In Sweden and Norway there isent any real tarmac rallys because of tragic accident in the past so Pontus showed this year that he anyway with a lack of experiense is fast on tarmac, and on gravel Pontus is as fast as Evans and the other guys!
Pontus is a great young rallydriver with a goal! Watch out! ;)
Yes Astro - Fabia it was. And Fiesta WRC in one shot... :o
True, I don't Per - who was he beating and in what machinery? As for the line about lack of tarmac experience - Evans wasn't exactly familiar with the blackstuff pre-2012. On snow and ice he should be able to make the most of his experience but I'm willing to bet a large number of beers that when they face off in equal machinery that Evans will always be quicker - do we have a wager?Quote:

Astro - are you on?
With 8 euros/beer it's already quite some bet, if you bet for a few. :D
Two is enough...Quote:

Nice driving...

Finland it is but it isn't going to be 2013 as Evans won't be in a WRC car until GB at the earliest. Of course I'm happy to accept head to head in WRC2 on gravel if it happens anywhere. My itinerary for the next 20 months is. Germany 2013. GB 2013 MC 2014 Finland 2014 and possibly Ypres or San Marino in 2013. But the prize can be claimed whenever we get to meet up in future ;)
Can someone tell me where the overnight parc ferme is situated?
For first car:Quote:

Parc Fermé Hagfors in at 17:27-20:00 (flexi service, all cars must be in before 20:00)
Sunday:
Parc Fermé Hagfors out at 06:00
So 2 times in Karlstad and once in Hagfors, I don't know an exact location (most likely near the superspecial in Karlstad and near service in Hagfors), maybe some Swedish member knows?
For the people who is interrested the temperature was plus 2 today with a little rain,so it should become little ice on the road.
Next days we should have some more snow so the road should become better and better.
Greetings from Ekshärad
Is there any timetable out yet? Can't find it...

Just take the turn before CC parking.
On Fredriksberg 200meters in stage direction from fourway junction at Mörttjärn (about 4,5 K into the stage) good place watching the cars for about one K in nice bends.
The jump before Colins Crest at the start of my video from 2010Quote:

If there hadn't been some very loud speakers on the inside of the right hander just after it i would have been there, 4 right over crest into a short 5 left i think the note is there.
Jepp, that´s the one! As you can see there are some slow corners where the touristdrivers use to go off just before the crest. I´d say it very spectacular just after the jump as well.Quote:

I don't remember but i think parking was at an organized parking and not on an access road.
Vargåsen, Sp.A. Älgtjärn, after the stage entry go right, continue walking up the long hill and
continue through/beyond the hairpin. You will get to a section with a large bend combination that
ends with a slight s-bend that leads to the hairpin. There were no trees except at the hairpin so
you can see the cars both in the bend-complex and during their "descent" down the hill ( I did not film it). See this video.
Parking was at the access road so be early or be prepared to walk a looong distance.
I would like some advice about Rämmen. Anyone know any good spots?
Nothing special but a nice fast place about 1km from the startline, i got close to it with media sticker so bit further walking from the main road.Quote:

A couple of suggestions from "my forests".Quote:

The Colins Crest is spectacular when the drivers want to (like it was in 2011). There you want to stand ON the crest, because in the spectator crowd afterwards you won't see a lot. About 2km after the junction after Colins Crest, there is another nice place, Dunderängen (Thunder Meadow). Nice places where the road passes a house, Marius Aasen went of and parked in the door of a little ice cellar here in 2012.
Torsby - The spectator place in the middle of the stage at lake Björklången is nice.
Thanks to Juho Hänninen's announcement to drive in Sweden with Fiesta WRC (and also because of VW and Loeb), I was urged to get myself on the snowbanks of Rally Sweden, and that seems to be the case now, even if it was last minute. Let's hope Juho deliveres, we have the new flag prepared... I am a first timer for the rally, so if you feel like it, PM or post here as many tips as you like for places to spectate, move around between stages, etc. Thanks to those that have already helped.
Just in case you are still wondering whether to go or not, it looked that it's not impossible to find accomdation nearby Hagfors. Of course only few options, and those few are too counting out, but still not impossible, I think.

On Vargasen you have on Lövstaholm Larssäter different fast jumps where they jump sideways. Lovely place there.
On Sagen you have Lakotjam on the track go to the left arround the lake. A bit further there (at the lake ) is a large wide left hand corner. A lot of pilots hits the snow banks.
Frederiksberg, just before the FF.
Rämmen go to between the lake and Flasjön, different fast and very large corners, very slippy.
or what's in the bottle
i love it
