He is too old and has no such ambitions any more... But I agree, he is good - in rallies he have done a dozen times and stages he knows better than most.Quote:

I see Grondal and Ostberg +1'07" off Brynildsen...so clearly diffult looks like :s
Very bad also on SS2, 10cm fresh snow on top of the ice!!
Thank you for the weather information, Viking.
Probably it is a bit early, but it is much years ago when a Group N won a round of the Norwegian championship.
The 2WD are suffering a lot(for instance 3 retirements of 7 entries in Peugeot Supercup after SS2) :(
Østberg was really mad at the organisers after the short SS3, he said they had done a lousy job in getting the snow away.
Mikkelsen took time penalty to start 3 or 4 cars later, seems to pay off.
Numedals Rally this week-end ;)

A new interesting duel between Mads Østberg Subaru Impreza WRC S14 and PG Andersson, Skoda Fabia WRC. PG won the first round of the championship, Sigdalsrally, when Østberg stopped on SS3. But because he is swedish, PG won`t score points in the championship. This time Østberg will have to show something better than in the previous rallies (incl. Rally Norway), but PG is of course full of confidence after his two stage wins in RN.Quote:

Valters Focus hasn`t been in action for something like five years now, and he has had to invest in new safetycell fuel tank, new seats and belts among other things, as these items were outdated. Just to update the car safetywise will cost him appr. 10 000 Euros! Then on the other hand, he can afford it...
Has PG Andersson retired on SS2 ??? :confused:

Edit: Andersson is here but lost...6 minutes :s
