A.RT Ford UK makes debut
Roy look forward to season snow start

A new year a new team. The Dutch/United Kingdom team A.RT Ford UK makes it debut in CMR2 Uddeholm Swedish Rally. Both nominated drivers 'Roy' and 'Racer69' drives this rally. They do selected events. Monte was to early in the season. They had no time for it. The team look forward to the first rally on same surface. "It is an important and nice rally."

Roy: "Sweden is a must. Driving on snow is what I enjoyed. I know these rally by training and driving for hobby. Driving against the worlds best CMR2 drivers is new for me on snow.
'Roy' makes his debut in CMR2 last year and starts with a 5th place in Japan followed by a 4th in Ireland. "It was crazy last year. I was near the subtop. I haven't expected that result.
"For Sweden the plan is to finish in the points for the team. We saw in Monte
CMR2 has many teams now. It means we have to drive our car in top ten or in points too if we want collected manu.points. That gives us a lot of pressure, but that's OK."

Ice is Nice!
(Additional information 1: is in swedish means ice, which makes it a little more fun...)
(Additional information 2: my ice-car is named Ice is Nice, and has blue stickers on it with its pride name...that would be had though )
(Additional information 3: my small boat is named Ice is Nice since it is very good to break ice with when it is cold

I will come back to you with remarks regarding the rally...

I love the snow stages. I will compete in this one and my times shouldn't be weird..no mirrored stages

Took the C4 out for a run last night and was happy with the results. I've found the following set up seems to suit the car the most (when using the snow tyres and not wet tarmacs!!)

Gearbox -1
Suspension +2
Power bias +2
Brake bias +2
Brake power +2
Steering +3

1:19.43
1:22.84...ooops...pushed too hard on the ice and ended up on a snowbank!
1:19.75
1:18.94

Very happy with those times...the C4 works really well on the snow so i'm hoping to get another good run at this event.

I finished 4th in the last rally, i saw on the times that where i was driving best was on the tarmarc. On the snow i was useless, so i don´t have high hopes for this rally. Eventhough it is my homerally i find it very difficult and i will be very happy if i can be in the Top 8-6!

Racer69 is also looking forward to his first run of the season, he believes the alignment of the A.RT Ford UK team will reap benefits for both drivers;

"The snow in Sweden is quite abit different to the heat and dust in my native Australia, however that doesn't mean a good result is not possible"

"We plan to do as many rounds as we can this season. It was a shame to miss the Monte Carlo, but i'm sure we can do a good job in Sweden"
