Any update on road surface / snow condition as yet from locals?
Likelihood of conditions to be for the rally?

No too much snow right now. Between 10-20 cm. But it is very cold right now (around -20 in next few days). warmer weather, rain and snow is expected at the end of January.

This weekend it was running the local competition Finnskogsvalsen that went around the forests of Torsby.
Not much snow but ice on the road and really frosen roads.
Photos available on ...::: Rallyfoto.se :::.... Select "Visited Contests" and then "Finnskogsvalsen 130119"
Hope it will get a little more snow so it will be properly snowbanks before the competition begins.

Does not look like it at the moment. Cold and subzero temperatures for another week but then a change
to warmer weather with temperatures above zero and possible even some rain.

omg, unbelievable the number of 940 and 960!!! didn't know you could do rally with them!
my parent used to owe one (they know have an xc70 thank god) and i didn't want them to drop me at school because i was so ashamed! if i knew it was such a good base for rally car, i would have begged them not to sell it! although it was a diesel, so might not be so good!
thanks for sharing the pics anyway! what a nice country sweden...

They are very popular. Cheap to buy(?), plenty of cheap parts, reliable, strong-built, good engines , rwd (=plenty of fun).

There are even a championship for Volvo cars: VOC Mekonomen Rally
