Same here, I could have paid 12 SEK to read about the new stages, but apparently they allow only Swedish people to register. Rallyper? :)

According to this post comments, there are three new stages while four of last year's stages are gone. Also a new shakedown.
Alright. I´ll give it a try. During Sunday. Coming back this afternoon.
I write down all there is of information. There were no maps. But guess for Antti, it´s not needed ;)

Bummer. I thought one of those links had maps as well...I tried to find information about those stages being used before (google, youtube) but didn't find anything.
But tack anyway! :)
I´m sure you can find out stages anyway. Here´s a link to swedish version of "karttapaikka"

List of stages here. Umeå sprint already on Thursday, also at the end of Friday, then long Umeå at the end of Saturday and as a power stage. Three stages over 25 km.

I couldn't find any old usage of the new stages. Any local knowledge?
@AnttiL try to PM BleAivano. Maybe he should know. There were lots of Rally SM in Umeå back in the days...
SS9/12 Norrby

Yeah, like 4-5 proper crash corners and some crests in the beginning but other than that it's just long straights, flat corners and 90° junctions. Very typical Umeå stage :(
EDIT: Video was updated

*nevermind.

EDIT: SS16/17, the Sunday stage driven twice before power stage. Stage starts 1:16 into the video and at 17:25 the driver takes a wrong turn, should have gone left.

Kamsjö stage have been replaced with a new stage Floda. The new stage is about a half a kilometer longer. It will run in the same slot in the itinerary.

First corner at yellow house or one after a long straight at 4:10...
Hey everyone! I'm already starting to organize my assistance to Rally Sweden 2023. I'm not a complete noob in rallying, as I've attended to Catalunya 2021 and 2022 and Finland 2022, but the swedish WRC rally seems different to the rest. I have some questions, I hope someone can help me and help others having the same doubts.
Is it very cold? I've seen the historical weather for February and temperatures don't seem to go under -15ºC, but is it windy?
Do they allow you to spectate the rally from any spot near the road or you have to be in the official areas for spectating? Are there a lot of marshals? I've seen from onboards from 2022 that they are mostly in junctions. In Finland 2022 there were too much, they didn't even let you spectate decently.
Are the non-principal access roads decently conditioned to go with our rental 4x4 car?
Do you have any tip/trick for spectating night stages? Is it better to see them coming or leaving? I say it because of the lights from the cars might be annoying.
Thanks for your help!
Weather wise the coldest ever temperature measured in Umeå in February is -38.5 (in 1978) :disturb: If you travel to Vindeln-Sunnansjönäs which is about 60 km north west from Umeå, coldest measured (in 1978) is -45.3.
However, last year noted the highest temperature ever measured with +9. https://www.smhi.se/pd/klimat/pdf_st...wind_feb22.pdf
It can be really cold, but it could also be quite warm. Other news is that the service park area will be free of charge to visit.
Current snow depth is about 30 cm in central Umeå but above 40 cm in the inland west and north west of Umeå. https://www.smhi.se/vader/observatio...=vader,param=s
The weather can be predicted only closer to the rally (!), but in general it's better to prepare warm layers of clothing. Even if it'd be only like -3 celcius that's normally nothing, if you stand still in the forest for hours, you start to get cold.
Last year the experience with the marshals was more negative than positive. They appeared to be quite strict on which is allowed place to spectate and which is not, even if the safety matters were concerned. Maybe it was just because it was first WRC event in the region and many first timers in marshals. But if you act nicely to them, they will reply nicely. Almost every time :-)
Some of the access roads on the map must be unaccessable if not cleared from the snow all winter. So I would either plan the spectating points near official parking or do own recce on the available access roads.
There are not that many jumps or even hills in Rally Sweden route now, but personally I like night stages in the winter with cars approaching uphill so the headlights point towards the tree tops before the car appears. It can make nice photos if it's snowing or someone's having a fire with smoke around.
At least its another Rally1 car to watch...
Finally, a GR Yaris without factory livery..

Well, it wasn't GR Yaris but still Yaris..
Latvala, Grönholm(okay, it was quite same) and Lappi have had different liveries..
I'm kinda bummed. Why wouldn't he take his money to M-Sport who needs it more than Toyota?
Also, it will be another less onboard camera for WRC2 crews but it's the same with Serderidis etc.
