That's a really good point. All this chat is from a driver point of view. For spectators, it's just extra drama. You'll get your feet snowy, I promise!

Yes and if they can drive, they can drive in this conditions too, guys used to drive on snow sure dont get much help from the snow banks, its likely that they are soft powder as well, it makes it all very interesting.

This will be a tyre preserving competition !

Kind of yes, but almost every rally is to some point.

Yep, I totally agree. If they can't drive on all surfaces, they're in the wrong business - aren't they? Then of course they may think it's more or less pleasure - but damn, regarding the works drivers it's their _job_.

I'm a little bit more understanding to the guys doing the Swedish Championship, private guys with really small budgets often coming straight from their own pockets. But that's another story...

Exactly, because its more difficult now

Marcus and Timo are back !!

Marcus looks to have aged a little! no? A podium would be great for Marcus.

I dunno if this has been posted before, but you can follow the rally live with Ramona Karlsson. http://www.ice.net/se/rally/Default.aspx
This should be streamed live. Ramona is doing the Swedish championship, so you can follow her during Friday and Saturday. Looks like they might have a camera at colin's crest also for the Saturday.

Dont worry Friend, i live as close to the swedish rally as the norwegian rally so it dosent matter for me.. I also read Norwegian newspapers daily so i know about the situation.. I myself think that we should at least switch every year between us.

I have been to all Swedish rally since 98, and to all 3 Rally Norway. If there is only one snow event per year i absolutely think it should be in Sweden.. Nicer prices, nicer peolpe,much better for spectators, Swedish rally has "soul", where i think rally Norway has not. Best if wee could have 2 snow rallies, but since we have not, Sweden is the best! Maybe Norway could host a snow IRC event??
