    Good news is that RS 2017 brings new stages.

    Bad news, nowhere to stay overnight for spectators.

    What distance is to far away?
    From Torsby its shorter to Elverum and kongsvinger in Norway, than to Karlstad.
    Lots of accomodation possibilities in the whole area called finnskogen.

    Men frågan är om det är i Norge, och folk ska vara där att titta på Svenska rattyt, varför heter det Finn skogen?
    Vilken språk borde man vara bered att snacka?
    Vad ska man dricka?
    Vilken flagg ska man vifta?

    Hehe, finlandssvorsk kanskje
    Republikken finnskogen har eget flagg! Hembrendt er "nasjonaldrikke"!

    In english: language is really not easy to explain, but in finland some in western part talk "finnswedish", and when swedes tries to speak Norwegian it called "svorsk" , like "swinglish" when swedes tries to speak english.

    Finnskogen has its own "republic", once a year, the Center is svullrya, a wellknown place for rallyfans. It also has its own flag those days
    Moneshine is what to drink, food is something called "motti og flæsk", some kind of boiled dry rye porrige with lots of bacon, good with a beer!

    It is now 100% certain and thus confirmed that Torsby airport will be the new service area and rally base for 2017.

    However, RallyHQ, opening ceremony and superspecial will still be in Karlstad.

    IMO I wish that they had dumped the super special on the horse race track in Karlstad.

    Got an incredible cheap and good house by Grässjön lake 17km south of Torsby through Airbnb.
    Anyone got any clue of how far north they will go?

    Some info about accommodation for rally supporters. The organisers are doing what they can to find private owned accommodation (rooms, private cabins and etc) since
    all hotels have been booked for teams and etc. http://www.vf.se/nyheter/torsby/priv...m-infor-rallyt

    I think the new stage in Norway runs something like this, haven't figured out when it ran last. What about Knon in Sweden?
