The hub of the rally is the service park and HQ in Karlstad. The service park, like in 2023, is located in the southern parking lot at F\u00e4rjestad. New this year is that the HQ will move to L\u00f6fbergs Arena. In addition to race control, media center, rally office, and similar facilities, there will also be restaurants, bars, and exhibitions open during the competition.<\/p>\n
The rally kicks off on Thursday with Shakedown B\u00e4ck-Hult. Free Practice and a Qualifying Stage are also held here, determining the starting order for the rally. The evening concludes in V\u00e4lsviken, just outside central Karlstad, where the Official Opening is held, and the rally starts with the spectacular SS BAUHAUS – which runs right by the BAUHAUS store.<\/p>\n
Friday’s stages are largely familiar from last year. The day begins with SS Gr\u00f6nlund, a new stage in this year’s BAUHAUS Royal Rally of Scandinavia, followed by SS Bondestad. The stage partly resembles last year’s Tolita. Classic SS Colin\u2019s, with its famous jump at the end, awaits before the leg concludes with SS G\u00e5rdsj\u00f6 outside Sunne. At lunch service and in the evening, you’ll have the opportunity to see the cars go over the ramp at Karlstad Service Park.<\/p>\n
Saturday takes us east from Karlstad. SS \u00d6lme starts the day, followed by SS Lungsund and SS \u00c4ngeb\u00e4ckstorp. SS M\u00f6lnbacka finishes the loop, with the second lap serving as the final Power Stage. The rally finishes at Karlstad Service Park with the Official Prize Giving.<\/p>\n
