WRC Rally Sweden 2020

TV stage.

Let me try to place my words better.

Why is SS1 cancelled if the track is drivable?

[AnttiL]

I think I realized the reason - the cars are now allowed to be transported from Karlstad to Torsby. They won't have to drive a long liaison with rally studs.

Also the tyre quota isn't used now.

EDIT: Also, Skalla is only allowed for P1 and P2 drivers. So this is the only shakedown for other drivers.

EDIT2: Two cars at the same time would result in broken lights and windscreens due to rocks flying

Neuville sayin not driveable for sure, the others not being so dramatic

He says that about Finnskogen (SS3) which is where this was filmed.

The thing is that they recced this stage as 3rd when everything already started to melt today, while on both next nights and most of friday it should have freezing temps down to -6. That won't cover the gravel part though unless they water it.

I am afraid if it will frozen with these lines on the road, it will also not help so much...

Well it doesn´t look good. However they probably captured the most bad place on the stage. It´s easy to see sun has melted everything at the place. Yes. It will be muddy.

But. Do we remember Sardinia Power Stage? Looser than that I promise, it´s not.

In Sardinia you are not going with studded tyres...

The rest of the pics Toyota posted looked good/ok though

Ice-gravel-ice and losing studs is just something the driver's have to manage. Its not the first time in Sweden these situations have happened.
