When watching vids from Swe upcoming stages, must admit - unfortunately boring roads around Umeå; possibly Östersund would have been able to offer smth more interesting. Hard to compare with good old Karlstad region roads.
About gent-drivers: this is clear on FIA table - out of balance situation - overcrowded Rally 2 category with very few top category seats.
I´d wait to see.
Karlstad/Värmland region offered even faster roads than Finland. So there are interesting places where ever you go. Agree though Östersund would´ve been greatest solution.

Ford should certainly be able to afford part of the cost of developing a WRC27-spec car with M-Sport.
The new Cars are considerably cheaper than the Rally1 and sales should be good to privateers....
No it's not obvious. It makes no sense at all which is why I continued to quiz it.
I fully accept you have your position, I just want to understand the reasoning it's based on. With that...
Jurgenson and the team are optimistic about the upgrades for 2026.
