I think to remember it´s getting dark around 16:00h. The Hagfors Sprint is usualy in the darknes, latest at 17:00 it will be dark.
According to this website, which calculates when the suns goes up and down, the sun will set at 16.50 in Hagfors.

This means it will only be dark for the sprint on Friday and Saturday.
The sprint has used to be in the dark. That's a part of the stage's spirit :)
At 16:30 it will be almost dark, especially if it's cloudy.
if there's clouds sure but not if its clear.Quote:

So 16:30 should make it almost dark for most of the drivers.... of course one thing that addes to this illusion can be that the strong extra lights makes the surroundings around the cars appear darker,, anyway, these stages will be considered dark stages I'm sure
Pirelli made some new control tyres for Rally Sweden and Rally Norway...
