Spectator areas

1
Lustigkulla
Here, the rally cars pass on a fast village road with high-speed curves over fields where the spectator area is located. In this spot, the rally audience has a long, clear view. Those who wish to see a different type of rally road can walk a bit further and follow a trail through the forest, alongside the snowmobiles, to reach Spectator Area A. Once you reach the rally road there, it is a significantly smaller road, where there are excellent viewing spots next to the technical and narrow section of the stage, close to where last year's finish line was located.
Field Parking

A
Rörmossan
Reaching the rally road there is a significantly smaller road, where there are nice spectator areas next to the technical and narrow part of the stage, close to where the finish was located last year.
B
Högfors
Here the rally cars come from the smaller road that makes up the horseshoe-shaped part of the stage shortly after the start. The cars pass a few residential houses and cross a four-way intersection before they continue through the sparse forest. Still on a less technical road.
2
Västervik
The rally cars arrive on a narrow and technical forest road, towards a right-left combination before they can stretch out on the long straight stretch towards Västervik.
Road Parking

Rönnäs
The rally cars come in fast toward a left turn at an intersection. Here, the rally cars join the wider and still fast road from Bullmark. The left turn is located just after a downhill section, so it is important to get the angle right to avoid losing time during the road change.
Accessible parking is available, allowing spectators to remain in their vehicles while viewing the rally cars. Arrive early to secure a spot. No accessible toilets are available.

Stage description

This year's version of the Västervik stage is significantly changed from previous years. The driving direction has been altered since last year, which means the start is now in Gullmark and the finish is located just north of gamla kustlandsvägen north of Savar. The stage begins on a fast village road before turning onto a smaller and more technical road until Västervik, where the stage becomes faster again and passes several bogs before coming out onto Bullmarksvägen and becoming a bit faster still, before the stage turns left at Marielund toward the finish on a slightly smaller forest road through wooded areas.

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!
