Ouninpohja

[xavier.thomas.1980]

Cannot find it. Where is it? I have been waiting for it for months. I would expect the Finland update would have brought it, that was making sense in my mind. I never expected somebody would make a Finland rally event without it. If it is not comming in the future, I suppose we need to remove the col de Turini from the Monte Carlo rally too, just for the sake of consistency.

Kontinjarvi is roughly the first half of Ouninpohja. Kakaristo is roughly the second half.

I knew about Kakaristo but not Kontijarvi. What a shame we cannot run the full 33.11km iconic rollercosater. I will guess it is an resource problem, the full stage would require too much GPU resources.

Still gutted

Well that is 2 usefull words in case I need to comunicate with dutch people. ;)

I looked after Kontijarvi but could only find a lake/region way north of Jyvaskyla (way to far to be part of the Neste oil rally Finland). Is it a real live stage? Or is it an "invention/workaround" by codemasters to semi statisfy all the knukleheads like me that want it all.

[Meszes]

None of the stages are 'invention/workaround'.

[xavier.thomas.1980]

I said "invention" even if the piece of road exists in real life. I was just wondering if this "Kontijarvi" stage really was run in a Finland rally event. I could not find any evidence of it.

Any link to some evidence that can support your statement?

I'm patient enough to wait for the creator of this guide to update it with the Finnish stages.

Kontijärvi (in Jämsä) is the first half of the Ouninpohja stage, even includes the famous Yellow House jump and the unmissable Mutanen junction. Just compare these two videos, the match is almost perfect, if you just pay attention to keep them in sync:

and here starting at 22m50s

Even in the real life event, the Ouninpohja stage was actually dived into two halves a few years ago due to regulatory reasons. The division in the game matches that configuration pretty well.

I will take this as a "not yet"

Little help:

Thats is what I wanted to know, thanks. (Still no solid evidence though)

I finally found the Kontijarvi lake in the Jämsä region, not really surpised that they have duplicated names for lakes in Finland.

[mr. z]

Actually the name for that lake is Köntinjärvi - but too difficult for foreigners. Kontinjärvi is 400 km away towards north.

Too lazy to check it in game? Layout is 1:1 match to the first section of Ouninpohja (see link above).

[fedorico]

Is it only the Ouninpohja SS this finland 12 stages is based on?

I mean the "first half ( long stage ) and the second half ( long stage ) and then the sprint stages are taken from different sections of first & and second half of Ouninpohja??

[[fll.fi] dea]

^^ yes

Yes, it's a shame, but their game engine is limited to ~10 km only.
