WRC Rally Sweden 2020

IF there would be a cancellation it would be for sure at the very last minute - days prior to the event, but much more likely is then a scenario like 2016 with a new and reduced itinerary.

But still quite positive everything will sort out in the remaining weeks, looks as it is going in the right direction.

Still 2,5 weeks to go and weather can change rapidly in a matter of days. However long time forecasts still says no snow and temps above zero.

This is very unlikely. Nobody lets teams to travel there just to make cancellation decision in the last minute. These things must be somehow regulated I guess.
Australia was force majeure, Swedish weather isn`t.

Reduced route - this is likely going to happen. Southern from Torsby will be cancelled and northern ones used.

Abou weather predictions - I remember few years ago forecast to indicate +5 for the first day, but in fact we faced - 17 in the same morning.

The #RallySweden looks bad for now (no snow). Toyota and Hyundai canceled their scheduled tests next week. FIA to release statement tomorrow to clarify situation #WRC

12 event calender in the end it seems

Seems strange to cancel 3 weeks before based on weather, would expect them to wait until next weekend.

Quite sure they will wait for any final decision until at least 10 more days. Will probably be a statement like "we are monitoring the situation and are in close contact with the organiser....etc." PR stuff to calm down some hyper nervous people.

Where was Hyundai going to test?
Looks like there's enough snow in Åre where they usually are so...

This test cancellation is a bit rumours, as I understand. There was a quote from AnttiL twitter, but now it`s gone.
Could`t find anything from Toyota`s twitter either.
@AnttiL maybe he adds comment himself.

My tweet was based on same source as EstWRC's, but as it seemed too much of a sourceless rumor, I deleted it.

any news about this today?

Well, weather forecast tips over more to minusdegrees again. It will be a nailbiter (say in swedish) and depends on how cool the organizer can stay. And if they can work out a plan B, I would believe.
