Rally Sweden 2013

Possible on to see 4 stages on each friday, saturday and sunday... If you watch only a limited number of cars and on places with good access ;) I must say I think on friday from Lesjofors to Vargasen and on sunday from Finnskogen 2 to Torsby will be quite tense in shedule...

Unfortunately watching a limited number of cars means you have to stay at a stage for at least 30min anyway to get the best drivers in WRC with the qualification now. Think Latvala was 17th on the road last year, 17 cars with 2 min gaps. Won't be far off that this year too i guess. Staying 30min at Finnskogen 2 and then Torsby would give you too little time, 15 min if you are lucky going into SP1 at Torsby from stage end area of Finnskogen....

Rv201 til Ukjent vei - Google Maps - How about this? From start of Finnskogen to the end of Torsby... Gives you a few extra minutes compared to going from finish of one stage to the start of another. And it should be a shorter drive (saving some 5 to 10 minutes) between the stages I think. :)

(You can hit me with a PM if you don't want to shout it out loud.)

Also, the shortening of Sågen stage by 450 metres, does it mean the famous hairpin at the end is not run?

I believe it is shakedown next to the hagfors service park

Hi guys, do you know if any change on the timing system respect the Monte will be taken??

Its shorter, but it depends on you managing to park the car close to the start of the Finnskogen stage. I think they will be very strict regarding parking on road 201, possibly it will not be allowed at all.

Can't remember any sections like that in Shakedown, looks more like the start of Finnskogen. 57 sec is for sure as i remember seeing the marks in the snowbank when walking out of the stage.
