    Just a speculation.

    Let`s say if I happen to be in Rovaniemi and find a forest road leading to SS, what will happen? Are the access roads totally blocked?

    Been on several rallyes in Finland during last decades but never in Lapland.

    If there is no spectators allowed, please do not go. Sad to say, as I would like to go myself, but no means no.

    At least the national Arctic Rally closes access roads (there aren’t many)

    Ok, understood.
    Sad, the last real winter rally with lots of snow was quite a few years ago.

    There are proper snow-banks and no spectators. If you are getting stuck in snow, you are your own.

    And I think there may be reason actually to rescue some crew from this situation due to really low temperatures. I think they don't wear and carry proper winter clothes in their cars.

    I remember when Ogier crashed in Sweden 2019, he didn’t have his jacket with him to cut down all weight.

    they do everything to save weight. In "Tänak The Movie - series" (the left out material) they showed how Martin was emptying the camel bags by sucking all the fluid out before PS stage.
