Even in 2008 there was half a meter deep ruts in places where they had cut the corners

Just for the record - lack of snow has forced event's cancellation only once - in 1990. So if it happens now, it's a very rare occasion.
Couple a days ago i saw pics from some stages where the conditions were quite good, i hope they just cancel the stages where conditions arent good.
No frozen roads means that that the first few cars might make it through ok but
for the rest of the cars there won't be any roads left to drive on..
I wrote a short explanation yesterday http://www.motorsportforums.com/showthread.php?35901-Rally-Sweden-2016&p=1080127&viewfull=1#post1080127
You could probably get 5-10 cars through but we're talking about 100 cars going through the stage twice so I am sure you understand
that the roads would be completely destroyed long before all of the cars have had their run on the stage.
It would also be a very big risk that cars (especially those who starts pretty far back in the start order) would get stuck in the middle of the road.
Reconnaissance start today or tomorrow?
Planned for Tuesday and Wednesday. We will see.
Should hold Sweden around South Swedish Rally Time.
