Night stages, a Lapland countryside blanketed by ‘white gold’ and temperatures plunging to a bone-chilling -20°C are just some of the highlights of the Arctic Rally Finland Powered by CapitalBox itinerary which was released on Tuesday. It will be based in Rovaniemi, on the fringe of the Arctic Circle, and features 10 stages covering 251.08km. The event will include sections of stages that featured on the Finnish championship-opening Arctic Lapland Rally last month, with other parts driven in the reverse direction. “The stage includes flowing sections and will be a firm favourite among the drivers with the second pass run in the dark. “It’s the longest stage of the rally and crews will need to be ready for some extremely narrow sections and many corners over crests. “This is a legendary Lapland stage with a section running through the farmhouses at Niemelä.
