Ari Vatanen's son might drive NORF this year:

So, Kubica's rally calendar includes rally Finland. I'm looking forward to see him driving here.

In 1984 too :) So... no chance for onboards. Maybe that's even better :)Quote:

So what about Itenary for NORF?
I would have wanted some more new stages, and more mileage...
It seems we´re getting more and more Mickey Mouse stages even in NORF...
At least it's more mileage than last year. But for sure the stages appear something we are very used to. Torittu and Himos are new, Painaa kind of new and some other well known stages are run reversed, so it's something.
Looking from spectator point of view, it's okeyish. Thursday is more friendly with schedule, no need to drive south of Lahti nor stay on stages near midnight. For Friday 3-4 stages is possible, same for Saturday. And even if stages are same, there are plenty of corners and jumps to choose from.
For sure. But my expectations were a lot more. Though I´m sure it will all be very nice in the end.Quote:

Our plan is to do recce on Torittu, Himos (which I believe they will run down the ski slope) and Painaa on our way from Helsinki up to Jyväskylä on Wednesday. Painaa by the way, will be very fast up to first junction, then thru the big trees for 200 m and right on small road for a couple i kilometers, to the left in junction which was so hard for many drivers (amongst them Sandell) coming from reversed direction. Then only a couple of hundred meters and finnish. I´m I right??
