who you think can fight podium places in rally Finland and who can fight for victory? I think we have 7 drivers fighting for podium. VW boys tanak, meeke, neuville and paddon. If weather stays dry i think ogier is out for victoryfight and tanak and meeke can fight with Jarimatti. I hope Jm can win! Go jarimatti Hanaa!!

Who you think can win and who can finish podium in Wrc2?

Wrc2.. Suninen said factory boys had better top speed and more power in engine. So Lappi and Tideman have change to win. What can evans do?

It will be very interesting. Some big statements to be made in Finland. Lappi really showed Tidemand the way last year, so if the roles are reversed this time around that would be massive for Pontus.

I think one of one the Fabia guys will come a cropper on leg one. I think the fight will be that intense. I think Evans will just be slightly further back as he was in Poland. But let's see!

Service park layout.

Toyota area (cars #47 #50) is small, so probably not Yaris WRC on display :(

(and Hyundai is already building "the House")

Last year Tidemand was also slower than Lappi in Poland, but this year that was not the case so I expect them to be close in Finland.

I don´t think there will be any Toyota show area. It´s only MM Motorsport service area as it was in Rally Estonia..

Yes, but even more so if both were in Fabias.
Henning in an older Fiesta without Evo kit (if so) will be behind in power.

I think the third missing driver was #40 Giordano, not Bonato.

Yeah, Loeb Racing´s Peugeot 208T16 R5 driver Giordano is NOT starting (source: his Twitter)
and WRC3 Renault Turbo driver Burri is NOT starting (source: his Facebook)

According to Kai Tarkiainen (Clerk of the Course) Henning is changing his car...
so probably they simply do not know who is servicing him, hard to put a place for him.

Here’s some general info for those who is first time spectating NRF. For field parking is good to have coins or five euros bills.

Teemu Suninen next flying Finn

Teemu Suninen really hard preparing for the Rally Finland.
test rally in finland and two days testing. Difficult it has been. exit of the second stage and the exit of the first test day and car repair lasted 6 hours. However, I still believe he can reach the victory in Rally finland WRC2.

Teemu´s manager Timo Jouhki rumored to be negotiating with the three-team. in the first place is the Citroen second place hyundai and the third toyota.

Could anyone confirm that these roads are open?
Entry road top left? Hänninen's corner top right and entry where there is a red house close to the lake at the bottom one.

What itinerary for Vetomies is correct btw, the one with Mökkipera at 9:13 or 9:48?

Thanks for this and the previous advice - some big photos need signatures so where can I get an Angus Young costume to sneak in with the kids for Meet the Drivers?

Another chance is to visit the brand new rally museum in Kangasala. There are a lot of ex-works cars, eg Talbot Sunbeam Lotus, early Gr. B Quattro, Delta HF and Focus WRC in there.
