Since 1950, the Rally Sweden was only missing 3 three times from the international rally calendar: it was cancelled in 1974 due to the energy crisis and in 1990 because of too mild weather. In 2009, the Rally Sweden did not take place due to the FIA Rotation System. 26 Thanks to the Sweden Spikes, the grip generated by the World Rally Cars is greater on the ice and snow than it is on a typical gravel rally.
