WRC Rally Sweden 2020

[Entertainer]

Ice-gravel-ice and losing studs is just something the driver's have to manage. Its not the first time in Sweden these situations have happened.

First sane comment I've read in the "Rally Sweden 2020"-forum in a long time. Rally is, to a huge part, about adapting to conditions.
Adapting to icy patches in Monte,
adapting to heavy rain in France,
adapting to to icy slushy Welsh roads in Rally GB,
adapting to HUGE rocks in the road vs sand in Turkey...

but no, we never hear as much whining/negativity/complaints from everyone as when Sweden is coming up... either too much snow or too little, too little ice etc.
This year is a freak of nature, an oddity and will most likely not be happening again in at least 20 more years if we look at weather statistics.

So please folks, 24 hours until rally start... lets focus on the driving, the powerful cars, Ogier's last season, "comeback" of Breen and Latvala, the speed and action in the forest, the junior WRC premiere, the fight of the R5s and the lovely thrill that is WRC!

Yes, but crews should have enough sources to adapt. As there are allowed ONLY studded tyres in Sweden, it is so dangerous to drive on them on normal gravel, especially if it will not be frozen. On Monte you have proper tyres (or at least you can choose what suits you better), here you have no option...

Facebook Enthusiasts of Rally Sweden says they have two trucks watering Likenas now. Would be really interesting to know if something like that is going on at Finnskogen.

I've never been so enthralled by the leadup to a rally. Whatever happens this'll be a very special event and likely the only time something like this will happen. Bring it on!

I think we can try to bet how many stages will be cancelled. Current situation is - 8 stages week before race, 1 stage two days before race...
