Do we know which bit of Finnskogen has been cut? Was my favourite stage to be at last year.

A bit hard to tell exactly what roads they are using from that map, but it says it's in revers and some of that in the bottom i think is more tricky and narrow than last year, the straight piece going up to the last right junction could be the access road to the middle of the stage used last year going alongside the stage, if so that could be quite nice.

20 sec is from that middle section.

Rally Sweden organizer having difficulties getting it all together since the rally has to be 2 1/2 days, they wanted to run 4 days.
Running on dispensations since the SS Km only is 21 % not the 25% as it should be.

So will all rallies be in this format next year then?
I big shame as it restricts the organizers too much, Finland this year was sooo good!

I think it's a waste of the spectators time, why not run a full sunday?

WRC events are far too restrictive. Let them run 4 days. What's the problem? Run 2 days, why not?

Hello, I think I am going to Rally Sweden this year for the first time.

There are some questions that I didn't found answer;

One is the aproximate cost (€ or SEK) for parking at the stages.
And then, is there so much queeing for parking and walk to the stage? How much far from the stage could I park my car?

Thanks in advance for your answers.

As from my 2008 experience it depends on is there field parking or just road side parking. I don't rember now was it shown in Rally Magazine or not (like it was in NORF) Another tip - forget about small access roads wich are not shown in "official map", they will not be cleaned.

How long are the stage roads closed after the last car is thru? Is it reasonable to expect to be able to view more than one stage in a day? For instance, I would like to see a stage and also watch the work in the service park. Is that possible?

You can see more than one stage a day for sure. I don't know how long the roads of stages remain closed, but it's not important. All stages have several acces-roads where you can park and go and watch the stage. It's possible to see more than one stage per day for sure. For example on friday you can go to the first stage, watch only WRC cars, go to the last stage of the loop (Kirkenaer), watch the whole field, watch the second pass of the stage (only WRC) and then go to Torsby 2 of the day for all cars. Since all drivers have to do the superstage in Karlstad, there is plenty of time to go to service when coming from SS Torsby 2. On saturday it's a bit more difficult to see 4 stages, but for sure not impossible. Traffic in Sweden isn't slow at all, thanks to proper winter tyres.
