You are right on the spot. And don't hesitate to ask. But for 2013 you'll have to wait a bit for I think nothing much is decided for next year's event. Except it'll be on gravel, fast and jumpy.Quote:

Ok, so that was from the spectator movement point of view. I'm also planning for the lodging stuff & I hope I can ask that here as well. We're thinking of renting a summer cabin or probably a motorhome. A summer cabin is something that most article says the Finnish go to during the summer which we're quite keen of trying while the latter might be a bit difficult to find parking spot or even camping ground for its size. Maneuvering thru the traffic to the famous SS is a concern too.
As Juha says nothing ´s decided yet. It can as well be Lahti second leg, but if I remember right we should count on Lahti on year more (They had a three year deal with Lahti).
But count on Jyväskylä of course. You´ll have to be at HQ at least a couple of times just to feel the rallyatmosphere.
One other option is tenting... We have done so the last 5-6yrs and it´s so nice being out on stage the night before, having some beers among the finnish fellows...But one sad thing about tenting is that there´s no way of finding tentingplace in the city of Jyväskylä. (We had to find tenting place in secret behind som fences of an industrial part near centre of J)
Lahti deal was for two years and it's now done - unless they make a new deal. So that we'll have to wait and see. I hope they'll drop those southern stages or if they'll have to go there, be it more stages. This year it was a tiring joke.
I'd go for a cabin near Jyväskylä (Jämsä, Muurame, Korpilahti, Petäjävesi, Vaajakoski, etc.). Depending on your approach to spectating the event, mobile home isn't that agile. If you plan seeing just two runs of one stage, then yes, but otherwise I'd go for normal rental car. With summer cabin by a lake you'd get also what's best in Finnish summer.
Yup, renting a cabin is definitely in our to-do list, just not sure if its the 'better' choice since neither of us has been there before. We plan to spectate more stages, at more spots within a stage too, if possible.Quote:

Yes! Having beers togetther with other Finiish fellows is part of our plan too! haha.Quote:
