It's both hard and easy to be fair.Quote:

So you'd need to find an unprepped road, which leads to the risk of getting stuck. Or walk long distances in deep snow.
Either that or get on the stage the day before, park up in any kind of small road and then walk on the stage.

Maybe at Rally Finland in the summer it´s possible, but in Sweden in winther no way.
Per, where did he mentioned that he did not want to pay? To me it looks like he does not want to spectate in designated crowded places. Which is a whole different story. I could be wrong though...Quote:

Make sure you arrive in time, as during the last 30 minutes before the stage starts you are not allowed to be on the road anymore. Also the access roads are often jammed, a lot of people are coming to watch the event. It's better to be 1,5 hour early than 10 minutes late... Always listen to the stewards, in Sweden they are very reasonable. If they say something is not OK for them, there's a reason for it. Also when crossing the road during a stage, remember that cars start every minute or two, but one can be slower than another or can make a mistake. So there's absolutely no guarantee that you have a full minute after a car passed. Try to listen to what's coming, but remember that the sound of the cars is more quiet than in other events, especially with fresh snow. Also the later R5 cars (especially Fabia) are very quiet which makes them a bit more dangerous...
And last but not least, NEVER sit down during a rally. When a rally car goes off at 145kph, it means 40 meters per second. There's already very very little time to react, but if you sit down it's completely impossible to make a reaction.
Well, using the word "sneak" means in my world he´s too stingy to pay for being on a stage.Quote:

I've never been to Hof-Finnskog stage before and I know with weather and traffic I can't go by Google maps for times. Anyone been this route before know if its possible in the time scheduled?

You can do it if you stay to see only the 20 first cars. Distances are not so long from Torsby.Quote:
