That timing looks great. Let's hope everything will run and we'll be allowed to go there... :)
- Five new stages, all of them long (19-27 km)
- Hagfors and Vargåsen are shortened
- No more long liaison to Karlstad on Saturday evening!
- All of Friday with only remote service
- Reversed Likenäs is now the power stage

Lima stages will be nice. Lot of snow, flowing and some very good runki places...

Rally Sweden planning for event to have NO spectators

Snowdepth, live map.
Press the bottom button on the left, with a pic of buildings. Look for Malung. From here and towards the Norwegian border, are the majority of stages.

Not much snow yet, but still an long way to medio February
As I keep posting every year, this map is much easier to zoom in and has more options:

Rally Sweden stages are covered
Any news / rumours?
I have to decide soon, what to do with booked accommodation.
Travel between Norway and Sweden has been restricted for last 2 months or so. So don't book accomodation or flights out of Norway. Since the general situation in Sweden is not good, it is possible spectators will be restricted there as well.
If Sweden doesn't run hopefully a stand in event can bridge the near 3month gap between Monte and Croatia.
Probably wishful thinking though. They do have lots of reserve events but they can only be run at specific points in the season - so depends if any rally can stand-in in February or March.
There was no way they were going to find those 15mill SEK to run without spectators unfortunately, shame the promotors aren't able to support the events like they do in F1
So is it official now?
Where Matton said it?
Please guys give us also the sources not just blabber around.
Jarno Saari claims having heard the same from another source, and he's usually quite credible...

It's ok, i can be the punching bag for you guys :rolleyes:
WRC/FIA can't let it happen, that there will be no rally between MC and Croatia.. Teams won't even come to the start of Monte, if already events are being cancelled..
even the Sweden and Croatia gap is too long, 2+ months..
I am not so sure they will mind so much, being busy developing and testing 2022 cars.

The replacement for Rally Sweden is apparently planned to happen in Northern Finland on the last week of February
Dare I have to say it again...village of an organisation.
That must be an end to Rally Sweden for a while in the WRC.
Yeah, they have already planned the event to run the weekend before Monte starts, so it's not possible. And would probably come too quick anyway to rearrange everything. But I've understood they could run the stages in the Arctic Lapland Rally area again in late February. Some of those stages are anyway outrageously fast, like Rovanperä run last year one stage at 143 km/h average speed with Yaris WRC, so the route should be redesigned. Although, I think in the current situation anything goes probably...
For the future seasons, wouldn't it be better to ditch Rally Sweden and replace it with Lapland Rally as Rally Finland; considering we now have Rally Estonia which is pretty similar to the event we get in Jyvaskyla. I know losing some classic stages won't be ideal but at least finally we could have some proper snow rally.
Well, obviously money talks and we'll see where things will flow in the future.
Remember how there was plans to arrange Rally Sweden in a completely different location to where it is now? Also, Sweden had a completely different strategy for COVID-19 and now they suffer from that. In the long run, it shouldn't matter.
I know I'm a bit sentimental about Rally Finland in Jyväskylä, but for me it would be wrong to take it away, as it has such a long tradition.
I'm an estonian but theres no way that Rally Finland on gravel should be left out from WRC calendar. Never ever should this happen.
I've been meaning to say this for a while, but I think we should refer to WRC Promoter as an Administrator rather than a Promoter. F1, MotoGP, GT racing, NASCAR, ect, all have clearly discernible Promoter activity. In the WRC, the FIA still seems to publicly play more of a Promoter roll than 'WRC Promoter'/Red Bull, which seems to be a silent witness. Behind the scenes, are WRC Promoter trying to assist events, manufacturers, teams and competitors to take part in the sport? Are they trying to bring eyes and sponsors to the sport, other than the sponsorship/income they've arranged for their own company?
Funnily enough I have more respect for your work than Colin's... I think he needs to remember that the core rallying fan base is a relatively small one, like the WRC bubble itself. Often the two even intertwine. Alienating people, who rather ironically have self funded and self produced WRC YouTube content with viewing figures that Dirtfish and WRC Promoter could only dream of, seems like a bad idea. Maybe he should join a forum like this, it might bring him and his fanciful opinions back down to earth.
It'd be like NASCAR ditching the Daytona 500, Indycar ditching the Indy 500, F1 dropping the Monaco GP. But nothing is sacred in the WRC! Here's hoping they don't go down that road. I don't think they would, again...
Thank you, that's very kind!
Not much time to sit around at cafés all day when I'm at events like some other people do, that's for sure!
Starting to get the feeling that if i really went for It and things opened up i could live off my YT channel now, so big thanks to everyone who's supporting it. Should just hit 10mill views this year!
Not sure what's going on with Colin, seems to be on a mission to fall out with as many people as possible this year unfortunately, got some supportive messages from several people around even drivers.
It was talked already in november that monaco and sweden won’t happen and Latvia will be the firtst round in may. But now it is sure that Latvia doesn’t have a rally this year.
I don't know exactly what was the case but promoter and organizer didn't reach the agreement. ERC round was planned to move to Tukums region so Liepāja can have a wrc round.
WRC have to step down to square one.
And NEVER give up Rally Finland. NEVER!
If rallying is the only motorsport somebody chooses follow, then you might think the WRC Promoter are doing okay. However, when you follow other series, you realise they're miles away from being up to the job.
I think we can safely say 1,000 Lakes/Rally Finland is the one event they'll never mess with. Everything else is okay; as we've seen, even the Monte.
There is not a lot of content being made by Promoter. If you are a fan then you have to rely on some independent makers or Dirtfish. Looking at the recent (and also past) events you cannot like Dirtfish unless David Evans has some story. The other chap there is just babbling and produces only a somekind of low end entertainment value.
Kind of sad really. I don't think the Promoter is up to the task at all what comes to digital media content.
