DS3 R5 de J-Motorsport for Emil Bergkvist

[janvanvurpa]

On a side note - really detest what the Rally Sweden organisers have done to Colin's Crest - putting a VIP tent all the way down one side. Not a great place to spectate in my opinion.

VIP tents??? in the middle of the woods? Va fan?
Allmännaa rätten! Va fan?
All those years of Sossarna in Riksdagen and they close off a part of the gawddam forest to put up ugly tents fär pamparna? Kupong klippare? Mördare!

What has happened to poor Sweden since I leave?

All those years of class-struggle to build a just and fair society.....and no snow....

Fie men fan... (skakar huv'ut)

Sorry, a VIP tent is a spot allowed only for vips? Common people could not reach it?
Are there such spots in the WRC???

I hope I've misunderstood the meaning of this "vip tent". Is ok if VIPs go in helicopter from stage to stage because they don't want to get their 1000 dolars shoes dirty, or because they don't want to walk for kms (what a pity for them, reaching a stage after spitting blood is a priceless feeling), but it can't be allowed in any of the multiple universes that they could stand in a tent where other people can't enter. Dear god, what's wrong with umanity?

Forecasts says possible allot of rain/snow on this Sunday-Tueday then subzero temperatures from Wednesday next
week with some possibility of light snow on Friday next week http://www.smhi.se/vadret/ortsprogno...3/13.65;flik=0.

There is quite an amount of precipitation forecasted. If this is really rain and not snow the stages could be in a very bad shape already before recce! Lets hope there is no Problem in running the Event. Reminds of the ERC Liepaja Situation.

Please dear weather god, give us a little bit more snow.
This ought to be my first snow rally...

The VIP place was already last year at Colins Crest, opposite of the specator area and the place has not lost any of his Special Spirit.
At probably every WRC Events VIP places like that exists. Nothing to worry.

man, the pictures from the stages and the weather forecast doesnt look good at all

John, lugna ner dig nu! (Calm down a bit)

Every WRC rally has VIP-places, so this is nothing. And the place is so big area so no problem what I can see. Weather bigger problem.

The fact every place has it, doesn't mean it's not stupid.
Of course it has nothing to do with Sweden or swedish people. It's related to the WRC in general, and to the mankind

Yeah it was there last year too for the first time. All the best pictures of that jump are taken from that side - and now you need to pay extra to stand in there. Sure lots of places have VIP areas but usually those areas are much larger. Here they take basically 50% of the choice away when you get to the arena. There are lots of people stood in that bowl area to driver's left over the jump. Nice atmosphere but they aren't really seeing very much except the back of people's heads.

It just seems sacrilege to have that kind of structure out in the forest like that - especially when 75% of the imagery they use to sell the rally comes from that spot.
