Driving, negotiating the traffic jams and using small roads to bypass them, it's all part of the game! ;)
You do have a traffic light (in singular)!Quote:

I made some recce with googlemaps using the low resolution stage map but it was little bit tricky to find the correct roads on googlemap.
Then I found rally-maps on a Finnish forum. Now it’s much easier :) but pity that not all roads has street view :( .
Did you learn anything worth sharing? Me and my friend has been using Rally-maps as well, looks good, but makes me wonder where they've gotten such detailed information and thus is it exact.Quote:

So far I’ve choosed few spots with fields around and long view. In our gang is alsoa guy that can’t walk so far so the spots has to be choosen with that in mind. We’re probably moving around with a camper (top speed about 110 km/h, 65 hp and after a year it can be registered as a museum vehicle :D ) so parking is also one issue.
Thursday: No plans so far.
Friday: Hyväneula 1 (SS6; 11:53) & 2 (SS9; 16:20) and Mynnilä (SS11; 19:46)
Saturday: Leustu 1 (SS12; 7:58) & 2 (SS17; 13:55) or Surkee 1 (SS13;9:00) & 2 (SS18; 14:57), the rest of the day is not planned.
Hyväneula:
Maybe Rally Map | Rally-Maps.com 14,60 km from start.
or Rally Map | Rally-Maps.com 15,85 km from start. A long straigth before this junction.

Mynnilä:
Rally Map | Rally-Maps.com 6,40 km from start
Surkee:
Rally Map | Rally-Maps.com 7,15 km from start.
Much depends on where the spectator areas are which is known at 15.7 when the spectator guide is will be released.
How about Evo SS5 about 1,1 km from start?
Next week planning the route and doing spectator recce... Sh*tloads of driving ahead, but I don't complain, NORF is only once in a year. :D
I'll be spectatin'.
No street view of that spot, no more resolution either. Rally Map | Rally-Maps.comQuote:

This rally radio's video starts from that junction at 1,1 km. Spectators on the left field, you'll see some safe action. After that part there are many interesting places, jumps (that video around 58"), farms, trees and stones lined up, but the questions are entrance and view - the beginning of the Evo stage is very green and at parts it reminds of those Central European roads with trees arching above. After the junction 2,2 km starts a faster section but from spectator view with mentioned problems. Take a look at the video at 4'19".Quote:

This year we are perhaps happy with only 3 stages a day. It could be 4 SS on Saturday, depends on traffic. It also depends on the places we spot, how they work and also how's the competition. It'd also be nice to see the historics properly at some stage, though for us it's world rallying first of course. Any timetable for Lahti Historic yet?
