As from my one time experience in Sweden WRC without previous recce you can rely on official access roads only.

Will the stages be ploughed?

The new section has a lot of corners in the first part before the hairpin right, after that it becomes really fast. They also put up a lot of "forbidden area" signs in that section.

It´s a showtime in @RallySweden 2morrow! The tactic is familiar: win is our target and we will start the rally at our own pace and after a couple of special stages we´ll see whether the pace needs to be tightened. #WRC2 #RallySweden http://www.jarihuttunenracing.fi/?page_id=158
We have 28 cars, where 27 are R5s, and 4 Mirages that are R5 (NonHom)

Many top pairs are on the startline.
Tidemand, Veiby, Huttunen, Abbring and Åhlin are maybe those on paper that springs to mind.
But many interesting outsiders: Adielsson, very good R2 driver, maybe this will be 4wd breakthrough?
Johann Kristofferson, multitalented driver ala Ekstrøm.
Nikara, fast as a blitz, but some times too fast...
Scandola is fast, but on Asfalt. Not sure on the white stuff
Fellow italian Tamara Molinaro are there to learn.
Will the Mirages be able to match the other R5s, or way off?
Will some of the RC2 cars take overall points this time?
I hope the RC2 cars for once get their deserved focus by wrc live, and other media!!

I checked the road from the west close to the finish of Svullrua today, gate was not locked but there was 15cm of snow so i didn't bother driving more than 800m.
The stages have been made wider since 2 weeks ago and the top of the snowbanks have been pushed out a bit especially on Röjden so it's easier to get out of the road and you can see a bit more.
