I'd say the risk of having red flag for that reason is quite big in Arctic.Quote:

Three things that are valuable fans basins imho. (youngster, gamers, sports-fans)
Some familiar SS names from original Richard Burns Rally game, but not sure if in the game SS were build based to real road data or not, has anyone made comparison?

11.3 Drivers’ Safety Equipment...
"Each car must carry two snow shovels, a tow rope and warm clothes, hats, mittens and shoes for driver and co-driver. In case of an accident with a reindeer, the police must immediately be informed at tel. 112."

SS3/6 goes over a frozen swamp and onto a practice track (probably these routes https://www.rally-maps.com/Snow-Rally-Rings-2019). Otherwise they are familiar from the national Arctic Rally. Last night I watched onboards of Siikakämä and Aittajärvi, they are so fast stages...
Ten years ago you had to have some logs in the car to be able make a fire to keep you warm if you had to retire. You also had to have a knife in the car to end the misery of a reindeer in case it was still suffering :)Quote:

If I retired on stage I would wait for CRO to come to collect my retirement form and then not need to burn any logs ;)Quote:

Very remote area plus no fans allowed - sounds like teams should impress on their crews to stay on the road at all costs.Quote:

The Italian media "Rallye Time" assures that Lorenzo Bertelli is one step away from closing his participation in the Finnish event. The Italian would return to the wheel of a rally car after almost two years in dry dock. His last participation took place in the 2019 Rally Chile.

Cmon.. don't forget it's not slow and tricky Monte. Arctic Rally is very fast and WRC's make the most advantage on fast sections vs R5's..

Hirvonen has seen Rovanperä's working methods up close
In Finnish, Kalle Rovanperä has the expectation of success. Rovanperä, who finished fourth in the Monte Carlo Rally, which opened the season, immediately took a real leap forward from the previous year, when he drove in the classic race for the first time with WRC equipment.
Compared to other top names, the Finn was still a novice mirrored in experience. In Rovaniemi, the parts change, as Rovanperä won the Rovaniemi Finnish Championship rally in a Toyota WRC car a year back. Other peaks have no similar experience.
- Kalle now has a place to strike. Not reloading too much pressure, but anything is possible. The pace is enough to drive the victory, Hirvonen believes.
Ten special stages with a total length of 251 kilometers will be run in the Rovaniemi World Rally Championship. Immediately on Friday, it is the turn of the special test for more than 30 kilometers of Lake Sarriojärvi twice. On Saturday, it is the turn of a three-speed run twice. Sunday culminates in a stretch of Aittajärvi, the latter draw of which is at the same time the culminating Power Stage of the rally.

Kalle Rovanperä opened his season excellently, although a flat tire and time fines ruined the opportunity for an even better placement. Hirvonen drove Rovanperä's front car in the race.2021 Getty Images
When Rovanperä drove in Rovaniemi a year ago, in addition to Lake Sarrio and Aittajärvi, the program nominally included Kaihuavaara and Siikakämä on Saturday. Of course, the snippets are not the same for one tism, but Rovanpera is familiar with the roads - at least compared to other top drivers.
- I think Kalle has a note ready for the World Rally Championship. It has the advantage of being able to drive places through the race pace. The magnitude of that advantage cannot yet be assessed. Others are also professional guys to make a note and they try to dig out all the information they can only get from the route, Hirvonen reminds.
Rovanperä can also make sheet music. Hirvonen, who has been driving Rovanperä's front car in asphalt rallies for the last two years, knows this. In Monte Carlo, for example, front cars drove through the route in the morning before racing. Hirvonen's task was to make last-minute observations on Rovanperä's notes about conditions, among other things.
The chariot driver admires Rovanperä's way of describing the road. There is nothing in vain in the young man's note.
- He wants as little stuff in the note as possible. That's good style. It is important for Kalle that there is only one specific word for each circumstance that best describes it. The word itself doesn't matter, because the most important thing is that we both understand what its purpose is, Hirvonen describes.
- Kalle's style is best described by simplicity: a bend is not described in two words, but in one word - be it "ice" or "little ice". We have slowly developed this. That’s where it starts as vocabulary grows.

The first thing for me to say is a very big thank you to Hyundai Motorsport

Oliver Solberg
So Adamo doesn't hesitate to give opportunity to young gun, let's see what he can make of it. I think it is a little bit too soon but we will see.
Or Solberg has just put in enough money ;)Quote:

Also interesting that he decided to learn these cars which will be obsolete next year
