Is Hyundai running 3 new generation I20's from the beginning of the season? If so, only model missing is old I20.Quote:

Mixed reports stating that Paddon will have the new i20 WRC in Monte... but other reports say it'll be in Sweden!
Now, I hope Gorban brings the MINI WRC to MEXICO please! :D
Better stop hoping then, it will make you less disappointed when the entry list comes out.
Hyundai themselves said Paddon would have the old car on the Monte.Quote:

Forecast looks also very good for now.
Yes, he will.Quote:

If you tick off Ortsnamn, you will get names of places, so it a bit easier to orient the map.
Not much snow, but could change fast.
Today the entries Close for Rally Sweden 2016.
A pity that the list of received entries on the Website is not as accurate as in the last years. We have to wait for more updates as there was no changes since quite some days now.

New shakedown needed for Rally Sweden. Looks like organisers forgot to ask first before announcing the new shakedown near Karlstad.

I've been checking this daily and it's not been updated particularly well. Hoping for a nice entrylist when it does arrive with a WRC surprise or two. Hanninen maybe? I guess it's got to the point where even Henning would be a surprise - but that's more a case of if he makes the start.Quote:

Did someone tell Østberg there's no midday service...? ;) (Ref, Finland)
Hopefully they will change back, next year because this kind of drew the joy out of going there a bit with all the strange changes.
What has changed from specator point of view with really importance? Nothing - moving from Hagfors to Karlstad was long overdue.Quote:

A bit crazy going 3 days with no midday service, hopefully we won't loose too many cars.Quote:

It is always nice going to the end of day service to get the interviews and meet some friends and see the drivers. I don't think many of the ones who actually follow the rally will bother to go all the way down to Karlstad for that. Sweden is not an event that lacks in number of spectators so i don't see why Hagfors is a problem.
And now the drivers have to do the long road section in the middle of the night in rally cars instead of comfy cars or busses as well.
Yes, but also those lots and lots of people who always had their accomodation in Karlstad, as there was way too less hotels around Hagfors are happy of driving just 10 minutes instead of 50 minutes to old shakedown. So its just a matter of perspective.Quote:

Rally Sweden has no spectator problem, but it never can be a bad thing to offer the possibilty to have more and more people able to come and see the service etc. in a bigger city like Karlstad.
Sweden entries.No Kruuda

It is not final yet...Quote:

Now it's up to 54 entries and we have now H.Solberg with a Fiesta WRC in the list. But what's even better, there's a name of Emil Bergkvist with a DS3 R5!
And Anders Grøndal has swapped his DS3, for a new Fiesta Evo.
As far as I have understood, he has not been happy with the handeling of the DS3 on gravel/snow.
Will be interesting to follow him in a new brand.
Liking those late additions. I guess we'll see how many of them make the actual start of the rally now.
So the probably final statistis, very nice:
16 x WRC
26 x R5
3 x S2000
3 x N4
1 x R3
4 x R2
1 x R1
54 entries = +28% to the average entries (42) of the last three years.
And 48 entries for historic competition.
Very top heavy list too, really shows the strength of the RC1 and 2 competition with the current number of R5s. I'll be surprised of there are many stronger RC2 classes in WRC events this year.
maybe Portugal.Quote:

The driver we know. The Question is how about the team around when it comes to Rally Sweden?
100+ entries for Rally Sweden 2016:
When registration for Historic closed at midnight, the number of entries landed at 48. This, coupled with the entries to the WRC increasing to 55 meant that the total number of entries for Rally Sweden in 2016 ended up at over 100.

While I understand they want to present the event in as good light as possible the title simply isn't true. There are 55 crews who entered Rally Sweden. The others who entered different separate classifications are not competitors of Rally Sweden.
Shakedown will be held at Alster stage which have been used before.Quote:

There it says that the Stage around Alster can not be run.
The plan for this stage was also in Rally Guide 1
According to motor.blogg.kristianstadsbladet.se old shakedown stage Rada is a backup solution:
We have with it as a backup plan, in case the weather would be against us. Otherwise, we'll find a solution in Karlstad, says Magnusson VF.

If you want to be more than correct: 55 Crews entered WRC Rally Sweden 2016 and 48 Teams Rally Sweden Historic 2016, which both firm together the event Rally Sweden 2016 per definition and marketing from the organiser.Quote:

Of course You might find my point as nothing but grumbling but I just don't like using misleading titles for marketing purposes.
Good afternnon,
I'm a new member. I'm from Portugal and this year i will see rally Sweden and i have some doubts like what is recommended transport to fans between stages and karlstad city. Maybe i get help here...
Best regards
