Has the stages ever been used in local or national rallies before that we can find some videos to point to some viewing locations ?

How has parking been arranged there in previous years, a road park? Or plowed fields?
It looks like there aren’t many small roads going along the special stages.

Thank you for the information. Let's hope the rally magazine tells more. Alkais jo...
Are there any locals in this forum? I would have asked if anyone has been on the rally stages already? What are the conditions of the stages and is there any opportunity to use unofficial roads to the stages or is there too much snow?
(JOs foorumilla suomalaisia niin spekulointia voidaan harrastaa yvllä)
Perä tielle!

Big uncertainty about weather in the current situation.
Plus degrees next few days, cold period beginning of next week folloowed by plus degrees over the rally...
Not more than around 10 -20 cm of snow in the area as well.
For Umeå conditions are perfect...
Still no "spectator recce" onboards from the stages?
does anyone know is the organization going to publish individual SS maps?
or a map with even official parking spaces?:D
It has been announced that Rally Live who does the live radio coverage from the Swedish Championship will do the Swedish rally radio from Rally Sweden.
It will be available for free at www.sbfplay.se or locally via Pop and Rock FM radio on these frequencies: Umeå 102,3 MHZ, Vännäs 103.0 MHz, Lycksele 101.1 MHz, Örnsköldsvik 89,8 och 87.60 Mhz
From what I've read there will be offical parking maps and also official snow mobile parking maps.Quote:

Will be a chaos if not with the low amount of entry roads

Bertelli won't drive in Sweden.
Milan Fashion week starts at the same time and man has got some work to do and money to make(for more wrc rounds hopefully :) )

They noticed only now these two events are clashing? Or maybe mom didn't allow him to drive.Quote:

I believe the only jump will be on the spectator area at the end of the Umeå stage.
i cant believe im seeing a post from Antti saying stages are boring : D
so compared to Varmland and Arctic, we can expect stages to be more straight and faster? How about the size of the road, as tight as Arctic or more open?Quote:

The road width varies from wide to narrow, just like in Arctic and Värmland and Jyväskylä. Pace-wise there's a big contrast between the fast roads and the slow roads, barely anything in between (this is also similar to some stages of Rally Estonia). However, while Arctic has almost no houses among the route, the Umeå route has actually quite a few houseyard passings or small villages along the stages. Some sections are similar to Värmland, like most of Örträsk, middle part of Långed, some parts of power stage. And the spectator area of Umeå is very similar to what they had in Torsby.Quote:

But hopefully it's easier to find something once there on my own.
With restrictions removed in Sweden is access to service area allowed again in the WRC?

Some brief info in this video (in Swedish): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2rzfXyt1GU8 regarding parking (larger parking places with shuttle buses)*
and also info regarding snow mobiles. * no details regarding stage parking more parking will be available.
Has anyone bought a rally magazine? Are parking areas marked on it? I mean, see if it's a road park or a field park.
its seems like that the organization is releasing only a shakedown map which showing the parking spaces...:D
https://rallysweden.com/en/stage/shakedown-klabbole/
On the other maps theres no mention of parking spaces ... yet
https://rallysweden.com/en/the-race/
If you click on a stage name, the map opens. There are no coordinates or explanations, but the spectator areas are marked.
yeah, i see that. But it’s still quite odd that in the shakedown map, the parking areas are properly marked but not on the other maps.
Then who is going to pay 10 euros for the rally magazine?
Funny thing if you choose Swedish or English as the language of the pages then you will get a little bit different map of shakedown. The route is the same...
SS9/13 Already cancelled..
reason: reindeer herds.
https://dirtfish.com/rally/wrc/rally...e-of-reindeer/
I thought first it’s already 1st April…
Probably the best stage of the rally is gone
This rally is dying a slow death. Just put it out of its misery and move on.
You move here despite vastly inferior roads, with the expectation we will at least not have to worry about what stages might/ might not be cancelled in the lead up to the rally. And now, we still lose stages. Possible the best one.....
agreed, sorry Swedish guys but its time to move to elsewhere with the winter rally
its getting ridiculous...is it difficult to do it together with Norway or smth?
It will be the last time in Sweden. No doubt that Rovaniemi and Arctic Rally Finland is ready!
If only there was a bigger town near the new airport in Sweden between Sälen and Trysil, there's not much rally interest or clubs in Norway able to do it further north than that. Stages around Lima was as good as it gets last weekend.Quote:

However the reindeer owners will do everything they can to jidder the rally. Maybe not during, but after and especially making it will never happen in the area again.
Move it to Östersund, I´d say.
Agree. I´ve done Östersund Winter Rally four times, great roads and always perfect conditions. We did meet a deer on a stage though :rolleyes:Quote:
