WRC Secto Rally Finland 2025

[bearclaw]

We are planning to visit Rally Finland after the beautiful autum edition in 2021 again. On our list is the infamous crest/bend section at the Päijälä stage near the end. Is it possible to get there via the finishline or is this road closed form the main road towards the finish?

In 2024 there was a map that several roads to this section were closed. Is the only way to walk from the Päijälä junction to the jumps?

Thanks for helping us out.

The rallymagazine will only became revealed later quite close to rally. But, it should be pretty much the same as it was in 2024. Päijälä is great stage for spectators. Hope you have a nice visit to Finland and enjoy.

Also depends what is reasonable of course

Seb Ogier will most likely sit this one out. The motivation to compete is lower than it was last year.

First, Elfyn and Kalle are in strong championship positions especially now that the tricky gravel rounds are out of the way. Two, he has an obvious soft-spot for Ott Tanak, unlike the case last year with Neuville. Third, Toyota's manufacturers' lead is very healthy, and if that situation were to change in the next few events, there would be plenty of opportunities later on in the season to lend a hand.

In my opinion, the motivation is even better this year. This year, the pace is truly there to compete with anyone so he feels that he can do it. Therefore I wouldn't bet on it.

But if Ogier sits out, Oliver probably will get his place. Latest I heard was that the decision about Oliver will be made just before the deadline. So if Seb decides to drive, I think Oliver sits out and vice versa.

Hardly. Seb won 8 titles in a row and then went part time through lack of motivation. Of course if he wanted to do full time he would win the 9th, 10th, 11th... But he chooses not to and is vocal enough about it. What's with all the 'he feels like he can do it this year'? It's the same every year because he's a cut above everyone else.

I'll bet on him not going to Finland but if he does it'll be a co-decision with Toyota and having nothing to do with a driver championship charge.
