PG Andersson is also unlikely to do a full championship next year.

For this winter's championship winter sprint (during SM-veckan), a record amount of crews/cars have submitted their entry.
128 crews will drive in this year's sprint but that also mean that there only will be two qualification heats
on Saturday, compared to the three that was originally planned. the 40 fastest will advance to Sunday's finals.

This sprint will be held on February 4-5th (the weekend before RS).

At least Sunday's heats will be televised/live streamed.

Well, no offence, but it was Norway, however they belonged to Sweden up to 1905, so never mind.

The legend Mats Jonsson has finally uppgraded to a newer WRC-car. Sold his old Escort WRC to Spain and also the new-build Escort WRC i think. Now he have a Skoda Fabia WRC, maybe ex. PG Andersson.
