WRC.com - Ostberg fastest on SD
http://www.wrc.com/en/wrc/news/febru...0--12-12-.html
The Norwegian, driving his OneBet-backed Ford Fiesta WRC for the first time after missing the season-opening Rally Monte-Carlo, went quickest on his third and final run through the 6.86km Skalla special stage close to the Torsby service park.
“I have a lot of experience of snow and I’ll try to take advantage of that,” said Østberg, for whom this is his 11th Sweden start.
“My start position is good as well so if I can use everything to my advantage that’s my only hope. The other guys have more experience than me of the new car.
“Everything is new, the car, the team, everything. It’s crazy to drive this car, just fantastic. The speed we’re able to build between the corners is amazing, especially when you find some grip.
“I’m smiling but trying to hold back a little because it’s easy to do small mistakes. It’s a new way of driving,” added Østberg, whose M-Sport-entered car is run by Adapta Motorsport.

Look at the surface of the stage, not too much snow and ice layer becomes gravelly, visible in later runners. To have one faster run during first pass is OK, no gravel and no harm for tyres. And why they were faster in Monte? They were using snow tyres there. Driving on bit snowy surface in - degrees for couple of km does not make much harm for the tyres. But here is very long Shakedown and you can destroy 4 tyres completely in 4 runs.

In the past, the higher the number of spectators on the WRC stages, the more spectator-related problems there were, which often led to the WRC stage to being cancelled or the rally cars passing at...
