There are not a lot of public areas. Take a look at the map. The photo was taken on the slope at "P Bus".Quote:

I have been observing their weather in recent weeks and it actually looks quite good. Sever minus degrees mixed with plus degrees are expected in next two weeks. Should be good conditions for ice to form. If it will not turn worse, then I expect thick ice layer, maybe less snow than usual but ice on the surface is the most important thing. If there are no plus degrees during the rally, then everything is OK.Quote:

And what a car that was compared to the Audi quattros. A few years later or maybe 86 Stig B and Kalle Grundel did a failing try to drive Sierra 4WD Sweden built. However gearstick failed on 1st stage for Kalle and if I remember correct even for Stig later on. Bad welding that was.
Thanks Bluuford once again. Who's happy with the thick ice layer? The firsts or the last in the order?Quote:

Looks promising if the cold weather is back after the weekend.

Some cm of fresh snow and it would be perfect.
Forecasts predict cold weather for a few days next week then back to warmer weather with risk of rain Friday-Sunday with wind strengths above 10m/s.Quote:

Warm weather with rain in combination with strong winds are generally the worst possible scenario.
Not that much snow?

Anyone able to film the shakedown some day?
Here's how the stage looks in summer at least.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OOdVp2msO-I
Flipping heck, that looks bare.
Just sorted out my trip for a couple of the days, hope it's a bit white than that!
Karlstad weather looks fairly balmy for the next week too :(
For sure Karlstad SSS will be gravel stage. Let´s hope in the forests it will be better.
forecasts says that there might be some snowfall next week so we'll see.
Cutting it fine on weather this year. Did I read there could be some decent snowfall on the Thursday of the rally?
On a side note - really detest what the Rally Sweden organisers have done to Colin's Crest - putting a VIP tent all the way down one side. Not a great place to spectate in my opinion.
Looks really bad, what a pitty.
Forecasts says possible allot of rain/snow on this Sunday-Tueday then subzero temperatures from Wednesday nextQuote:

All those years of class-struggle to build a just and fair society.....and no snow....
Fie men fan... (skakar huv'ut)
Sorry, a VIP tent is a spot allowed only for vips? Common people could not reach it?
Are there such spots in the WRC???
I hope I've misunderstood the meaning of this "vip tent". Is ok if VIPs go in helicopter from stage to stage because they don't want to get their 1000 dolars shoes dirty, or because they don't want to walk for kms (what a pity for them, reaching a stage after spitting blood is a priceless feeling), but it can't be allowed in any of the multiple universes that they could stand in a tent where other people can't enter. Dear god, what's wrong with umanity?
There is quite an amount of precipitation forecasted. If this is really rain and not snow the stages could be in a very bad shape already before recce! Lets hope there is no Problem in running the Event. Reminds of the ERC Liepaja Situation.Quote:

The VIP place was already last year at Colins Crest, opposite of the specator area and the place has not lost any of his Special Spirit.
At probably every WRC Events VIP places like that exists. Nothing to worry.
man, the pictures from the stages and the weather forecast doesnt look good at all :(

The fact every place has it, doesn't mean it's not stupid.Quote:

Yeah it was there last year too for the first time. All the best pictures of that jump are taken from that side - and now you need to pay extra to stand in there. Sure lots of places have VIP areas but usually those areas are much larger. Here they take basically 50% of the choice away when you get to the arena. There are lots of people stood in that bowl area to driver's left over the jump. Nice atmosphere but they aren't really seeing very much except the back of people's heads.Quote:
