The Västerbotten rally weekend proved to be a huge success, attracting 16,800 spectators to the Red Barn Arena, marking the largest turnout since the event relocated from Värmland. The weather was cooperative, being cool yet sunny and still, creating an enjoyable atmosphere for fans and competitors alike. Among the notable performances was Oliver Solberg, a local driver who secured a commendable fourth place following his victory in Monte Carlo.

Looking forward, plans for the future of the rally seem promising. There are agreements in place for the event to be hosted in Umeå again in 2027, and discussions of extending these agreements are already underway. Investors from the international rally circuit were reportedly pleased with the weekend's events, providing optimism for continued investment in the region. Anna Nordkvist, CEO of Rally Sweden, reflected positively on the investors’ feedback, indicating that the event aligned perfectly with their investment goals.

On a local entrepreneurial front, there is an initiative underway where local business owners are exploring the possibility of purchasing Rally Sweden from the Swedish Automobile Sports Federation. This local interest echoes the rally's importance not just as a sporting event but as a significant economic catalyst for the community, which underscores the rally's integral role in Västerbotten's cultural and economic landscape.
