I have seen people drinking alcohol and then behaving in a deadly way. I have also taken care of and give people ride home who would otherwise probably be frozen to death. Are you going on the rally, so stay soberQuote:

Nice car! How fast or slow driver Tamara is?
You can check yourself: https://www.ewrc-results.com/profile...mara-molinaro/
She achieved some reasonable results with an R2 car. Last year with the R5 she didn't drive much and the results weren't really worth talking about.
The stage info is now available on the website
https://rallysweden.com/en/the-race/
Then just click what stage you want the info for.
Wow! That's a beautiful livery on Molinaro's car!
Alcohol expands blood vessels and it creates a deceptive sense of warmth. In fact in that way the body starts to cool.Quote:

watching rally(in stages) and alcohol is poor combination. It can be even dangerous. alllive at home and beer is ok.
Some live broadcasted rally sprint tomorrow, See details here: https://www.motorsportforums.com/sho...=1#post1207416
Some weather forecasts for day 1 of the Rally, still very early of course but with the temp around -2 to -10 degrees C in the week leading up to the rally, I say we are in for a good show.Attachment 1717

Today saw @janproracing collect their EcoBoost-powered Ford Fiesta WRC. We’re looking forward to seeing what Janne can do behind the wheel @RallySweden later this month! #WRC #FordPerformance https://t.co/sHNMe8EAUT
According to Jonas Kruse on SVT's rally broadcast today there are allot of snow in the Torsby area but the road conditions aren't that great though. There will be lots of snow and snowbanks but perhaps not that much ice on the roads.Quote:

From Thursday forecast is showing + degrees with small amounts of rain. Hopefully don't lose to much snow.

The latest forecasts looks dreadful for region. Starting from Thursday + degrees and rain.
yep it changed for worse, much worse
5+ days with plus degrees and rain
Would be nice with one day of a bit of rain, then minus 10 for a few days then 1 m snow, and stabile -5 c for some days for the new snow to get stabile!
There is too much time to look at the forecasts...
For instance, only yesterday (and the whole week before) i was promised by yr.no to get 6mm of rain from yesterday 18pm until now and + degrees. It is warm, but what wasn`t there, was the rain, got wet snow instead. And plus degrees should have laste until tomorrow 14pm, now they are predicting <0 degrees from 00.00 onwards.
Plus degrees and a bit rain, like i am seeing in yr.no should do good for the roads there, when it gets colder right after.
What’s the deal if most of the snow is lost? Will it still run?
I remember it got pretty bad (10 years - I think) ago, but can’t remember if they cancelled any or all of it.
We mostly need thick ice and not deteriorating roads, not snow, although there should be enough of it no to go away entirely.
I heard ice layer is not that thick this year.
That is why its good to have plus degrees and a bit rain/wet snow, followed then by sufficient minus degrees.
Well lots of snow looks nice and provides great snow banks. However snow itself is quite loose and won't provide much grip or solid base layer. Ice is achieved by lots of snow that is compress by vehicles (temps around 0 required( and then freezing. Repeat that (cold weather and new snow then warmer weather for a few days followed by longer periods of colder weather) a few times and you will get very good conditions. However if it is too warm or just cold with powder snow the road conditions won't be good.Quote:

If weather really hits as picture shows above, I'm pretty sure rally will be cancelled.
usually the temperatures in the forest are a lot lower than populated areas.Quote:

Tauri_J, it has been mentioned on the last few pages, that you shouldn`t look at Karlstad, as it is the place where the SSS takes place. Rally is quite a lot further north.
SMHI forecast: Looks really good. More snow followed by warmer weather with a little rain followed by more snow and colder weather. https://i.imgur.com/fWBTm1f.png https://i.imgur.com/7yyUVfY.png https://i.imgur.com/4KwblYN.pngQuote:

Also those places forecasted aren't that populated, not like a larger city, so the population there has no visible effect on the temperature. Fortunately it's a long term forecast, if the forecast for those days is still the same or worse by the end of next week, we can start to panic. Friday stages seem to be safer, however.
Has there ever been a cancelled rally Sweden? I remember in 15 or 16 that it was shortened by quite a bit but never the full rally right?? But let's see, here in the neighboring country no matter what they have predicted the outcome has been cold and really much snow.
1990 was cancelled altogether
Are you serious ? how a prediction will affect spectators ? Is there anyone who is going to cancel his plans because of a prediction ?Quote:

Well, about -5 to -10 would be the dream. I would be happy aslong as they can drive
... and in 1974 it was cancelled because of the oil crisis. So hopefully there is no oil embargo predicted in the next 2 weeks ;)
As should your comments on here.Quote:
