Umeå is good choice IMO, relatively big city with good transportation connections (train, airplane and by road as well as a ferry to Vasa in Finland) and should be able to offer
a fairly good amount of hotel rooms. The area around Vännäs west of Umeå have hosted many successful rounds in the Swedish rally championship.
The disadvantage is the distance from South East Norway with the Oslo-Hamar region.

Two stages with Ekström from last year's SM-round in Umeå. Some of them will surely be used in next year's WRC round.

Looking forward to the new stages in Sweden.
If Corona is under control by then, maybe I will go to the new round in Mid-Sweden!

Hotelprices in Umeå went crazy for the expected dates of rally, just an hour after official.

If they start to take advantage of the event like they did in Estonia last year with insane prices I will miss it for sure, enough other events that will be easier and cheaper to travel to. Even I live in Norway total travel time to Jyväskylä for example is about 4 hours less than Umeå.

Well it's 2430 €/person making it 486 €/night which still is a quite expensive
Fortunately there will be cheaper ways as was in Rally Estonia when all the expensive offers got the coverage but there was a lot of affordable or cheaper ways.

This may be one of the more expensive ones yes and it's only for bed & breakfast. It's 8 Adults as that is how many in my group. The same hotel is €14,000 cheaper for 5 nights outside of Rally week so my point is they are trying to be extortionate

Yesterday Chris Ingram posted he was doing a shakedown of the Polo R5 so it seems he's continuing in that car for the Jim Clark. https://www.instagram.com/reel/C7OEfYKoYV1/?igsh=czZzYzB1dm9zeHd4 ...
