2013. will be my 3rd time visiting rally Sweden and I have to say that itinerary isn't really friendly for spectators. Actually I'm a bit disappointed because every year the same stages with some small changes. Not much places to choose from. For example Sagen stage is really great, but you can reach it only from start or finish. 2 years ago we tried to drive the small road which leads to the middle of the Sagen stage, but when it was about 10 km to go the road just ended as the snow wasn't removed from the road.
Anyway it's specific only for winter rallies and I still can't wait to go there and will always appreciate information about the great spots from local rally fans.
Yeah I agree, and also stages are almost always in the same order.Quote:

I also definitely think that they need one more stage per loop for Friday and Saturday so that there is at least one full "dark" stage.
There were talks this year having the rally more down in Dalarna picking up some old stages from the 90´s, but then nothing happened. I agree fully, the stages of RS isn´t exciting anymore. (Except for Colin´s crest - and being there just walk about one k against start and there are som very good bends and jumps)

Previously the military had owned their own land and sports activity on it have not been a problem.
However now Fortv. have taken over all land owned by the millitray and they decided that no sportsactivity
was allowed on their land anymore.
I know Rally Organizers wanted to have a sprint rally during the cross-country skiing week in Falun. However Fortv. said no.

Bad thing about having the Norwegian stages on sunday is that it sucks a bit going all the way back to Norway for us Norwegians then back into Sweden to get the powerstage or Podium. Wasn't a very easy day to figure out what stages to do either...
No, I don´t think so. Two different cases. Local newspapers did believe that some new stages (from 90´s) would come out of new agreements with municipalitys in Dalarna.Quote:

Last day two years ago by the way, everything was setled and nothing really happened, only minus 26 degrees I recall.Quote:

My inboard collection if someone needs it :)
Figure out what's what yourself, too much to write.

The organizers in Norway loose at lot of income.
I am quite sure that on 2013-sunday stages in Norway it will not be many swedish flags.
