Regarding this rally I dare say it's not all over. It seems that if Ogier does not push Loeb can catch up but if Ogier does push he might make a mistake so there is still some tension.

Regarding VW's pace we should wait for the gravel rallies but I think Citroen are in a bit of trouble. I think they weren't expecting the Polo to be so fast and regarding the driver's title they don't have an all round driver that can beat Ogier. Mikko could win on gravel and Sordo can on tarmac but if the Polo shows the same pace on gravel then to me Ogier is the favourite for the WDC. Citroen do have a good chance at the WCC though because VW have Latvala and Citroen still have Loeb for some rallies and two other reliable drivers.

I hope not. The championship can get pretty interesting even on the manufacteur side with current line-ups, and without Loeb.

You must be joking. This year has Ogier - VW writing all over the place. (If you haven't noticed he is dominating this rally's thread, yep Sweden!) Travel back in time to Gronholm-Peugeot 2002 and Loeb-Citroen 2005 to bring similar road position rules. Ogier is the all-rounder of the field, Latvala is fast and improving on tarmac albeit generally still unreliable while Hirvonen and Sordo are stationary, good on gravel only and good on asphalt only respectively. Only opposition's DNFs will keep them alive. I will go as far to bet that Sordo will not manage to win a tarmac rally this year. Where you had Loeb-Citroen just write over Ogier-VW.

Damn the stream is nice, looks great even on my 60" tv.
SVT delivers as always!

Back in 2004 there was for the first time a non scandinavian winner of rally sweden, he almost destroyed WRC after that, lets hope we don´t see the same again

I prefer to believe that a Ogier's win here will mean something similar to Sainz's one in 1000 Lakes 1990.

I wouldn't say last nine years Loeb was driving for pleasure.

Of course I didn't mean it literally .

This live streraming should be joined to the splits.
For example split 4 in WRC.com splits would have camera icon on it
and there should be a straight link to the streaming.


It would take two or three cameras in one split.
U could 3 stages with nine cameras. (driven x2 thats nine stages.)
Should be much cheaper than using helicams.

When they both work in real time who needs live TV?

JML really aggressive in this stage... looks like he's overdriving the car.

When I see Latvala driving in a SSS, I always remember Poland 2009.

Nice pics changing tyres before this stage:
