1. WELCOME AND INTRODUCTION

Welcome to the 63rd edition of Rally Sweden!

The rally will take place 11 – 14 February in the regions of Värmland and Dalarna and we will also visit our neighbouring country Norway.

LocationsIn accordance to the request received from the FIA and the Manufacturers, the Service Park will be es-tablished in Karlstad Harbour, less than 2 km from the City Centre. This means that the start and finish of the rally, the Service Park, Rally HQ (Karlstad Congress and Culture Center, KCCC), Karlstad SSS and Parc Ferme all will be located in Karlstad within a distance of 5 km (see city map in Appendix 2).

RouteThe total length of the route is 1634 km and the special stages covers 331 km. About one third of the special stages kilometres are new compared to last year. The start of the rally and SS 1 will take place in Karlstad on Thursday evening 11 February. On Friday the rally will, in addition to the stage Torsby, visit Norway for some stages; Röjden (with start and finish of the stage in Sweden), the new stage Svullrya and Kirkenær. The classic stages Fredriksberg (in reversed order), Rämmen and Vargåsen with the famous Colin’s Crest will together with the the short Hagfors Sprint form the competitive sections of Saturday. The day will close with a second run on the SSS in Karlstad.

On Sunday the stage Lesjöfors will be run before Värmullsåsen is repeated twice, the second time as the final stage of the rally as well as power stage.

Rally Sweden HistoricFor information, a rally with historic cars will take place on Friday and Saturday in conjuction to the WRC rally. They will drive SS2, SS3, SS6, SS7 on Friday and SS 10, SS11, SS12, SS15 and SS17 on Saturday.

We hope you will find this document informative and helpful in your preparations.

Welcome to a magic rally week in Sweden and Norway!

Rally SwedenOrganising Team

FIA Environment accreditationRally Sweden has become the first motor sport event in the world to achieve accreditation from the FIA Insti-tute’s environment programme. The framework forms part of a broader initiative between the FIA and the FIA Institute aimed at evaluating and reducing the environmental impact of motor sport.

One important factor is the number of print-outs made from various documents. Rally Guide 1 og 2 will only be published on the event website and a bare minimum of supplementary regulations will be copied for the key officials and competitors.

We would appreciate all competitors joining us for this management by informing us early the number of Road Books and other printed documents they need (should be less than the regulatory package), so we do not end up throwing a lot of unused materieals to recycling. THIS DOCUMENT HAS NO REGULATORY POWER - FOR INFORMATION ONLY!

ClimateGiven Norways extreme northerly position, its mainland climate is surprisingly mild. Norway is the north-ernmost country in the world to have open waters. This is due to the trade winds forced across the Atlantic Ocean by the American continent and the warm currents (known as the Gulf Stream) flowing north from the Equator towards the Norwegian Sea. The lowest minimum temperature recorded is -51 °C in Karjohka - Karasjok in northern Norway. Winter season is from November to March with January and February as the coldest months of the year, normally with temperatures below zero degrees Celsius.
