    Rally Sweden this year would have had perfect snow conditions

    Rovaniemi on this weekend a year ago would have been between -5 and -20

    So we now know that to have winter rally even Rovaniemi doesn't guarantee you a perfect winter conditions. What a world we're living....

    Well, it’s the end of February, which is exceptional. Normally Arctic Lapland Rally has plenty of minus degrees in January.

    Sure. And at the beginning of Feb also in Torsby a real winter this year. But my point was that we are not guaranteed of good conditions unless within very narrow time frame (Jan 15 - Feb 15).

    Also considering that we have always Monte at the end of January then we have only 2nd week of February left for winter rally.

    EDIT: don't take it as complaining. My thoughts are more directed towards ideas how to have proper winter rallies in the future.

    Yeah, Arctic Lapland Rally has been traditionally arranged in the same week as Monte or one week before.

    Sweden would have liked to run earlier but like always MC are allowed to do as they want pushing Sweden late, at least a couple of the years where it has been mild would have been fine if it got to run a week or two before

    Mads said he is very surprised, that there is quite a lot of gravel out already after the recce and not so thick layer of ice/snow. Will be demanding for tyres and studs.. SS1/2
