Anyone any Info on current conditions on stages. Have been reading on other sites that karlstad has no snow and very little on stages.??? Was rally held out of torsby last week and stages cut up to gravel after few cars supposedly.

Nah I say it's looking promising, at least in the stages.Quote:

On weather sites, search for "Torsby", or "Hagfors". Its below freezing temperatures and expecting nothing less the following two weeks, with snow some of the days. Looking good so far!
That's what was confusing. Weather sites all looked good. Page on Facebook said otherwiseQuote:

Use gismeteo.ru or yr.no to get the best intell...although since it is so far away, they can`t predict it also....
There are two sides of the coin.
1) Snow conditions regarding snowbanks, doesn´t mean
2) Icy bottom on stages.
Hopefully there´s both. But if it was gravel last Saturday in Torsby and we get cold below zero up to date of RS, there still be gravel but maybe big snowbanks.
If unlucky we´ll have neither...

This one reckons small blizzard for Karlstad. (Sunday/ Monday) then warming up later in the extended forecast.

Then again, with the exception of the Super Special, the weather in Karlstad are quite irrelevant for the actual rally.Quote:

If the forecast for the 3rd, 4th and 5th of February is the same when we enter February, it is time to get a bit unhappy.
Though, a day with rain, and then freezing temperatures will just be nice in terms of a bit of solid ice.
Have entries now closed? No changes to the entry list online for some time..
They`ve been closed for some time now yes, since 15.01.
Yes entry list is now approved by the FIA ;Quote:

If raining it´s important to have all stages plowed and packed snow before rain comes.Quote:

use these sites instead: https://www.smhi.se/vadret/vadret-i-...,tab=0,chart=1 https://www.yr.no/sted/Sverige/V%C3%...idsvarsel.html The expected winds are light to moderate so I wouldn't call it a blizzard. Also no rain expected for Torsby during the next 10 days according to current forcastes.Quote:

Is there anyone near the area that can drive and record the rammen stage? Or anyone that have a video from there?
Anyone trying to see 2 stges in the saturday morning loop?
Thanks very much everyone.

Why just one car i 2Pro from Citroen. They need data on loose from more than Mads to develop.
Citroën is not so much interested in WRC2 Pro...Quote:

Route preview. Not much to write about in terms of changed itinerary, but I tried to analyze the stages in greater depth through onboards. The ones I would like to highlight are Hof-Finnskog being almost completely sixth gear stuff between numerous junctions and Vargåsen, with a very technical road before Colin's Crest.
I guess one problem holding back WRC2 Pro, is that bar VW and Skoda, the other manufacturers with competitive cars already promote their brand in the main WRC class. Back in the peak IRC days for Skoda, Peugeot, Fiat, Proton S2000 was their top product.Quote:

Going from Rämmen to Vargåsen the shortest route after WRC will probably work but not sure i would recommend it.
For a first time Rally Sweden visitor, does anyone have any advice about how to stay warm, please?
It may sound daft, but standing for many hours in a frozen forest seems a bit challenging!
Alcohol. And bonfire. And more alcohol.Quote:

In case of extreme cold, take some logs with you and make a fire.
@Tomhlord: Ski wear, Woolen underwear both top and legs under your ski wear, water proof boots (I use the SOREL winterboots), Bring wood, knife and axe for fire, Jagermeister/beer and remember water, Coffee/tea you can cook over the fire, Find places in the sun if it is sunny, Use grane tree leaves/sticks to stand on. Have a great time :-)Quote:

I have been until now 14 times in Rally Sweden and NEVER had any problems with the cold wearing standard ski outfit (underwear and ski wear) and good winter trekking boots suitable for -30 degrees and more. Maybe cap and gloves to change if they get wet. If it is a really cold year just put one or two tshirts more on and thats it.
No need for fires, coffee, soups, alcohol, knives or axes or whatever. How do you bring all this stuff to the stage? :)
I prefer to stay flexible and change my location during the day on the stage - then there is absolutely no need to build half a campsite.
Hi Per on WRC+ you can see onboards from the 2016 version , I know its the opposite direction and not exactly the same but at the minute its better than nothing and gives a bit of an idea of the road, if anyone gets the password for the stage videos I would appreciate a pm as well.Quote:

I have my thoughts of where to stay, but the more I get it confirmed the better… and from correct direction.
But thanks anyway, mate.
I have been in Rally Sweden four times and those have helped me a lot: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Hands-Singl.../dp/B00GUH39YQQuote:
