Anyone know what the weather will be like?

Considering what to pack with you, it's good to recognize that mornings and late evenings can be a lot colder than midday. If it's open skies, it can be close to zero early in the morning, then going up to 10 degrees or more during the day and again down in the evenings.

Anyone know what the weather will be like?

Thursday-Wednesday night it went down to -6 in Jyväskylä but like boys said 5-10 in day light time and if sun shines it feels lot warmer.

it was a really hard decision but the first time in 6 years we arent going to the rally this year.

the late announcement about the spectators made the holiday planning difficult for our camp and also financially it would take a lot. Previous years you knew the things in advance so you could split the money and do the planning very early.

Such a shame cause i really wanted to say goobye to this gen. cars on this fast rally but Estonia isnt a bad place also to say goodbye. Thinking now back im really happy i went to Rally Estonia which i didnt plan in the beginning.

so this time ill be at home and with WRC plus.

The event date change was also bad for me personally. My wife is expecting our second kid to be born just some days after the event, so I don't want to be far if that starts happening. Likely I'm skipping the whole event, at best I'm looking forward to visiting Päijälä which is only an hour away from my home.

So Lappi was testing with "old" car without the 2021 front aero last week and tests again today with current car.

Change of plans or was one of the tests just extra?
Will he drive the old car or new?
