And like you mentioned, schedule looks so that 3-4 stages per day should be reachable. Especially the fact that Friday runs 3+ hours longer in the forest stages is welcomed.

The change to drive Laajavuori as a stage can be because in the past the rallys first stage was usually Laajavuori.
RallyPer mentioned Humalamäki, does anyone know is that stage still gravel road? If it is, they should consider to bring it on, its an incredible stage.

I dont like the "two-days" race.
Friday is ok, maybe four stages that day, but on saturday its hard do see more and two or three i think...

The traffic its a big problem between the stages...

Shakedown??

No, no. According to Rallyguide shakedown will be at Muurame, but no maps showed on that one. So it´s still a "secret" where....

What about shakedown at Muurame? Any news? :confused:

Seppo Harjanne told in a radio interview that shakedown stage will start at about the end of the highway from Jyväskylä towards Jämsä (going under the highway) and ending at about Muurame Golf course. So that is not exact information, so this isn't 100% sure, but I'd think it'll be Rannankyläntie that will be used as a shakedown. If so, it look faster road than Laajavuori, but also harder to access from spectator's point of view. But like said, not exact information.

Let´s hope there will be something more exciting SD-stage. It´s a jubilee year and I thought they would offer something better. Even the stages in the rally could have been more exciting.... :(

I belive that many of the old legendary stages are today considered too dangerous, but I agree that they should change the stages from north of Jyväskylä, to stages in Tampere direction, there is a few good ones.

Anything more specific about the SD stage on this years NORF?

I´m eager to hear anything. I´m counting down already! :cool:

It's on gravel :-)

Like usual, the rally organisation is keeping a radio silence after the release of RG1, so nothing new on NORF 2010 - at least I haven't heard anything.
