A fast forest stage in central Umeå in the I20 zone. First off a few high-speed straights with some sudden road changes in between. Next is the stretch that was the SS 1/8 Umeå Sprint with hairpins and 90-degree turns, and the stage finishes at The Red Barn Arena in front of a huge crowd, with three spectacular jumps and speeds of up to 150 km/h.
Respect the military protection area – no spectators allowed! (This has been extended since last year.)
Spectator Area 1 – Sandbacka This spectator spot contains two right turns, where the other turn is a 90 degree turn. In order for the rally cars to gain speed towards the straight that comes after the second turn, they need to find a good "rhythm" in this part of the stage.
Spectator Area 2 – The Red Barn Arena The epicentre of Rally Sweden. This is where it all happens, and where the day ends. Also the venue for the Powerstage with extra points for the five fastest. A nice walk or a short trip on the free bus from Umeå city centre. This is the WRC’s hottest arena, in what’s known as the I20 zone. Spectacular jumps and top-speed straights, Food Courts, VIP areas and live artists. This is the place to get the full Rally Sweden experience, with a festive party atmosphere for all the family. After the day’s races, on Thursday to Saturday it’s time for After Rally in the party tent. We look forward to seeing you! Welcome to The Red Barn Arena!
