Some people say the fences are for keeping all the moosies in the woods and off the road. There are lots of moosies in Finland
But some say its to help the farmers who had a bit too much to drink to stay out of the woods and find their way home...they can be blind drunk and if they wander off the road they hit the fence then they can feel their way home.
Or somebody's home anyway... :crazy:

Shirley, I could not comment on which is more true.. :D

The jump was good, but far too many people out there. I was wondering about the Jarko Nikara VIP zone at the top close left side, fencing stupid 10m deep with only a few people inside agains thousends of slave to authority fans in 5-6 rows outside struggling with the marshals and helicopter before first loop. Even Mrs. & Loeb events...

I think eight years in between made a greater difference, development on both the cars and the road.

Are in-car films in this year free to uploading to net?
Just wondering because so many of these are online now. I didn't see any mentions in norf regulations although...

where are they ?

I have only found the Uninpojha stage from alistair fischer... nothing more but clips apart from that.
