Barry Sheene often singled out the Finnish Grand Prix at Imatra as the worst on the calendar, condemning it as a dangerous, isolated, tree-lined goat track that only a handful of people bothered to turn up to watch. When he added the probability of Arctic weather, he made a compelling case.
I wonder if things there have improved ?

I think they may have moved the parked up railway wagons from the side of the track Howard?
