Looks faster than Sordo on the tests.

Had a run through Svullrya today and made a video with GPS so you can see where i am easier.
Lots of ice so no worries there i think, they have put some gravel on top of the ice on the main road so it's much better than it looks.
Could be a challenging recce though unless they put some gravel on the narrow part as well haha.

If the forecast is correct and colder weather arrives during the night between Wednesday and Thursday. Would it be possible to re-schedule the itinerary?
Cancel the Hagfors and Karlstad SSS stages. Recce on Thursday+Friday AM. Shakedown Friday afternoon. Then put Friday's stages on Saturday and Sunday?

No way they let the cars out on recce if the road surface isn't frozen.

Ther is simple solution. Road base is still OK, it does not melt so quickly. So, there is 60 cars they need to pass the road twice, that is 120 cars. Stages must be closed for spectators for recce period and opened for locals and recce only, secondly, reduce recce speed. Such amount of cars make the top surface muddy but nothig bad. I have lived nearby such roads for 18 years I know what I am talking

This is what Autosport is speculating as a possibility. Sat-Sun rally - http://beta.autosport.com/news/repor...f-cancellation

so maybe the teams won't have to worry about the 14 round calendar after all

It depends on how far down it is frozen. It didn't really get cold until after Christmas and then the snow arrived more or less at the same time (working as insulating blanket)
so I don't think it is that deeply frozen. The organizers also seems to be very concerned which I don't think they would be if the ground was frozen.

For a first time watching - spots on 0:22 and 5:28-5:34 caught my eye

Ok spots just a shame they don't start earlier i think 0:22 could have been more interesting then. 0:40 could be nice with 700m of flat before it, that's 2km from the parking area.

Note that 6:05 is the junction at the bottom and the jump is at 5:55 but the tape is 5m into the forest so not good for amateur filming or foto.
