Looking at videos and pictures, Hanninen is very very spectacular. Maybe a bit too much?
Hope he will manage to hold it till the end.
I do believe that spectacular doesn't mean fast stage time generally... Any feedback from people on stages? or more conoisseur than me?
if there is 50cm of snow as predicted, do they use snow plough before / in between the stage?
I'm sorry, but as exciting as it sounds, i highly doubt that this much snow would be drivable...
Official highlights of Day 1 in English - don't know who the first commentator is, then Paul King comes back:

- Paul King. Don't get me wrong; I think Colin Clark does a great job, but King is the commentator I have associated with the WRC for years.
What I didn't like:
- No balance between stage coverage; there was about five or six minutes' worth of content from Stage 1, but barely a minute's worth from Stage 2.
- The segment is too brief and there is too much focus on Loeb and Ogier. Maybe there will be a longer programme produced once the rally is over, but there was a whole lot going on - Latvala's recovery in the afternoon, Hanninen's stage times, Novikov and Ostberg yo-yoing through the field, and Kosciuszko's disaster - that didn't get covered. Outsiders could be forgiven for thinking that Loeb and Ogier are the only two drivers in the field.

Is there a good place to find info on conditions on todays stages?

Juho is the best that M-Sport have on this event and may well be the best driver they'll have this season even with only 2 events or, hopefully, a full season.Quote:
