They had chosen the stage before Power Stage system, with live TV, was announced. Then they realised that broadcasting it with that length was very difficult. In fact, we only saw on TV last kilometres of the stage. This year the PS is going to be the last part of last year Santa Clara stage, called Sambro (5,08 km).

So maybe that was the reason why I mixed it up because of the live-broadcasting only was the last 5 K, but PS for whole stage.

Anyway, the PS of NORF 2012 will be a huge challenge for the drivers!!

ANd the route of the rally will be challenge for all the spectators (with roadwork in Jämsä) and transport from Leustu to Ouninpohja in Saturday afternoon.

Great news that Ouninpohja is back....
Give me a lot memories back when i was there last time...

Do we have any date when Rallyguide #1 will be presented?

All in all the route is much more sensible than last year. Me like very much. :up:

I heard RG1 will be presented in the end of March according to new WRC rules.

Shock! The official spectator's guide won't be produced by Vauhdin Maailma (VM) as it have been for like since the times before Jesus, but instead AKK-Motorsport have made a deal with A-Lehdet and their car magazine Tuulilasi will do the job. Good thing is that it'll be all new, but I hope that will mean it'll be improved, not plagued by newbie mistakes.

Also, Citroen and its Finnish importer Auto-Bon have inked a sponsor deal.

Oh, and no sign of RG1 yet... Maybe tomorrow.

Good shock :)

Perhaps we get two spectators' guides now...
