The only thing I know is that city of Jyväskylä announced road closures for the Harju stage, for Thursday and Friday, so it will be again a full length event.

It looks very good!
Quick thoughts

(same that AnttiL wrote)
ps. That pictured "stage map" document is named "NORF" :)
Sahloinen - Moksi has been shortened, cutting out a technical section at the end. If we take a split time from Tänak's onboard from last year's first pass onto the 2022 finish line, the average speed is 133.3 km/h, which would be clearly the fastest stage of the rally. Of course the new cars will be slower especially on the high speed sections but still it's a candidate for the fastest stage of the rally.
Huttunen starts with Puma Rally1. No April Fools.

Good news. And couldn´t seriously be an April fool message.Quote:

About tickets... Just checked this, you can only buy a physical pass in Finland (must be sent to Finnish address). What's the value of a "electronic" ticket when your phone runs out of battery?
Does anyone know where this flat out spots are?

The two shots after 1m02s are Vesala, which was the Shakedown stage for the last few years, has been used both direction but isn't included in this year's route.Quote:

I wouldn't be worried.
Missed last year, booked for this year again
Hello rally fans,
This year I'm going to be 1st time on Rally Finland. If you can answer some of my questions about that, I would be delighted.
1. Can you give me some co-ordinates for a good, spectacular spots to watch stages?
2. Are tickets necessary to get in to the stage? Will we not be able to get in to the stage without tickets?
3. Also if you can give me some advices witch I didn't ask about, but will help us in spending nice time on Rally, I would be really thankful.
Thank you!
1. You won't go wrongQuote:

3. Mosquito spray. You'll only fail on this once.
Rubber boots, rain clothes. Cap if sunny. Parking often well placed, but prepare for walking a lot to the best spots...Quote:

Some of forest stages have first ticket sales points 5km/3miles before stage, so prepare to long walk in forest if you don't want to buy ticket...
Thank You so much guys for your help! Coming there from Poland so I want to get as much info as possible. Hope to see some of You in Jyvaskyla!
Get the official rally programme, lots of info and good points, there's also a good local one in Finnish only, a nice one to have as a momento as well.Quote:

Mosquito spray is a must.
The street where the cars assemble before the Harju stage is a really good place to get a different view on the rally, also you will meet some friends for life at a fantastic rally.
This is maybe your 1st time , it will be the 1st off many, you will be hooked, just enjoy.
WRC+ onboards is very useful for finding good places, you also have a map on there you can follow.
Not always so easy to judge what is a jump or not.
As long as you avoid junctions and most of the spectator areas and find some places with speed, crests and jumps you can't go wrong. Nothing better than finding your own spot
Use rally-maps.com and right click to get coordinates, planetemarcus.com/saison-wrc/wrc-rallye-finlande-2022/ also posts kmz files soon i think which you can add to my maps in google so you get all stages in google maps if you don't use a gps.
I always add a lot of stuff in my gps before i leave home.
1. It's difficult to give the recommendations, people like different things. Like has been said here, buy the official program or watch the onboards on wrc+....or contact Antti ;)Quote:

Actually it kinda depends, i have been to the rally since 2015 (except 2021), i remember one year they controlled it basically everywhere and then the other year they didnt control it basically at all. But still better to have it. Have some cash with you, you have to pay for the parking basically everywhere, not only night time but also day time when you are going to different stages.
3. Bring warm clothes and hiking boots with you, definitely two pair of shoes are needed and a raincoat or umbrella. Yeah its august and summertime but for example in 2019 its was so cold during nights that i thought i will freeze to death in the tent, i was shaking all night long while sleeping and couldnt wait for the morning, so it can get very cold but then again 2018 it was so hot all the time, be prepared for both. OF course i dont know how are you travelling there, if you are going with the camper van then no problems at all. A barbecue grill is a must, plastic dishes, pot and a pan, food, freezer, knife definitely, folding chairs (you have to be early on some stages and its more comfortable to sit and wait) alcohol, good mood, backpack, flags and shirts for the ones you support.
E: oh and a small radio is a MUST, there isnt mobile connection everywhere, so you can at least hear the results on the radio. and battery banks for mobiles.
These are things from top of my head.
And i cant wait for it, going again this year.
Thank you for your help from the bottom of my heart guys, hope to see you in Finland!
Entry closes today (Monday), FIA approved list will be published this Friday
Maybe we will get some general info before that ...
Pajari with Skoda Fabia Rally2 evo
Puma for Huttunen confirmed...
https://www.autosport.com/wrc/news/h...land/10333936/
Let's see what can Huttunen do with the Puma. Maybe if Loubet continues his good momentum from Sardegna and Breen can stabilise his performance, Ford will have a good trio for 2023.
https://twitter.com/hartusvuoriwrc/s...7Ip_FNgGIy_D0Q
45 entries (like Gryazin will not start)
There is another ANA also.Quote:

-4WD alphabetically

3x Australian
1x Italian
couple of cancelations but about 90 will start.
No new Fabia here in the end.. shame, i guess Lindholm would have liked to have had it there.
Do you seriously think MSPORT drivers are picked based on performance?Quote:

Anyway I wish Huttunen good luck, way overdue to start with WRC.
I don't think there's an issue with him in Finland. I read that Finland is even allowing Russian tourists in....Quote:

New RS has no homologation number yet, so in any cases you have to make your entry with old one but you can swap car after August 1st...
From what I understood, if all goes well they will be able to debut the car in Greece.
They could.. i would be surprised if they debuted it with just Lindholm, although I would be happy to see it.Quote:
