I think that You might be wrong ;)

I very much hope so Mirek. As I say, it was old information. Seeing Andreas on MC would be a dream for me!

Don't know if this is known before, but details regarding the TV-coverage of WRC and Rally Sweden in Scandinavia is that Viasat Motor will broadcast during four days, including live coverage of Karlstad Super Special Stage and the finishing Värmullsåsen stage (a ski slope!).

The WRC deal is signed on three years for Viasat Motor, so finally Scandinavian people can work on a long term with sponsors and other stuff depending on the TV coverage :)

about rent a car tyres

Hello everybody.

This is my first sweden WRC and I´m a little lost.
We´ll arrive in Oslo, so I think in this country it´s forbidden the nails tyres. Only m+s ones.
These kind of tyres are sufficient for the access roads to the special stages?

Thanks.

Regards.

Sorry can't help you asturally, but...

Just in case people didn't notice in other threads, its almost certain that Andreas Mikkelsen will be in Sweden for the SWRC (or for testing) in the Fiesta S2000.

No problem. I think that some local forum user can help me.

This is a great notice. S2000 aren´t as spectacular as the WRC cars, but also Andreas start is very interesting.

Last year in Norway, we didn't have nail tyres also and that was no problem at all to drive there. So I dont think it will be a problem in Sweden :)

Are you flying to Gardermoen [OSL] ? Then you dont have any problem with studded tyres, its only in city center of Oslo they are forbidden.. (Gardermoen Airport its 50km north of Oslo )

I Recommend studded tyres , in snow non-studded its good but on ice studded its the best.

From my little experience (I've been once to rally Sweden and once to rally Norway). I think you better have studded tyres for Sweden because it is easier to find ice in little roads or even if your accomodation is outside of a village.
But if you rent the car in Norway make sure they will have a car with studded tyres before arriving because when I rent it in Lillehammer they simply didn't have. They told me that they only use studs for lorrys and buses.

Buen viaje!!!

Better for you guys who are not experienced drivers in snow to use studded tires, if you dont care much of your own safety, there is many others in the traffic that care of their.

There is no ban of studded tyres in Oslo either (I have it on my car) - but there is a small fee for using them inside Oslo borders, around 3 pounds/4 euros a day. If you go straight from the airport (Gardermoen) towards Sweden you don't have to think about it at all.

Otherwise, I agree with the above - on ice, studded are best, if there is snow covered roads (as it is now) non-studded should be OK if you are used to drive on snow. If not, be careful!

Are there some places in the stages with no-tree sections (not in forest but in open space)?
For example like Lillehammer stage in Rally Norway 2009 or icy lakes in past editions of Swedish Rally?
Thanks

The team manager of Mikkelsen have bought one of B Kongsruds Fabia WRC's, so some are speculating that Mikkel is coming to Sweden with that.

aobut Rally Pass

Sooy about my ignorance in SWE WRC.

I have a another question. Wednesday 10th febrary, we´ll arrive very late at the rally zone.
So, it´s necessary to have the Pass Rally to enter in the Shakedown Stage?

Many thanks in advance.

We are just starting to get exited about coming over for the rally and can somebody tell me when are the stage car parks likely to be on the official site?
I think if we get good conditions this could be the closest rally of 2010 and if Mikko is going to win the drivers title he has to win or at least finish ahead of Loeb.

Sorry, looks like bad info. Mikkelsen will come to sweden with a Fiesta S2000 as a testrun to compare the Fiesta and Fabia before deciding for a car to use in IRC for 2010.

Will be cool to see the Fiesta/Fabia fight on snow !
