ERC Holjes - Sweden
Is there someone who has allready been to Holjes ?
If anybody can help me to find a B&B, I should be very happy. It doesn't have to be close to the circuit. Thanks. |

Nope, no B&B in those so-called Finn Woods. Yep, hotels are available, but not close to the circuit anyway. One needs to drive at least 40 to 50 kms, to more southern places in Sweden or to places in Norway. |

Doing Holjes without staying in the woods at the track is like jelly without ice cream.
You can find places to stay some freinds rent a house nearby but its probably more expensive than the best hotel in Stockholm. |

I once rented a so-called "Stugan" at the skiing resort Brannäs, about 40 kms south of Höljes. But IMO that is only an interesting alternative if a group of at least 3 or 4 people is sharing the costs.

You can try one of these places. Långberget have a website in English. At Branäs there are buses to the track, to the race and the entertainment at Saturday night.

@ Eye: I guess the 'Wärdshus' is always fully booked already after the ERC round of the previous year… 'Långberget' was usually booked by the officials, possibly still these days… 'Värmlandsporten' is a bloody long way to go. I stood there one year, as it was (and still is?) run by four times ERC winner Olle Arnesson or actually his sambo Gun-Britt.

I would suggest just stay at the "camping" near the circuit: it is one massive folk party! Starting already on thursday (there is also driving for press day)...

I asked my colleague JKR where to stay. I've got a hotel in Norway, Trysil. About 60 km from Holjes. You will not get much closer, or you should stay at a camping.

The entrylist on Rallycross.com looks promising... Only Kuypers and Pauwels are missing at the moment...

I go to Höljes know for the third time in a row and i have to say:
The camping around the track make it the best race there is! (including the pressday and supper national and thespectaculair track) But everybody is nice and it is a real party!! One thing i can not sat from the france erc (were i prefere a hotel) The entrylist is awsome! one question for the guru!(or somebody else). I read in the regulations that there is a maximum of starters in the erc (90) and in SN (20). But know there are 99 drivers on the list (ERC) without the 2 expected russian drivers. What are the going to do in this kind of situation! Whaterver it is i will leave on wednesday and looking (again) really forward to the best race of the year!!! |

Too bad the washmachine broke ($$$) and I can get off early enough: only possible option would be to fly from Eindhoven at Friday 4PM to arrive in Stockholm at 6PM and than rent a car (not cheap for 1 person) and drive 7-8 hours... Do-able but not easy to achive... For those flying to Oslo (which is closer to the track): there are rumors about some sort of strike some dag next week! Be aware and check the news! |

Quote from the current FIA rules: 4. ORGANISATION OF EVENTS 4.2 The maximum total number of starters for all Divisions will be specified in the Specific Regulations of each Event. In a meeting of the FIA European Rallycross Championships, no other race may be organised with the exception of a support race with not more than 20 cars. |

@ paul1982: Just understood from Frank Van Rooy that the Höljes organisers have restricted their event to a max of 90 starters in their supp regs. I did only check the FIA regs so far. However, I think that in this case some entries on the list will be refused in due time to keep it to 90.

What will the order be? First come, first to drive? Standings in ERC? And which Division will be limited?

Do not forget, an entrant is not automaticly a starter! And due to the rules "priority will be given to the 15 leading point scorers in each Division in the Championship classification".

I like the politically correct use of a Euro flag Edd!! If I was you I would put the German one back up! You deserve to! At least we can claim a few ERC titles over Germany!!
