Any update on road surface / snow condition as yet from locals?
Likelihood of conditions to be for the rally?

I hope it is snow and ice aplenty.

No too much snow right now. Between 10-20 cm. But it is very cold right now (around -20 in next few days). warmer weather, rain and snow is expected at the end of January.

This weekend it was running the local competition Finnskogsvalsen that went around the forests of Torsby.
Not much snow but ice on the road and really frosen roads.
Photos available on ...::: Rallyfoto.se :::.... Select "Visited Contests" and then "Finnskogsvalsen 130119"
Hope it will get a little more snow so it will be properly snowbanks before the competition begins.

Does not look like it at the moment. Cold and subzero temperatures for another week but then a change
to warmer weather with temperatures above zero and possible even some rain.

omg, unbelievable the number of 940 and 960!!! didn't know you could do rally with them!
my parent used to owe one (they know have an xc70 thank god) and i didn't want them to drop me at school because i was so ashamed! if i knew it was such a good base for rally car, i would have begged them not to sell it! although it was a diesel, so might not be so good!
thanks for sharing the pics anyway! what a nice country sweden...

They are very popular. Cheap to buy(?), plenty of cheap parts, reliable, strong-built, good engines , rwd (=plenty of fun).

There are even a championship for Volvo cars: VOC Mekonomen Rally

I keep a scanned and detailed map of all the special stages for those who are working on their stay in Sweden. You need to know how many spots there are to see? Where are the access roads? What kind of amenities there are? Send me a private message (I cannot post a link because I am new here!)

Great example of why this is THE forum for fans of rallying. Big up ruesluporp :up:

And for those who will attend the Swedish rally with a smartphone or a tablet (Android, IOS or Windows Phone 7), I made my best in order to put all the special stage maps available for MakkaMappa (free little application) so that you can see your GPS position onto the maps in live (off connection)...

Download MakkaMappa, log in, search for their featured maps, find Sweden 2013 or WRC, download the maps, that's all!

Again, for those who will try to get a rally pass or a program when arriving in Sweden, I can send the list of OKQ8 stations where you will be able to find it... (send a PM, it's a jpeg).

Is there a sympathetic swedish who could tell me what's the best phone operator (best reception) in Hagfors and Torsby area?
23rd January 2013, 16:22

I think "Telia" is one of the more safe operators but I use "Telenor" and that works just fine also..

I would say Telia is the best when you are going out in the forest, no matter where in Sweden.

because she has an agreement with novikov/ m-sport for the whole season! it would be not so wise to drop novikov for just one rally with henning....you know how "unsure" hennings sponors are ....
