Rally Sweden 2016

[hype]

I'm really not sure...
I can still cancel rental car and apartment for free until tomorrow morning.
The money for the flight is gone already.
I don't know if the money is worth visiting 1/2 of a rally without snow.
Looks like wet Finland to me at the moment.

It's 17 stages to run, no?

Autosport said:

"Rally Sweden will run with a revised itinerary and including 12 of the planned 21 stages, having been threatened with cancellation due to warm weather conditions".

Nope, single passes only on day 2 and day 3

Better some stages than nothing...

Pity about losing the Historics as they often showed them on the SVT coverage.

And by the way Ogier will win easy.

[EstWRC]

Not so sure, i think Mikkelsen will push him like last year and also Neuville starting in 3rd pos.

How is the starting positions after Tänak? Because in championship order Evans, Lappi and Kremer are after Tänak. So Latvala, Meeke and other will start after them?

Funny to see people putting Latvala for win or top3 in pickems because he should have the worst conditons out there with Meeke.

Do people think the lack of snow will keep a lot of fans away or, on the flipside, might we see more crowding in the stages that do run?

Should be championship order WRC1 priority cars. Then people without points like Meeke, Henning etc. Then championship order WRC2 priority.

If the weather is like the forecasts says and it will be cold and sunny I'm sure there will be not less People than normally, but on less stages.
The speed and spectacle will still be impressive, maybe on quite icy roads.
