Who should go
head-to-head in
Sweden?

The organisers of Rally Sweden are inviting fans to choose the head-to-head pairings for the Karlstad Super Special Stage that opens the event on February 7th.

Pairing suggestions should be posted on the Rally Sweden Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/OfficialRallySweden

The organisers, in cooperation with the FIA, will divide the heats according to the number of nominations.

Clerk of the Course Bertil Klarin said it is the first time ever that spectators have been able to influence the starting order of a WRC event.

“We tried this idea in the Swedish National Championship event we organised in 2009, which also opened with the Super Special Stage, and the interest was huge and we received a great number of suggestions of interesting duels. Now we want to try the same thing at the WRC level and offer the spectators the opportunity to see their dream heats,” explained Klarin

“Just one look at the entry list for Rally Sweden no doubt gets the imagination going. To put together a number of dream heats amongst all the top drivers won’t be hard,” he added.
