International Swedish Rally


95% snow   5% ice
 
 


  Keys to Success
Agressive drivers will take a back seat to those who take caution and drive gently.

Let off gas early and brake well before the corners.

Better to go too slow through a corner than to overrun into the deep snowbanks

Use the snowbank on the inside of a corner to help slow you down if your coming in to fast.
General Overview

The only snow event of the season. The slippery snow and ice roads require a measured approach to cornering but provide the opportunity to perform some impressive power-slides. The careful driver will be rewarded. Be cautious of hitting snow banks as you exit corners. They will impede your progress far more than slowing for the corner in the first place. Let off the gas before you reach the turn so you can come in slow and power out. If your coming in too hot you can even use the snow on the inside of a corner to help slow you instead of trying to lock your wheels. A weak break setting will help keep you from locking your wheels up and front biased power will pull you around but care should still be applied - especially when driving on ice.

Colin's Photo Guide

Trees are usually scattered and far enough off the roadside that they are not an obstacle even in the slippery conditions of Sweden.

The snow banks will be your biggest enemy in Sweden cutting into your lead each time your car drifts a bit too wide.

Like many of the obstacles in Sweden, hitting one of these narrow bridges will usually just slow you down instead of stopping you.

Selecting early braking points and keeping wheel spin to a minimum by gradually accelerating will win you Sweden.

Only two stages are held at night, but often snowy conditions makes for low visibility even during the day.

Only 5% of the entire Rally is ice. It requires even more caution than snow to avoid overshooting corners and loosing time.
