Yes I remember that from in Belgium, where everyone wants to see every day as much as possible stages. ;-)

As I have been in Sweden quite several times, you should understand that this rally is very popular and traffic jams are inevitable. Especially Vargasen, Sagen, Finnskogen are very popular. 4 stages in a day is achievable though, but good planning is needed. Also access roads are slippery and icy, so for a guy from Belgium it's very slippery ;) Couple years ago guys from Netherlands went off to a ditch just in front of us and because we stopped and helped them back on the road, we missed one stage. But it was worth it. So make your plans not too tight and drive carefully :)

:D :D

Except me, I prefer to watch all the drivers in their cars. :)

Thanks for the replies, I'd rather not disappear after the top 15 cars and miss the S2000s and other WRC crews, so 3/4 stages a day would be too much of a push with the likely heavy traffic. Plus some of the locations we've planned on involve a fair bit of walking!

I know bluuford is very busy with detail progoses for erc latvia, but what about sweden??

till i saw the picture of pino, i had no worries that it will be a proper snow rally, but it looks like it can be (at least a mixed surface race) :(

please bluuford, if you have time left, would you check your predictions for next week arround hagfors? THX!!

Do not worry, Southern Sweden has one of the most extreme temperature gradients. The fact that there is not much snow in small down 20 km south from Hagfors does not show much. According to the data that is available right now I can see that the rally will be held in near perfect conditions.. well, some Minttu and very warm clothes are also useful (For -20 degrees).
