Rally Sweden 2022

What a mess all the time. Something is very wrong with FIA rally section.
Cannot really make any plans anymore.
Good I did not buy rally pass and ferry tickets yet.

Do not know why to blame FIA?

Situation is ridiculous. Rally Sweden Team looked for new destinations, there were I think minimum two more options, discussions with cities were held, and now what? Deal with Umea was announced in April. And in December they have problem with road permissions? It's like joke. Deal with Umea was done, but surrounding communes didn't know about it,or what? They thought it will be cycling?

Appears to be objections from Military & some Sami villages that stages pass through submitted on 7th December. They supposedly have set deadline for 19th December to get resolved.

There are also lot of environmentactivists in most of the swedish authorities. They would be more than happy to stop this rally. Like many other things they already succeeded in.

Glenn says they must start preparations way earlier. Like talking to landowners. But also there are stakeholders with other interests than rallying. Despite having talks before summer they haven´t come longer this autumn. Swedish Motorsport association can decide wheather there will be a rally in Umeå or not. In that case they can decide to move rally to other location...

Practically not more than that. I wonder why they didn´t learn the essentials for being organizer...?

As long as I remeber FIA is the organization that is responsible for the World Chmpionships. WORLD championships, not some village race.

It could all be a tactic to bring those who are causing problems in to line...

Then they have agreed with the local Sami population on 6 x SS and transport in their Reindeer "territory".
The Sami population has been 100% against the rally, but after talks btw the rally organizers, the municipality and the Sami reps, they have agreed that it is ok, if this results in better cooperation and that the municipality will create a development plan for the reindeer business in the area.

I was living even much further north on the Norwegian side for some years, and have tried to cooperate with the norwegian sami reindeer people. That can be very challenging indeed!
But now the Rally Sweden plan is moving forward again!
