Driving, negotiating the traffic jams and using small roads to bypass them, it's all part of the game! ;)

That means I`ll be able to use your local knowledge and follow you to the stages :) ?

I don't see any problem with that. :) Actually the guy with the real knowledge is my father, he's been spectating 1000 Lakes and NORF for decades. He has tremendous skills to avoid jams. We've never encountered any major jams except outbound from day's last SS (=doesn't affect schedule).

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".

About the places OldF mentioned, I could add in SS Mynnilä perhaps a similar place with long view with entrance at around 8,8 km, then walking towards the start.

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?

Do you have the link?

Just wondering if there is this year also fully video coverage of the NORF stages for the drivers? I have seen some years ago DVD which shows all that year stages driven by Seppo Harjanne :) and road book turns etc where illustrared in that film...

There is one this year also. Drivers don't get it automatically. They have to order it.
