Overview

Event Name: 2015 Rally Sweden

Date: February 12–15, 2015

Start Location: Karlstad, Sweden

Finish Location: Karlstad, Sweden

Total Distance: 1,465 km (308 km competitive)

Participating Teams: 56 crews

A classic WRC winter challenge, Sweden delivered sub-zero temperatures, snowbanks, and one of the tightest finishes in rally history.

Route

Vargåsen Stage: Home to the famous Colin’s Crest jump.
Norwegian Loops: Cross-border stages into Norway’s forests.
Frozen Highways: Long, flat-out sections demanding absolute trust in studded grip.

Snowbanks acted as both friend and foe — useful for leaning the car but brutal if hit wrong.

Navigation & Challenges

  • Stud Preservation: Losing studs early meant massive time loss.
  • Visibility: Snow dust in daylight stages reduced sight lines.
  • Ice Ruts: Deepening with each pass, changing car behavior.

Sweden proved yet again why winter mastery is a rare and valuable skill in rallying.
