Offical Uddeholm Swedish Rally Thread.

I know its a bit early. 2 weeks two early but after Monte Carlo, I can't wait. Who do you think will win and why?

[Tom206wrc]

I will focus on the 207 S2000 battle with GrN cars on snow

Overall, I wait a battle between Bosse and Loeb, with Hirvonen and Solberg brothers just behind...

I'm sure Daniel Carlsson will manage also to take part to top 5 battle...

I expect Manfred Stohl to improve, only in the condition Kronos cured the brakes problem(you absolutely need them on that rally)

I'm curious to see Xsara handling with Pirelli and Galli behind the wheels, knowing that this car, unlike the whale, has always been developped with Michelin

I wonder who from all the Ford Focus privateers army will be the fastest...??

At last, I'm curious for the battle between the slowest of the WRC drivers(the Argentinians of Munchi and our dear Wilslow)

[bstrat]

I think that Gronholm might have a strong chance of winning. Loeb will probably get a podium but it's a big car, on those swedish roads i'm not sure how it will go. I think that Petter and Chris might have a real chance. So will Mikko.

[miksu]

it will be very close between everyone i think. Marcus might have the best chance to win, but behind him are all, Mikko, Petter, Chris, Seb, maybe Jari-Matti and Henning, even Carlson and Garde. It will be very interesting indeed!

No one could imagine Rovanpera would win this rally in 2001. But he did. So... Maybe this year something new happens too? I hope Mikko can fight for the victory.

All very nice, but you did forget Garde in the Lancer

Last year the battle between Carlsson and Galli was fantastic, hopefully it'll be round 2 this year. Although the tyres could spoil it...

If I recall correctly, the tyres aren't a decisive factor in Sweden. I don't think BFG are superior on snow/ice, or am I wrong?

[Tom206wrc]

I also have forgotten to mention Dani Sordo and Chris Atkinson, who both could create a surprise and perform very well like they did in Monte-Carlo earlier

Only if the team doesn't order Mikko to hold back.

I would love to see Sordo being the surprise of the rally but I don't think he's ready for it.




(I wish so much I was wrong.... though)
