If you are joining us just now, the 5th special which should have taken place at 12:10 p.m. was finally canceled for safety reasons with spectators.
The drivers therefore directly joined the 6th special, that of Harju, in a modified version compared to yesterday since there will only be one loop (instead of two on Thursday during SS1)
