1968 KAK Rallyt (Swedish Rally)

Overview

The 1968 KAK Rallyt was a brutal test of winter driving, pushing crews through Sweden’s snow-packed forests and icy countryside. Drivers faced whiteout conditions, frozen brake lines, and mechanical fatigue in the frigid Scandinavian cold.


Route

Distance: ~1,756 km
Surface: Snow and ice
Challenges: Deep snowbanks, frozen surfaces, and stud wear

The route wound through the central and northern regions of Sweden, with stages on ice-covered gravel roads, snow-laden forest paths, and frozen lake crossings. Visibility was often poor, and temperatures dropped well below freezing during night stages.

Drivers relied on throttle control and rally instincts to hold speed without slipping off narrow snow corridors.

Navigation & Challenges

Navigation was as much about reaction as memory—co-drivers dealt with ice-covered notes and poor landmarks, while drivers tackled treacherous braking zones and frost-covered jumps.

  • Navigation: Tough visibility and mirrored turns in tree-lined stages
  • Challenges: Black ice, deep snow ruts, and frozen brake fluid
  • Strategy: Save the tires, conserve visibility, and carry momentum through snow corners

KAK 1968 rewarded cool heads and warm tires—it was Sweden’s signature ice gauntlet.
