Rally Sweden 2023

[Tanelv]

Unpopular idea: may be Rally Est would be better run in the winter untill swedes find smth more appropriate? Otepaa in winter would be rally wonderland.

Or why not Jyväskylä in winter

Hold your horses. Summer event is enough. Because nothing is better.

Unfortunately no 100%. Should be snow, but the amount can be very different year by year. + degrees are possible and if luck is not your side the hot temperature weekend might happen just then there would be rally. Maybe better, but almost like in Karlstad area.

That is exactly what I can't understand. Maybe it's a question of my different character, but I would never ever use my own money to compromise myself like this. I mean how can you explain a result such as this?

Well, it is only about having fun, is it not. Soon we will all be dead, so many of us need to be better in enjoying the moment.
Logically he would have had more fun in a Rally2 or even a Rally3 car, that his brain could take in what happens.
But he is about my age, and he would utrun me any day of the week, as with most people in here....

With the demand from new countries to enter the championship, and teams wanting to explore new markets (without going over 14 events), maybe its time to look for an alternative to Sweden for good. They've been a cornerstone of the championship, but this current event isn't 'Rally Sweden' as we knew it.
Surely by 2025 when the current deal runs out, the promoter can find a new snow event in Canada etc. I know Canada currently has 2 winter rallies in their calendar currently. One at rhe start of February, the other the first week of December usually. Would kill 2 birds with one stone, branching into the North America Market and giving us a snow event that's vital to the championship. Maybe Japan has the possibility to host a snow rally as well somewhere?

And to all the haters that say he is slow, i doubt any of you would be half as fast as he is.

But he is about my age, and he would utrun me any day of the week, as with most people in here....

I think this argument is irrelevant. Do all music critics sell more albums than the artists they give 1/5 ratings to? Same with movies?

But still, if local rally privateers with old FWD cars are faster, it's fair to estimate that 90% of rally drivers would be faster with the same amount of kilometres.

Poor guy had his first snow rally. And those Otepää roads is not just easyest to begin with...
