    Just a speculation.

    Let`s say if I happen to be in Rovaniemi and find a forest road leading to SS, what will happen? Are the access roads totally blocked?

    Been on several rallyes in Finland during last decades but never in Lapland.

    At least the national Arctic Rally closes access roads (there aren’t many)

    If there is no spectators allowed, please do not go. Sad to say, as I would like to go myself, but no means no.

    Ok, understood.
    Sad, the last real winter rally with lots of snow was quite a few years ago.

    But even that was quite warm and slushy. It will be different in very cold conditions with hard road base, high snow banks and powder snow.

    Details of the route were told in KSML newspaper today

    - Friday: 30 km Sarriojärvi
    - Saturday: Jyrhämäjärvi, Kaihuavaara and Siikakämä, all twice
    - Sunday: Aittajärvi twice

    That makes only nine stages so maybe a single run for Sunday or Friday in addition. And all the roads which feature in the national event, are run in the opposite direction so local drivers can still enter the WRC event.

    Yes, forgot Sweden already. Lots of snow and around -20C. But was it 2018 or 2017?

    There are proper snow-banks and no spectators. If you are getting stuck in snow, you are your own.

    And I think there may be reason actually to rescue some crew from this situation due to really low temperatures. I think they don't wear and carry proper winter clothes in their cars.

    I remember when Ogier crashed in Sweden 2019, he didn’t have his jacket with him to cut down all weight.
