There is plenty of snow in Sweden

Le Rally of Sweden (February 15 to 18) will only start next week, yet we can already be assured ideal track conditions, according to the organizers of the event.

The second round of the World Rally Championship (WRC), the only one on snow, will be contested in the west of Sweden, in the Värmland region, on the border with Norway. In reconnaissance last weekend on the various special stages, the Swedish marshals noted the presence of significant walls of snow along the side of the road, itself covered with a thick layer of snow. These walls of snow will allow cars to stabilize in curves.

The weather forecast predicts negative temperatures will continue until the start of the rally. “Our guys were delighted to see the condition of the trails in the forests, race manager Glen Olsson told wrc.com. The specials are almost perfect. In the last editions, we had a mix of weather conditions (snow, dry weather, etc.), but this time it looks promising for this year, both for the competitors and for the fans. »
