No worrie about that, however thereīs gonna be some other highlights anyway. Ouninpohja will be back another year.
Good to see, its a great stage but its massively overhyped. Couldn't go 5 minutes of coverage last year without one of the commentators mentioning how excited they were for Sunday, felt a bit forced at times.Quote:

Dropping the most famous stage across rally world and keep those who are not even good like Harju because mixing things up. They could keep Ouninpohja and drop everything else.
Super special stages do have their places in the itinerary. And it's not like the first time Ouninpohja isn't part of the route.
Personally find it more annoying when the route changes are cosmetic.
Super Special Stages pay the bills...Quote:

I'm waiting for the Rally Portugal one, which is two months before Finland. It's quite frustrating when you are trying to plan your trip.
If I remember correctly, they used to announce the route at the end of February or early Mars. Itīs early but sooo nice...
The itinerary for Portugal is supposed to come in a couple of weeks.Quote:
