Rally Sweden 2022

Well, the mixed temperatures below and over zero degrees should mean ice surface will grow. Let´s hope for minus degrees when rally gets along though... Snow seems to be enough.

It's not that much more snow than what it is around the planned 2021 route.
With the rally moving north, they are also needing quite a few new people running the event in 2023 if they keep it there. Many of the ones who have done it for years in the previous area are only doing it due to their contract this year.

It´s for sure very much safer conditions than was in 2021 or years before in Torsby area.

im sure the most perfect conditions are one week before or after the rally like every year

Well when it's too much snow drivers start to complain that everything should be plowed (see 2018).

Anyway temperatures going up and down around zero are best for solid base, which should be there this year.

Not too much snow but fresh snow

We've had quite different Rally Swedens in the previous few years

2020 almost no snow at all, stages cancelled
2019 slushy conditions
2018 very much fresh snow, a lot slower stage times than in 2017
2017 little snow but much ice, no snowbanks
2016 warm conditions with water on the stages, stages cancelled

Arctic Rally Finland last year was also interesting with very much snow and heavy freeze just weeks before the rally but then close to zero and sunshine during the rally.

-10 right now, temp will rise tovards the end of the week.

Still a month to go, but cold and 40 cm is good so far. Not sure if the ss roads are in regular use or not.

Feel free to drive and film any of the stages we don't have onboard of if anyone's in the area, like SS1,2,10 and the end of 8 especially.
Didn't find too many interesting spots so far but hopefully there should be something in SS1 on those technical and bumpy roads.

Nothing wrong to be sarcastic.
But I was there (cannot remember which SS) and it was miserable when Ogier first went through. Literally plowing.

Go to the only corner on the fast section of SS1
