Neste Rally Finland 2017

[sghiwosh81]

There are no bad stages in Rally Finland, every stages has some good viewing points. You have to choose based on what kind of action you like: Jumps, crossings, high speed action etc.
Maybe some non Finnish people are better to tell some tips because us finns live here everyday.

I will only be present on Friday, what special may be interesting to see jumps? Halinen, Urria or Jukojärvi?thanks from Italy

But doesn't it sound weird that they skip Finland but they attend almost all other events this season. Okay probably they won't go to Australia but there is a good reason for that.

No, it's not strange. I understand that people don't like it but there is nothing strange from their point of view about skipping Finland.

Vetomies entry list with numbers, this year 2wd will start first (and only foreign competitor last)

Looks like nice fight between RWD and FWD cars, fast drivers in both types.

The Friday itinerary is brilliant, something different to most events. The first loop has three stages which are immediately repeated before the midpoint service. The same is then done for another three stages on the afternoon loop (one of them only once). This will probably make it more difficult for the drivers to adapt to the different grip and road conditino without going to the service inbetween.

Meanwhile, the Saturday itinerary is a bit weird with four stages in a loop but the second loop having them repeated in different order...what's the idea behind that?

Maybe:
- it could be hard for rallycars in afternoon traffic, easier to stay in schedule when direction is opposite
or
-they believe that spectators move less when ie. Saalahti1 and 2 are close in time. They want spectators divide, others go to Jyväskylä service park after Saalahti2 and others towards Jämsä

(You should ask about it, Kai Tarkiainen or Kari Nuutinen will answer in Twitter)
