Any news if spectators will be allowed?

They are still selling rally passes.

A fundraiser has been started to try to get PG Andersson on the start line with a Rally2 Fiesta. 1M SEK is the goal, shouldn't be impossible after the pace he has shown in the Swedish championship. Tidemand etc hasn't had a chance to keep up with his pace.

It's basically no-news, but Esapekka Lappi drives the third Toyota in Sweden

Are spectators still allowed? As Finland is considering to tighten all the screws again, Sweden might do the same.
Wil buy ferry tickets at the very last moment.

Well, Vasaloppet is still planned to go ahead (15'000 skiers cramped into one field). Current restrictions don't apply to outdoors event, only indoor events.
I also think that any attempts to tighten the restrictions won't be possible due to increasing opposition due to "falsified" statistics regarding Covid-19 and
media is starting to question if this is used as an excuse to tighten the restrictions and as a way to hide the fact that healthcare is understaffed/under financed (Stockholm in particular).

We had 2020 Tartu marathon (part of Loppet series with 10 000 participiants) a go all the way, when for the rest of the population 2+2 rules applied and no events were allowed.
So, sometimes some sports are more equal than the other sports.

But of course, hope the best. Cannot wait to see these new hybrid things alive.

They usually have a webpage where they keep updating the entries which was fun to keep checking.. not so this year it seems.

Only Historic entries visible this year, shame
