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."quattro best 4wd rallycar ever"

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

Hyundai already did their Finland tests earlier in the summer.
The context - Rossel went to the grass after the jump, really lucky that there wasn't anything solid there, it could be game over.
