The rally cars arrive at top speed across the field and turn onto the smaller road where the start was previously located, pass a few crests, and disappear into the forest on the older part of the stage. Long view.
At the spectator area in Gullbäck, the cars will pass several fields and across farmyards before reaching a tricky right-angle turn onto the much narrower rally road through the pine forest.
Here the snowmobile audience can see the rally cars pass between houses and out onto a short new loop with a left-hand curve before they cross a field at high speed, then reach a tricky right-hand bend and continue across farmyards and past some houses.
This is a standout location with a large screen, VIP tent, and opportunities to test-drive cars and watch WRC action. Stage Event Brännfors is like a mini Red Barn Arena right on the stage. Here, you can feel the rush of air from the world’s toughest rally cars. Truly Closer to Rally – at Stage Event Brännfors.
At Stage Event Brännfors can watch the competition on the big screen, enjoy food and drinks in the VIP tent provided by Vännäs Hotel or bring family and friends for a fun-filled day organised by Vännäs municipality, including a funfair and various activities.

For those who want to see the rally cars at really high speed before they reach the intersection that ends the spectator area, the Power Line is for you. Here, the rally cars hit the rev limiter for a good while before they have to time their braking well at spectator area 4/D. Here, the sound experience is a big part of the attraction. Long view.
The road features another sharp right-hand turn, leading to a steep climb where speed and precision are key.

This stage, which has become a classic since the rally moved to Umeå, begins with a new, very fast section before the rally cars arrive at a right turn and the old part of the stage. Here begins with a long, fast section over open fields and farmyards before entering a forested area that leads to the junction at Gullbäck. Drivers will need to carefully manage their braking before a sharp right turn onto a wide, fast descent. The stage then continues along a quick village road towards Brännfors – arguably the rally’s best spectator spot – where the cars traverse open fields with long, clear views before reaching the narrow bridge over the Tvärån stream. The bridge is a particularly tight and undulating section. After crossing the bridge, the road widens again and speeds pick up towards the junction at Tväråbäck. Following this junction, the stage features its fastest segment, allowing drivers to push their cars to the limit before reaching the junction at Önskanäs. The final part of the stage winds through forested areas and across open fields on fast country roads before the finish, which has been moved, extending the stage with an additional 100 meters before ending at Fällfors.
