[WRC] Rally Finland 2022

[pantealex]

This year first Vetomies cars could be bit boring because starting order for 2WD is reversed. Standard Focus/Fiesta 1.6 isn't very spectical... But those 350+ hp cars will not disappoint.

Gap must be 1min mostly because with 2min intervals 90 cars would take 3hours.

25 mm rain forecasted on Saturday in Jyväskylä region... 11 mm on Friday... Demanding for spectators also.

(Forecasted by swedish SMHI)

yr.no is usually quite spot on and they are forecasting less rain. This summer the rains have been quite unpredictable.

It seems most of the rain is coming on Friday evening.

Our whole family has COVID. I was feeling OK until last evening, but now I hardly can get out of bed. It's again no live rally for me.

This is how the past five Rally Finlands have went for me

2021 younger child was born on rally weekend. 0 stages.
2020 no rally. 0 stages.
2019 bought new apartment in April, was able to move into it on the last weekend of July, yes, rally weekend. 2 stages on Friday.
2018 wife had work trip in Germany so I had to take care of our then one-year old child. Shakedown only.
2017 I had a bad cold and our then 4-month old kid also was ill. 1 stage on Friday.

So, during five years I've managed to see three stages and a shakedown of WRC (and two short test days).

On that form just rule out 2023 now and treat yourself to Spain or somewhere.

Take care and get well soon.

I like your thinking but after this week, I don't have days off work until next year. And needless to say, more expensive and time-consuming to go abroad.

And yes. Swedish SMHI now changed to less rain.

The weather reports have had some crazy rain, sun shine and pretty much everything else in there. Otherwise I do not really care, but those field parks might be slightly tricky with big amount of rain to soften them up. Here in the neighbouring Pirkanmaa region it has been nice most of the day, but one 10-20 min monsoon each day for about a week now.
