1. INTRODUCTION AND WELCOME We are looking forward to once again welcome the Swedish Rally Championship to Karlstad and Rally Sweden. New for this year is that one of the special stages will actually cross the border into our neighbouring country Norway. Location The rally in will, as previous years, be based in Karlstad with stages run in the counties of Värmland and Dalarna. This year the competitors in the Swedish Championship will have the overnight parc ferme located in Hagfors. The service park will be established at Hagfors airport as in 2010. The set up of the service park will be on the tarmac surface of the runway. Elite Stadshotellet in Karlstad will once again host the HQ as the infrastructure and hotel capacity necessary for hosting the event is available in the city. Itinerary The total distance for the Swedish championship competitors is 679 km and the 8 special stages will cover 129 km in total. The rally will start from the service park I Hagfors on Friday 11 February and end at the super special stage on Färjestad trotting course Saturday 12 February. Section 1 will be run in the western part of Värmland including a regroup in the town of Torsby. Beside the Vargåsen stage presenting the famous Colins Crest jump, the highlight of the day will be the Løvhaugen stage, crossing the border twice between Sweden and Norway. During Saturday the drivers will cross the county border to Dalarna and run classic stages as Sågen and Fedriksberg. The day will also include the arena stage running down the ski slope in Hagfors, introduced in 2010 before the final stage at Färjestad trotting course. We hope this document will be helpful in your preparations for the event. Welcome to Rally Sweden in February! Best Regards Bertil Klarin Clerk of the course 4
