That looks an amazing bit of road for spectating. Anyone any idea what stage this is on?
Or has anyone any good advice on good locations. Difficult this year with new location and my flight today got cancelled so I now don't arrive until late tomorrow night. No time for Recce unfortunately

One of the challenges up north might be fewer spectators on the stages, and in fewer places. Not as many roads lead into the stages compared to Vārmland, where you have small roads everywhere.
Result could be that we can get more blockages, with no people to help cars up from the ditch, or lying on the side or the roof after hooking in the snowbanks.
There will be safety personnell out, but only 1 here and there, out where they are needed.
Maybe they need snowmobile patrols scattered out along the stages with comms to racecontrol, that will see if a car stops on stage.
Hopefully it will be no problem, but plan for the unexpected is a good principle!

With eWRC out for the moment, this one could be an alternative to WRC.com

EDIT: I was late
Lowest point was probably when they had to put the top class drivers to run RX2e cars for the final races of the season, after the whole fire on the Lancias drama.
