Are you sure? Official spectator areas A and B are before 2,2 km. Only the very first 500m is forbidden, probably because of farm animals and farmyards.

They said to me 2,2km BUT official program has it like you say so it's that first 500M before that big field.Quote:

Young forest (taimikko) just before 1st spectator area and one new "household owner" who has never seen a rally car / doesn't understand what rally is.Quote:

So, M-Sport did not test in Finland
How many minute intervals does the Vetomies run at on the Saturday?

Thunderstorm warning for today?
And it seems there will be some amount of rain on Thursday and Friday?
I think it's usually 1min for all, maybe a 2min gap between the last 2WD car and first 4WD. However be careful towards the finish of the stages, the gaps between those cars can differ quite a lot between these. ;) Seen the vetomies quite a few times in Finland, was never disappointed.Quote:

Gap must be 1min mostly because with 2min intervals 90 cars would take 3hours.
25 mm rain forecasted on Saturday in Jyväskylä region... 11 mm on Friday... Demanding for spectators also.
(Forecasted by swedish SMHI)
yr.no is usually quite spot on and they are forecasting less rain. This summer the rains have been quite unpredictable.Quote:

It seems most of the rain is coming on Friday evening.
Our whole family has COVID. I was feeling OK until last evening, but now I hardly can get out of bed. It's again no live rally for me.
This is how the past five Rally Finlands have went for me
2021 younger child was born on rally weekend. 0 stages.
2020 no rally. 0 stages.
2019 bought new apartment in April, was able to move into it on the last weekend of July, yes, rally weekend. 2 stages on Friday.
2018 wife had work trip in Germany so I had to take care of our then one-year old child. Shakedown only.
2017 I had a bad cold and our then 4-month old kid also was ill. 1 stage on Friday.
So, during five years I've managed to see three stages and a shakedown of WRC (and two short test days).
On that form just rule out 2023 now and treat yourself to Spain or somewhere.Quote:

I like your thinking but after this week, I don't have days off work until next year. And needless to say, more expensive and time-consuming to go abroad.Quote:

Man! Feel sorry for you.Quote:

Exciting days ahead!!
Don´t forget Pickems, guys. Closing Thursday 18.30 CST
I actually thought about this, it's clever to make people stay on the stages. If they leave "before the last cars" they are missing the fastest Vetomies cars.Quote:

all packed and leaving tomorrow.
i really hope Tänak could trouble the Toyotas more than in Estonia, would be boring to see another Toyota intra-team battle but i highly doubt it. Gonna have fun anyway.
Btw. Anyone has succeeded buying the pass digitally?
I hope he can trouble the Toyotas and not have his car trouble him.Quote:

And I hope Huttunen can be faster as the 2-4th Pumas on Friday and increase the speed towards the end of the rally.Quote:

WRC2 will be fought between Suninen and Lindholm, but there's many candidates for third place. I hope indeed Pajari can show some pace.
Rally pass can be used for local bus transport again this year according to to tourist centre Jyvaskyla who called the bus company. Lets see if actually works as it hasn't been advertised

Wtf shakedown already closed and not letting us on the stage from the start
Ridiculous….
Ah, should have written here, it was announced already earlier that the stage closes at 15. But you can still access the parking areas and walk to the stage in the morning.Quote:

”Harakka Huttua keittää, hännällänsä hämmentää”
Today it will start. There is only one favourite in Rally Finland, Jari Huttunen. I expect easy win for him.
Tänak on shakedown: "There is no feeling in the car". Looks like it will be another struggle for them sadly...
