Dear rally friends,
I will have a second chance to attend the great rally Finland which will take place this year.
From my first visit in 2007 I had great experience and moments. Especially the great car jumps in Ouninpohja, Velipohja!!!
Our group of people is coming from Bulgaria in the evening of 30th July and we are going to stay close to Jamsa, cottage in Himos.
I will let you know my plan for watching the rally by segments. I will appreciate if you can answer the questions I have. We would like to watch jumps and fast-driving segments as much as we can. I spent many nights in searching in Google maps and other websites, watching clips, so I made the following schedule:
01.08. Shakedown
I chose two jumps one after another, which are situated in a long distance before the finale.
02.08. SS 1 –Can you please advise me a place where we can watch fast racers? In some of the articles on the web I watched an amateur clip with a regular car, but I didn’t see any jumps on that segment. Is that right?
I would be happy if you advice me where to watch SS3, as it is a new one and we are interested in it.
03.08
1. SS4 Urria – the chosen place is a car jump close to Orrati lake.
My question is the following: Can you reach that segment with a car from road Hakamaentie, which is separating from road 23?
Or can I go from road Uriantie east, where it intersects with the segment, but from that point to the car-jump place is around 3 km, isn’t it too far?
2. SS7-10 Palsankyla – the chosen place is the car-jump segment close to Iso Pohjoislampi lake. We can enter to the segment from road Pilkakoskentie.
Or we can enter from Aholantie, where in my opinion is closer to the car jump.
Since there will be too many people and cars, do you, guys, think that we can go from SS4 to SS7 in time? My plan is to watchWRC and S2000 at SS4.
3. SSS – do you think we will manage to reach it after SS10?
04.08.
1. SS 14 Leustu – Jump Novikov, is situated on road Hirvimaentie. Since SS will be on the opposite direction, do you think that there will be a jump on that opposite side?
2. SS Ouninpohja –jump Yellow house !
Maybe there is incorrect information and some mistkaes in all that I mentioned above but after all it is in theory. Probably many of the questions I asked you about would have their answers after I arrive there and buy the schedule (parking lots, how to reach the segments and etc.)
Thank you in advance to all of you for your comments and pieces of advice!
Best rally regards,
Zdravko
