Technical Characteristics<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rally Sweden is run entirely on <strong>snow and ice<\/strong>. Cars use studded winter tyres which provide strong grip on frozen surfaces, but performance depends heavily on precision and the ability to keep momentum through fast, flowing corners.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Snowbanks are a key feature: drivers can lean the car into the bank to stabilize corner exits. If temperatures rise, gravel can break through the snowpack on second passes, changing grip levels and increasing the risk of ruts and punctures.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-spacer\" style=\"height: 25px;\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\u00a0<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Maps &amp; Stages<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stage maps, spectator zones and full stage layout are on <strong>Rally-Maps<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rally-maps.com\/Rally-Sweden-2026\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Rally-Maps: Rally Sweden 2026<\/a>.
