Rally Sweden 2014

NOT, are you a fucking retard or something??

Are you following the wether here in sweden every day, year after year?

You cant be so old with this stupid comments. We have no snow at all in the middle of sweden. Its a temp over +5 degrees and rain and it will be like this for at least to the middle of januari!!

It needs to be wet and then cold for a long time with much snow to have good snow roads, if not, after 5 wrc cars, its all gravel...
This is like early 90's when Rally Sweden was driven on gravel...

I hope it turns but it not looks like that.

So you can crawl back to the stone you came from, stupid fuck.

so much anger over the weather... LOL.

I believe Rally Sweden will be run on snow or it won't be run at all this year. Enough motivation for VW to test on snow.

What will happend if the stages would be 100% gravel and no ice or snow?

I have never seen that. Will they cancelled the rally or will they drive as a gravel rally??
If they cant move the stages further north??

The stages could be 100% frozen gravel. No problem with that, except from tyres... It has happened before, for example I remember 1988 practically no snow and only frozen gravel on most of the stages south of Hagfors...

The moving of the stages further north is impossible now... Only a month to the start, impossible to do such big changes (roadbooks, safety plans, all legal permits, etc.etc. would have to be changed).

If there is no snow or ice, situation is really difficult. I think in that situation the question that will the rally be driven or not is based on calculations which will cost them more: cancelling the entire event or fixing the completely destroyed roads... This ofcourse doesn't take account what teams, tyre suppliers, etc. would do under difficult conditions.
