    If correct, it is a smart move to go all the way to Norrbotten county, for real stable winter conditions!
    They will for sure save the rally with such a move.

    Financially also? Would guess they need more money from sponsors to run the event up there with less spectators probably. Nearly no motorsport that high north in Norway, Finland across the border is good i guess though.

    Calculated my own fuel expenses to go up there in my own car for the whole event to at least 500€ with 13-14 hours to and from. Not an option renting a cheap FWD for me and shortest flight i could find is 1 stop 4 hours and 140€

    Looks line Hq in Torsby in 21, and then I guess with remote service.
    But hey, maybe 21 will be the snowseason of the decade! But I would not put money on it.

    There are three candidates that have submitted application to be the new host of Rally Sweden. Österund, Umeå and Luleå (together with a few other smaller towns) are the three candidates.
    Umeå is by far the biggest city of the three, almost 130'000 inhabitants. Umeå also hosted a very good SM-round this year but Östersund have done well too previous years. Luleå/Boden/Älvkarleby is,
    for me atleast, a bit unknown when it comes to rally hosting. All three still have flights from/to Stockholm-Arlanda and/or Stockholm-Bromma.

    Östersund has listed 43 possible stages within a 60 km radius from the city, with a total SS length of almost 1000 km. Their round in the Swedish Championship usually have really nice roads with big snow banks. The map of these stages along with some other information (in Swedish though) can be found in this document.

    Finally they are going into right direction with this. Should have happened years ago already.

    I don't disagree in any way, shape or form. However Umeå/Vännäs Motorklubb received allot of accolades after the SM-round this year so I don't think that they will give up without a fight.

    Will be interesting to see what happens. In an international aspect I think Östersund is the winner.

    But for sure, Umeå surely would be fine.
