[WRC] Rally Sweden 2024

[SubaruNorway]

So this year there wont be possibility to buy rally-pass at the gas stations or Umea service park? So i wont be able to attend stages if I want to pay in cash? Meanwhile they prefer ONLY cash for the parking? Confusing.
And I have to agree, price this year is really high...

EDIT: And how will they check those e-tickets at the stages? With scanners? I can imagine how long this process will take, for everyone to take out the mobile phone, find a wallet, open the file, scan it ... I think it that will undoubtedly create jams at stage entrencies.

I think you need the e-ticket either way yes. No reception and Swish only works for Swedish people.
I guess so, wasn't it scanners they had issues with at CER?

No magazine so all stage info is here btw

I´d say big sponsors fly to Umeå. Can be done in one day or at least only one night stay.

Two nights stay if you want to watch 1 day of rally/service etc. Travel up on Friday, mid-day, and back home mid-day Sunday.
It's a lot higher cost, and while one can say "big sponsors". It's not really that much big sponsors around on the local drivers here. I think it's quite telling that neither Johan Kristofferson or OC Veiby are bothering.

A bit of snow in the forecast for Sweden

In that case, Late runners will have a lot of advantage

Yeah, good luck Thierry.

But pretty sure its gonna change. Forecast been fluctuating from one side to another lately.

[CeskyOndra]

That will needs to be rolled up by a roll, can forecast change too much in 5 days? I don't think so..

[SubaruNorway]

Only 10-15cm from Wednesday to Friday morning on Yr, it's usually correct, less on the northern stages, depends how close they manage to plow the snow on Friday morning before stage start

It is funny, same like last year - really low temperatures in the weekend before and during rally week the temperature is almost around zero...
