Värmland roads had more character than in Umeå. There were crests and corners, variations on the roads from wide to narrow. Now we have just endless super fast forest roads - even two 25 km stages made up completely of them - but very little wide roads with crests and flowing bends. There's barely any jumps or crests anywhere. Also Värmland had awesome technical sections like the beginning of Vargåsen, without being super narrow between the trees like most of the technical sections in Umeå. At best, the Umeå roads resemble Arctic Rally Finland.
Yes, but we aren’t sitting here wondering how many stages will be cancelled due to lack of snow/ice.
World RX lurches from one crisis to the next.
KMS may have committed based on Red Bull being there, but hopefully they can find new sponsors with the Championship getting free live coverage on YT.
