It feels such a shame especially when you see the amazing Arctic Rally with huge snow and proper winter conditions and start to get excited and wait for wrc snow rally.

Are you prepared to ditch Jyväskylä for Arctic thou? You can't have 2 rallies...

No, one is under the flag of Monaco, although all stages are in France.

Rovaniemi is too far from Sweden to be driven under its flag, and I doubt the organizers would agree with that.

Don't know if this is realistic but:
You could use Arctic Rally as the Finnish round in the winter.
And then use fe South Swedish rally as the Swedisch round in the summer?

Maybe Arctic Rally could be organized under the administration of Åland Islands or something? After the ceremonial start the cars would just be shipped from Mariehamn to whatever is the northernmost harbor in Finland and the rally could still take place in Lapland.

Ok, jokes aside, I really hope the Swedish organizers together with the WRC promoter would do something about it and move the rally somewhere else.

No. Simply because that would be utterly wrong.

Question. Why can't they just change the tires used? I understand that using spikes on this shoyt is bad for the surface, but why not use regular mud tires instead? At least the rally would happen.

1. The summer tyres don't work in the cold temperatures
2. The unfrozen wet roads don't withstand rallying
