Last year's Power Stage was too Toyota-friendly so they had to do something about that? :D
A forest stage with the last couple km on town streets would be good I think. I think it was two years ago at the candidate event when they had the last stage in the actual center of the town, and it looked good. Fully street stage would be mickey mouse, though.
Actually, indeed, I clearly didn't think this one through! Can't recall any stage-suitable roads even near enough to the town border.
Yes, when I said it will be a Mickey Mouse stage, I didn't mean a street stage. It will likely be a gravel stage, but an artificial route, the route is not visible on satellite images.
I wouldnt exactly call it a mickey mouse stage. But they have built a lot of roads there. Some of the road is very very narrow. Especially one place where a dump truck had a rollover during the building phase. Lots of variations how to run the stage.
The entry list for this rally is absolutely mouthwatering. In WRC there are the usual suspects but WRC2/3 is looking great, i think 5-6 drivers could potentially win and all 5 manufacturers have good representation, only Lappi is missing (and well, Veiby but you know...).
Took some pictures from the powerstage. Totally new section which is situated on the east side of the landing strip. Last years track is on the western side.
These are taken from the eastern side. Western side is also improved with new sections.
