Very early on the way to Fredriksberg. Great videos as usual Tor, and thanks again for all your help.

You didn't pick up the tricks of the locals? As someone called it during the rally in this thread, internal heating or sth like that.

I was there to take pictures, being blind drunk like the locals wouldn't have helped ;)

The highlight of the event for me was the Fredriksberg stage on Saturday. The section of stage is a 2km straight with 5 jumps, the last being the biggest which the top crews take at around 180kph. Last year the biggest jump was 48m...

I would like to thank all the Forum members for the help they gave me in identifying some of the locations (particularly SubaruNorway and Kielder amongst others), it certainly made our weekend much easier. Also great to meet J4MIE, Brother John and Pino.

Nice to see my friend's video already linked on here. We had a great event, seen 11 stages, all were great places. Perhaps the most spectacular event I've ever seen... Also the organisation of the event was great, everyone was very friendly etc. :) My photos are to be online this afternoon/evening.
