I've wanted to do it for years and this year I'm off work, so could have gone. I didn't commit to it in the end though because there's too much of a risk of a complete non-event. Just another problem for the Rally Sweden organisers, even if they do get some good cold/snowy years in future, increasingly how many foreign spectators (and their money) will they lose because people don't want to take the risk of financially committing to such a vulnerable event.

Unless they can move it north to ensure the weather the future of this WRC event looks really bleak. In its current location its another victim of climate change.

So we have an example of using gravel tyres in frozen condition with temp around 0C. So for warm Sweden with +5C...+10C it must be quite OK. I don't know how it will be from regulation side, but from promoter and spectator side it better run warm Rally Sweden with gravel tyres rather than cancel it all.

The roads would be utterly destroyed. It has been said here already. Same gravel based roads here have gone completely mudlike on these temps already. And that is under normal cars and normal speeds. Under rallying they would be completely gone and propably everyone would not even make it trough.
