But I dont's think it's necessary with cameras in every corner. Like on the sprint today, 3-4 cameras is sufficient on a stage in my opinion, it doesn't matter if it's 7 km or 40 km. It's exciting...

I saw that there is a facebook-fanpage started for Colins Crest. Perhaps a good place to find advice regarding the Vargåsen stage. Not a lot of pictures/info yet though.

A couple of suggestions from "my forests".

Vargåsen - Actually, I think the whole part between Sätterbäcken (Älgtjärn) and Ransbysätter is full of nice places, but a couple of favourites are the...

Of course less drivers have had top cars at least between 2006-2011, but still, in the eight years Loeb have won, a Citroen has never been in 2nd, so no second driver (Sainz, Duval, Pons, Sordo,...

Picture from the Vargåsen stage, alongside lake Jangen, taken today, there is a thick layer of ice on most parts of the stage, but not more than 5 cm snow. 2888

I checked the 2007 Swedish rally entry list now, and it was better than I remembered.

But it is a great entry list for this year anyhow, with many fast "new" guys in wrc-cars (Tänak, Neuville,...

Henning and Wilson have entered, 20 wrc, 15 s2000, I think it's the best start list since 2003 or something

You're wrong, at least at Vargåsen. Last year the conditions were as you describe, but this year we have A LOT of ice. But is was more "wintry" last year, the snow has melted quite a lot the last...

Yes, Vargåsen, first stage on friday morning is exactly the same since 2007.

Times 2010: 1st run - Mikko Hirvonen 13.18,4
2nd run - Jari-Matti Latvala 13.06,4

Times 2008: 1st...

-Vargasen: We will avoid to go to Colin´s Crest. Anybody know some good spot in the stage, near the road access. It´s interesting the access 4A, by Ransbysätter??

Ransbysätter is good I would say....

40 km west of Hagfors, close to Vargåsen stage.

Snow conditions perfect, 40-50 cm of snow, nice snowbanks

The weather at the moment +3 degrees and rain (after a real snowstorm last night). But...

Richard Tuthill in a Porsche is a nice surprise as well.

I remember this too, and I was surprised that almost everyone at the top in these statistics were "new" drivers, (Atkinson, Duval, Grönholm (ok not that new perhaps), Hirvonen I think), and the...

We have had the coldest winter in 25 years here. It has not been above zero since early december. Since ice only is created on the roads when snow melts, we dont have much ice. But this problem could...

The road from Sågfallet will probably not be plowed since there will be no spectator area or officials there, but I can check this closer to the rally. But it is only 3,0 km from the Sätterbäcken...

There are more jumps on the Vargåsen stage before the cars reach Colin's Crest, along the Älgtjärn and Jangen lakes.

And there are three jumps in a row in the middle of the Fredriksberg stage.
...

Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet says Ken Block will drive "chosen stages" of Rally Sweden. Does anyone know more about this? Will he appear at the super special stage in Karlstad perhaps?

Hehe

Well you should be right there, but the Vargåsen stage, run at 15:40 in 2006-2008 has been run with extra lights in the dusk, I've been there every year and the later starters have been...

At 16:30 it will be almost dark, especially if it's cloudy.

Yes it will be run thursday-sunday

Actually, frozen sandwiches aren't that bad, I always bring coffee (or glühwein) and sandwiches, works fine, of course cola will freeze if the temperature is below zero, in my opinion, it's to cold...

There is no risk for the rally, the situation today is that we have snow, ice and frozen gravel, and the wheather forecast talks of no temperatures above +4 degrees. The rally is on, of course the...

Take it easy, the snow will come, it always does...

Ferrari has been using red for even longer...

There will be no sprint in Hagfors 2008.
