have any of you official programme to give coordinates of the spectators zones?
The injured spectator is in critical condition, comfirmed by the hospital

Hope things are ok for the poor man.
Injured spectator remains in critical, yet stable condition. He has been unconscious since the accident.

I hope everything will be okay with the fan. These events really don't need any casualties :/

I cannot understand why spectator zones should be kept out of the internet. For people coming to see the rally from abroad this is a big obstacle to plan their route in advance.Quote:

Let's hope the best for the man. Feeling bad for the drivers too. Remembers me of that Harju accident in '96 (wasn't there though, seen it on amjayes' channel on streetfire)
Wasn't it the Venezuelan team's Evo X that was involved?
Not Alistair Fisher, its the cars being used by Brynildsen and KetomaaQuote:

Does anyone have route map of 1994 Neste Rally of Thousand Lakes?
This year it's my 20th consecutive time live in "Jyskälä" and I've been doing some history work concerning my first visit in 1994 (I was just under 4 years old back then). I was to two stages with my dad and family friends. I still have the ticket from Himos stage (SS26) (first pair-start SSS in WRC afaik) and a photo of me at some forest stage waiting for cars. I need the map to verify from which stage the photo is from, as my dad can only recall the approximate location of the stage... Thanks :)
I have the VM spectator guide from 1994. Now it depends how detailed information you want. Do you would to have only the itinerary or a scanned jpg/pdf from the “big” map of some particular stages or any particular stage description?
Btw, I like your videos from the tests :) . I would also like also to attend those tests (but I don’t even know where the tests are) but it’s a little a far away from where I’m living.
I already have the itinerary, I'm in need for the big map (especially Saturday stages) as my dad only recalled some municipality in which's vicinity the stage was held. :)Quote:

Niemi: Testijärjestäjä peräänkuuluttaa ralliyleisön harkintaa | Yle Uutiset | yle.fi (google translation, main points are clear: Google Translate ) His company was not responsible for the Saarijärvi test.
Has anyone seen any video footage of Mr. Novikov's tests from Saturday? There's one jump I'm interested to see has he landed yet...
Leaving for NORF at this moment. Hope to have nice days in Jyväskylä area! See you guys on sight. If raining we have black Ohlins umbrella, father and son 59 and 28 yrs light blondes.
Enjoy everyone!!!

So apparently he is starting.
We're in Helsinki at the moment, leaving tomorrow morning. Hopefully the weather stays dry.
I've got a massive Aussie flag, say hello if you see me :)

Hey guys - are the jumps in Ruuhimäki towards the end of the stage?
Yes, they are. The spectator guide says they’re at about 3,6 – 4,80 km from the beginning of the stage but the length of the stage is 4,62 km. :D

If you are in Helsinki at the moment, you’re about 25 km to east where I live.
Welcome to Finland and the rally and I hope you will have a nice time.
I don't know exactly what jump do you mean but I have some footage...Novikov did some kind of endurance testing and did something like 12-13 stints straight. He ran out of fuel after 8th or 9th run..But his pushing was starting to get really wild as one can see from my first upload to youtube ever :DQuote:
