[WRC] Rally Finland 2022

[AnttiL]

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.

I actually thought about this, it's clever to make people stay on the stages. If they leave "before the last cars" they are missing the fastest Vetomies cars.

And yes. Swedish SMHI now changed to less rain.

The three national meteorological agencies (NOR, SWE, FIN) all use the same common NWP model for scandinavia. So they should show the same, depending on update schedule and visualisation.

Other private sites might have some different predictions, but likely less accurate overall.

all packed and leaving tomorrow.

i really hope Tänak could trouble the Toyotas more than in Estonia, would be boring to see another Toyota intra-team battle but i highly doubt it. Gonna have fun anyway.

Btw. Anyone has succeeded buying the pass digitally?

I hope he can trouble the Toyotas and not have his car trouble him.

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).

Hope you get well soon and hopefully you’ll be able to make it to Sweden/Finland/both next year!

Yeah. I think it will be another Kalle vs Evans with Lappi and Tänak fighting for third place. Breen behind them, and Neuville maybe just taking it cautiously. Fourmaux, Greensmith, Loubet, Katsuta and Solberg could end up crashing or being completely lost. If someone surprises us positively, I would see it being Loubet. And I hope Huttunen can be faster as the 2-4th Pumas on Friday and increase the speed towards the end of the rally.

Rally1 is largely predictable, I wish the step-up Finns well: Huttunen, Pajari, Herranen... could surprise.
