I guess the one run restriction was only meant to apply to 'Shakedown 2' tonight? I too was under the impression it applied to both though.

This weekend will be interesting. All the drivers looked a bit confused at the shakedown. Battle of survival for sure.

Emil Lindholm said they won't drive the Skalla shakedown because the conditions are so bad. So I guess it's not mandatory for all cars to go there at all, whereas it was mentioned that everyone must drive once through Karlstad.

If you want to use them and see how it works with less studs it's much better to drive SD1 as it is at least a bit similar to the conditions on the stages. The SD2 track run in the evening will have nothing in common with the stages, both in character and surface (since it's run in the evening in the open in a much warmer area).

Sami Pajari (JWRC) also tweeted that they only drive Karlstad tonight.

Last year I've driven with studed tyres on a frozen gravel with a wee bit of ice (less than 10%) - the grip is amazing, very close to a grip on normal ice. Problem is studs overheating, I've been driving on a short track, about 4 km, so I didnt loose studs, giving time for tyre to cool down after each run. There were a lot of studs 'moving' in a rubber blocks, and I imagine if you drive over 10km without cooling the tyre studs will be lost, but the feeling is amazing - grip is much better than on gravel tyre (we use the same track all year round, and time was better on a winter tyre on frozen gravel in comparison with gravel tyre in summer/autumn runs).
But you need a lof of confidence when trees are around like in Sweden, our track is safe in that comparison very strange feeling driving that fast on a gravel (the good one feeling, I must admit )
