We decided to come a day early to Karlstad, so we will be renting a car at Arlanda and will have Tuesday free to reccy one or two of the stages and maybe see a part of the shakedown. Other than Vargasen, can you recommend the best stages for viewing, preferably those closest to Karlstad? It looks like there are several stages either side of the Saturday service (a high priority for us) which we might be able to see before or after (or both) taking in the service. Finally (whew!), are the locations of and access to the various parking areas on the stages shown anywhere? Maybe on line? Thanks for your help and your patience for a couple of complete newbies. Cheers.
    Saturday Fredriksberg big jump / Go right to parking place SEK 50 after finish / Walk about 1k / when you get to the stage turn right / about 5-600 meter you get to this jump / It is the 3rd jump from when you get on the stage / a lot of flags will be there hanging over the stage / Great atmosphere and fireworks :-) I have done this one every year and you will get goosebumps with this 180 km/ph jump: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=39eTgprd0Nc

    It may be to early to say this but I think this rally will show us if Latvala could seriously challenge Ogier for the title. He will have to push and stay on the road, (not to choose between one of them as he did in Monte-Carlo). Lot of people are saying he will win on Twitter and other forum. As a Latvala fan I really hope he will succeed but Ogier showed a better pace than him on snow in 2013 and even in 2014 (until he went off the road).
    Do you think JML could win this year after a straight fight without dramas?
    Another one who I'm looking forward is Tanak, I think he will impress us if he stays on the road. Let's see.

    Yes, he could. About the rest - isn't Sweden with its snowbanks the best place to push the limits?

    I hope there will be enough snowbanks for a big fight!

    If Ogier and Latvala have trouble, Mikkelsen might be on the top of the podium this time.

    Tanak could as well be the man, but in my opinion Mads Ostberg is the one who could win RS.

    Hi,
    First time here.
    Been to many wrc events over the years but this will be my first Sweden. The website isn't clear whether you NEED to buy tickets for the stages. I realise after reading this thread that parking is extra.
    Can anyone clear this up and have I left it too late to order online?
    Thanks,
