Spectator areas

1
Häradsvägen
Here, spectators can watch the rally cars pass at high speed along a forest road featuring multiple S-curve combinations. This is a fast section with a long viewing perspective. A bus stop is located nearby.
2
The Pedestrian Bridge
In this area, spectators can watch the rally cars exiting a narrow road change, past the pedestrian bridge and the small parking lot, where the audience can see the cars accelerate through the sweeping curves at the beginning of the waterfront promenade.
3
Kvarnlunden
Here the audience can secure a spot on the sloping hill located by the outdoor gym, which serves as a perfect natural grandstand for the spectators to stand on. From here, the audience can follow the rally cars through the sweeping curves that begin the waterfront promenade. The rally cars then continue past the marina and further out onto the narrow section of the promenade right on the riverbank.
4
Broparken
This spectator area is located in Broparken, just a stone's throw from Umeå's hotels and restaurants. Here, you can follow the rally cars on the big screen while getting really close to the vehicles as they drive straight through Broparken and continue toward another lap on the shakedown stage or to service. This is a unique opportunity to see the rally cars on their transport route, watch the stage on the big screen, and soak up the atmosphere of the WRC rally right in the center of town.

Stage description

A unique shakedown finishing right in the heart of Umeå city. The stage begins with a right-angle turn followed by a road change before the drivers hit a fast countryside road. The route then passes through a forest section and past the first spectator area, featuring a series of fast S-curves, leading directly to another road change and a narrow section. Yet another road change follows before the drivers are treated to a panoramic view of Umeå and the beautiful Ume River as they race along the waterfront promenade. The stage ends at Broparken, just a stone's throw away from the city's hotels and restaurants, where spectators can welcome the drivers and watch everything on the big screen.

Safety information

Snowmobile – stay on the trail. All snowmobile traffic should stay on the trails within the competition area, and all ”free riding” must be avoided. Wild animals and reindeers can be frightened and run towards the rally stages.

Safety Areas. It is important where you as a spectator stand and walk. Stages can be cancelled immediately if you don’t respect the safety areas!
