I didn't know that about the gravel tyres. They can still use the same tyres just rip off the studs, I think it was some edition in 90's when drivers just got rid of their studs quickly. All that is good but destroyning the roards is not sounding well, we'll have a winter "Safari".

Well, I have worked with Rally Sweden forecast for at least last two weeks already (actually I started in Monte already). Initially it looked quite impossible, but on Monday morning I suggested that the only way it might work is to cancel all Saturday stages and run Friday leg in two mornings (cooler, some overnight freezing etc.) and Sunday stages as it was, depending on the conditions in Torsby stage.
Another suggestion is to start recce on Wednesday. So, if you plan to go and recce the stages, please avoid Sunday, Monday and Tuesday (maybe only early in the morning). There is some overnight frost, but likely not enough to recover from weekend rain and risk of destroying the roads is very-very high. There should be enough cold on Tuesday night to Wednesday, to make roads more solid. So, please try to be sensible!
In general, I would say that organizers have taken some proper risk, but this is the best and safest solution you can take for this year event.
And distance, 100% distance is decided before the rally starts (not sure at what point exactly, but I think it was before recce). Now, this 75% will be from this new itinerary. Of-course, FIA must agree with shortened route, but if it is like this, Force Majore, there is no other option.Colins Crest = Möldri Mätas

Heard it was -12 in Øyermoen tonight just south of Nyckelvattnet and old Svullrya stage, something like -4 more than what was forecasted, If we are lucky there could be 10cm of snow in the area on Sunday/Monday, on the limit between rain and snow if you look up Svullrya on Yr.

Which of the 3 stages on friday/Saturday is the highest above sea level with the most likely best winter conditions? Any recommendations for new viewing points?

Heard one of the stagecommanders was stuck inside one of the saturday stages because of mud, its not going to be drivable with the forecasts next week.
Good decision, norway saves sweedes a$$!

In the fear of the event getting cancelled, Belgian Gregoire Munster withdraw from the rally. He will start another round, probably Portugal.

Keith Cronin just took a huge 18.2 sec out of both Devine & Edwards on SS4 ! Edwards says that's mental and Keith is a special talent.
