Or move...etc etc etc. Enough with the whining now, tomorrow will be better.

Unlike Wales' fog, which is a weather related obstacle in the event, or Mexico's reduced power, which is inherent of the rally, Sweden needs snow to actually happen.

Mooooorning guyyys! the stage sill start in 8 minutes.

Mikkelsen with 2 spares, all the others with one

Both yes and no. However ice and snow in Värmland is no problem. It´s all about timing...

Oohhh. And good morning my friends. An exciting day ahead. Today I´m home some 300K from the rally but early tomorrow morning we leave for Rämmen stage. Now, let´s take on this Friday of stunning Rally Sweden!!

Going to be a very interesting morning I'm sure. Strap yourself in boys and girls!!!

Looks that road condition with some good ice layer, without snow

Neuville +1.2 in spl 1

Ice looking a bit soft. Haven´t checked, was it minus degrees in the area during night?

At least looks like no fresh snow on the road. Maybe it will be good for the first runners? Will we see a new average speed record? Previous is 126 km/h from 2017 by Neuville

looooking so slippery from Otts onboard
