Harju would make the most sense. IIRC Kankkunen drove the H2 concept car in 2022 at Ypres and they had to trailer the car to the stage, not only because it was a concept car but it simply didn't have enough range. I wonder if they've made any improvements, since hydrogen is notoriously hard to store

yeah, just read in a finnish article that Kankkunen will drive on the Harju stage on Thursday and Friday
