No official decision has yet been made by the county administrative board. Decisions are expected to be made at the end of the week.

It's probably actually not such a bad corner if it's little more of a corner than it looks like with them coming in on the limiterQuote:

It would be a huge fail if it won't happen and next rally is almost 3 months away..
2. Arctic Rally Lapland?
One doesn't organize a WRC event on a few weeks notice. I'm still pretty sure Swedish round will run as planned. Even if this is a little crazy.Quote:

It would be totally ridiculous to cancel the rally on these reasons after going through all the trouble of moving the event, and likely Värmland has plenty of snow this year?
However, I wouldn't still want to add Arctic as a permanent WRC event because it would mean likely the end of Jyväskylä Rally Finland
As far as I read the situation regarding Rally Swedens local approval, it is more formal than practical.
As written before, this is mainly regarding the Sami population feeling they need some form of refund for driving on "their land" We have the same issues on our side of the border, but mainly further north.
The rally organizers and the Swedish municipality are now in agreement with reps from the sami population, and based on that the politicians need formally to vote and sign the deal.
This is late, but normally these things take time, and it will be ok soon.
