Stage description Stage description

The Västervik stage is a hybrid of last year’s Sävar stage and the Västervik stage. The first part runs along the old coastal road, which was used as the Sävar stage in the 2023 Rally Sweden – but in the opposite direction. This section features excellent rally roads with many rhythmic corner combinations. The second part of the stage largely follows the 2024 Västervik stage but includes a new finish section.
