[WRC] 70th Rally Finland 2021

[Eli]

Route revealed for the 70th Anniversary of Rally Finland, a bit short compered to other years, considering the situation I guess it's no surprise to anyone.

Should be interesting as we do get a few evening/night time stages.

19 Stages completing 287.11kms.

- Vesala shakedown, Ässämäki, Moksi, Oittila and Päijälä are run reversed compared to 2019. Parts of Vesala, Päijälä, Oittila and Ässämäki have never been run in this direction.
- Kakaristo starts on a new section, comes from a completely new direction to the Kakaristo junction, proceeds on last year's route and extends longer using a bit of road driven on the Hassi stage in 2011
- Arvaja is driven like planned for 2020, but it's a completely new stage for the current drivers, last used in 1994.
- Patajoki is a new title, but it uses roads from Vaheri and Himos stages, used in the 90's and 00's. The last time any bit of this stage was used was 2010. The ending is completely new.
- Sunday is exactly like 2019.

A great route, great implementation of a three-day route when they packed in the shakedown, opening super special and five forest stages inside Friday. Almost like in my blog post from a year back

SS5 Oittila and SS15 Harju. And likely some dark action from WRC2 onwards on SS14, and maybe dark from WRC3 onwards on SS4.
