Katsuta seems also to have improved - 4th stage time (SM1) (+10.8s) on 22km SS1 of Arctic Rally 2017 behind Nikara, Salo and Manty.Quote:

Hi, I'm new in the forum, and this year I'm going to my first rally sweden.
The road acces to rojden you were talking about was used as a rally access road in 2015 (i saw it in 2015 magazine), but looking at your comments last year was closed, very disappointing.
If anyone is interested i can share the pictures from the access road in 2015 to the stages rojden, vargasen, varmullsasen(hagfors) and torsby.
Anyone of you has the access road of the stages from this year or last year rallye Sweden magazine?
Thanks to evrybody for the info in your posts, and wish everyone a nice rally!!
Sorry for my english.

You are right, hopefully it's open again this year if it wasn't closed because of too many getting stuck.Quote:

If Mikkelsen had a 16 Polo in Sweden, how far off the leaders would he have been?
How much in sec/km is the aprox difference btw a 16 and 17 car on ice/snow?
do you have any videos from Lovhaugen?Quote:

New forecast for Torsby area says 17-18 cm snowfall coming weekend and minus degrees in the nights and just over zero daytime week after (rallyweek).
For sure not. That's too much.Quote:

(However, I´m sitting 300K from the area.)
where was this forecast from?Quote:

Thanks for your answers,
I have another question.
How much you have to pay to park in the access road/parkings prepared by organizers?
thank you!!
Last year was 5 eur most places.
no way is 1 s too much, I think it will be even greater as the season progressesQuote:

weird picture!
Norwegian sites are saying 8-13cm snow this weekend (also around Finnskogen) so, hopefully that means that there will be some snow at some point!Quote:

Less than 0,5 or 0,5-1,0 sec/km in your opinion?Quote:

Of course in Sweden Ogier with 2017 can be easily faster by 1s/km or more than Lefebvre but that says nothing about both cars. 1 s/km is huge difference, roughly 5-6 minutes per event for the same driver, it may be possible on some particular rallies but I don't think Sweden is one of them.
Also don't forget what Ogier managed to do with the S2000 and now think if 2017 WRC can be faster than 2016 car by a margin a lot bigger than 2012 WRC over S2000 car. I don't think it can. First hint may be Breen's performance in Monte Carlo; 0,6 s/km against a reasonably faster driver but Monte Carlo is very specific case.
All in all I think that pulling random numbers out of the magician's hat is quite meaningless.
i don't expect differences upto 1sec/km its huge.Maybe only at uphill stages.
With the new aerodynamics and more power. I think 1 second per km faster is right. But you would need head to head to compare. Catalunya and Deutschland will tell a lot. As will Finland and Poland. But this is just my opinion
Finland and Poland hardly. Just look at the difference between WRC and R5/S2000 there. Germany and Catalunya will show larger differences, I agree. From gravel rallies it is IMHO going to be Argentina and Mexico where the new cars will have the biggest advantage.
Is Henning Solberg getting a car for sweden?Heard that it was not 100% yet.
Tried to rent Kubia's car but most likely R5 now.Quote:

You can ask to change the class, but FIA must agree with it.
Got the magazine today so here are the new stages, the rest looks the same apart from Vargåsen obviously, entry road through where the stage ran before after Colin's crest and the two first entry roads to Hagfors are not marked in green anymore, just after where Henning had a spin in 6th. The entry road in Röjden by the lake we talked about is not open this year either.
First one is Shakedown
