That would be amazing! Though I can get to Rally Sweden quicker than Rovaniemi, but still personally it would be great. Proper winter conditions and already good team behind it organisation wise.

If you realize I was joking. Having Arctic Rally in WRC would come at the expense of Jyväskylä Rally Finland.
I don't know much about Sweden's rallying scene, is there any proper rallies in Northern part of the country that could be converted into WRC level? Something with a relatively big city nearby.

Yes I realise. Just daydreaming that we would get two rallies here. And also about winter rally that you can be sure will be run like planned.

Arctic Rally is also super fast. Last year the fastest stage was 141 km/h and multiple stages over 130 km/h, on R5 cars.

Well, it's uncommon for a country to have two rounds in a championship. Unless they made it a "Nordic WRC event" like European GP. Also, I believe the ASN would run out of resources arranging two WRC events. Meanwhile, car manufacturers are probably more interested in going to Canada for a snow rally instead of Finland which is a relatively small market even for one WRC event.

It was on qualifying stage, he rolled the car and it was said that he won't be able to start the rally. But team managed to repair the car and he did start and dominated drivers like Rossel, Gryazin...
