Rally Sweden has signed a 2-year contract with Umeå as a base.
One interesting point even if it is not related to this rally: there has been only one new rally winner since 2018 (Rovanpera).
Ok, it was after a period with quite a lot of new winners (8 new winners between 2013 and 2018) but, still, it is one of the biggest drought ever.
Only comparison is probably 2007-2011 with only Latvala and Ogier as new winners (with also Ostberg in 2012 on disqualification so not really counting).
Also 1995-1996 but there were much less rally in these 2 years.
Don’t mean Rovanpera will dominate for a while because there can be little time between a 1st victory and being title contender but, still, it is a good indicator that it’s a difficult period for newcomer currently.
friend said, that today was the third time that they played Estonian anthem for Rovanperä(all his 3 wins)..
like how hard is it to name one song Finnish anthem and another Estonian anthem, and then play the right one :D
Sombre podium... assume this was just for the anthems.

It’s the same tune but in Finnish version the second part is repeated.Quote:

What a rally to see in real time. Stages very close together, conditions absolutely perfect but not to put a negative spin the marshals need to be on the same page. In some stages when we arrived 2.5hrs before first car we where refused to walk along the stage to our marked spectator point, being told we must stay at this spectator location only. Then on other stages it wasn't an issue. Marshalling is a tough job and I have respect for the people who do this but for next year its something they need to work on.
