I think the organisers have made their bed and will have to face up to heavy repair bills for these stages, to try and run them anyway (for one day at least). Cant see how we won't see some cancelled stages though, and lots of moaning and groaning from teams, drivers, media, organisers and fans.
Does make you think binning the rally last week would've been the best all round decision? At least it would maybe resemble a more professional/ measured decision, instead of the chaos I worry we will see this weekend

If there already weren't 2 cancelled rallies within 6 months they'd call Sweden off. But there were, so pressure is on to run something.
From a spectator point of view it's much better to watch them run on frozen gravel than to not have a rally. Drivers should adapt. So the only ones I really pity is the organizers.

If they can rally on road tyres in USA and Canada they should be fine, some of the twisty sections in the shade on Hof still had thick ice and 20cm snowbanks so might last ok until TZ.
Any pics of tyres from Saturday in 2016?
10 times more dangerous driving on slicks in MC in my opinion.Last edited by SubaruNorway; 11th February 2020 at 17:40.

Some funny note here. In 2010 or 2011 Prague Rallysprint was held on snow while studs are not allowed in CZ at all. The obvious question was which tyres to pick. There were many strategies like Michelin MC tyres without studs (that didn't work at all), stock Nokian tyres with additional hand cuts, old narrow Matador snow tyres without studs (these actually existed in rather soft compound) or 30 years old Barum pattern from gr.B times which is still produced in a form of cheap remould tyres. In the end it was very interesting to see how each team can cope with those conditions and how picking a remould tyre for 30 Euro could make you 1-2 s/km faster than the JWC on MC Michelins.

Imagine if Ogier wins this years championship on part time program. What a story. He has already multiple crowns with three different manufacturers over Loeb. That could also help the whole picture...
