Rally Sweden 2013

Matthew Wilson will run in place of Nasser Al-Attiyah. Al-Attiyah being sick.

[Rallyper]

You got it right, Rallyper got it wrong ;) There is a gray road on the map coming from SP2 though but I'm pretty sure that's not open, would get you 200m before the spot if it was.

Does anybody know if this road from Sunnemo towards Lesjöfors is open? It would save me some time going from Höje where i live to Lesjöfors.



I was describing a spot where the cars are going out on a quite newbuild bank over the small lake Flåsjön. As I can see you mean the lakeside of Holmsjön, as described. My wrong. Sorry.
SP 2 walking 800m in cars direction is a good spot too.

I must say: why not Petter or PG

[Delta_HF]

Should be a good toe to toe with Hirvonen and Latvala ! :D

[Delta_HF]

I still think they need some more snow over there, even though its reported snow around Hagfors and Karlstad ! :D

This is my little movie from last year and it begins with one of the jumps in "Fredriksberg".... Was only there for one day last year.

[Fly_Half]

Found the jump in the first clip, not that big as you can see.
Svenska rallyt, mads.m4v - YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwTMIz53rDM)

Good find, and you're right the jump doesn't look very good...but the corner after it looks superb!

[Rallyper]

The forecast on Swedish television www.svt.se (http://www.svt.se) (link "väder" upper side of pic) says 5-15 cm of snow (locally up to 30 cm) next couple of days in Värmland... Not good for 1 st car on the road...

[SunDanceRanch]

Yes it is snowing all day now there is falling almost 15 till 20 centimeters snow now and it should not stop till wednesday.

So guys drive carefull when you come to here and take a little more time for it.
Have fun all.

Greetings Dimitry

Nasser out from Rally Sweden and Wilson in!

Nasser out from Rally Sweden and Wilson in!
I can detect how excited this news has made you!!! :rotflmao:

[Astro83]

It will be great to see Wilson compete again! :)

[rallye-vid]

Would be better to donate the money to poor people instead of let him driving ...

[SubaruNorway]

Am i right in thinking that the place where Henning and Sthol rolled is just after SP2 at Värmullsåsen?
At 6:15 Not a very easy place to film but would be fun to know.
Rally Sweden 2011 Jimmy Joge SS7 Värmullsåsen - YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hWHSDV0idF8)

[Astro83]

So you don't think that Wilson is a good/ok wrc driver?? :) Is Nasser better? Hell no.. But close.. ;)

[dupanton]

So you don't think that Wilson is a good/ok wrc driver?? :) Is Nasser better? Hell no.. But close.. ;)

He is from the same level as Al-Attiyah I think. But he uses his own money to rally, logical. But with that budget, they would have better supported someone else. Why not putting PG in the car, he can even challenge for the win in it!

[Astro83]

It's all about the money! They Needs Nasser for the money not for results, PG is a much better driver then Wilson and Nasser together of course! But this is about money...

PG would be a dream but that I dont even want to think about because it will never happend! ;)

So I will rather see Wilson or Solberg in that car insted of no one! ;)

[Mintexmemory]

I did infact predict that if Nasser was ever absent who would be taking over the empty Fiesta - Isn't Scott Martin assigned to co-drive somone else?

[pucky54]

Isn't Scott Martin assigned to co-drive somone else?

Martin is co-driving Al-Qassimi.
Wilson is starting with Bernacchini

[Gard]

It's one thing Wilson is good at. that is to bring the car home. With Petter or PG, it's a fair chance that the car will need a major rebuild.

[danon]

Would be better to donate the money to poor people instead of let him driving ...

same goes to the so called by himself "hyena in action" - Prokop

[Prisoner Monkeys]

I must say: why not Petter or PG
This "There's a seat! Petter should have it!" attitude is ridiculous. He is not the be-all and end-all when it comes to rallying. If he was, he'd have a full-time seat this year.

From the sounds of things, Solberg burned all of his bridges at Ford. I've heard that the team weren't happy with his performances throughout 2012. Assuming that is true for the moment, why would Ford then turn around and give him a seat?

[Rallyper]

The answer is easy; In order to take points in championship, or just having one more very fast driver in Ford team even if it´s one-shot. Not hard to defend. I should say even PG would be a better choice. But- don´t forget MW can very well score an 7th or 8th. No sensation in that.

[Hartusvuori]

Speaking of Henning Solberg, any signs of him yet? Recce is on today, hopefully someone reports.

[Astro83]

Just to be clear, I was thinking of Henning Solberg or Wilson... But PG would be the clear choose if they want a big chans of bringing home good points. I think that Wilson will fight guys up on 10th position...

I do not agree with some of you guys who speak of Solberg and PG together,that they retire often after stupid misstakes....

Solberg did last year...

As for PG, he did not, it's that ****ing low class factoryteam Proton who can't deliver a safe snd proper rallycar. PG dors not often go of the road, it's always tec problems!

[cali]

Some guys have always more technical problems and it's not always the car to blame. Some drivers are too "violent"

[Mad cat jnr]

Well said Cali.

You also have to remember Wilson has been driving the car lately in testing/development where as PG hasnt driven one or tested so would no where near be on the pace. Plus I suspect the fact that PG would have to adapt to Giovanni would also slow him down.

[bjalverud]

My video from last year. The other little jump and crest into a right hander is not run on Finnskogen stage this year.

Hello
Where is the place at 4:39 ?

[Mintexmemory]

Adapting to Gio will also be a problem for MW, unless Signor Bernacchini has mastered Cumbrian vowel sounds! Also what is this 'pace' of which you speak?

[Mad cat jnr]

It will be alot easier for Wilson as Gio delivers the notes in English for Nasser and that is Wilsons 1st langauage, when you try and get a driver who is used to notes in Swedish to drive to notes in English (and write them in English) you always going to have an extra barrier, added to an unfamiliar car with no testing?

I co-drove on the Isle of Man for a Belgian driver and that was tough, the notes were written in a Flemish style, and read in English so it took the driver alot more time to work out what was coming up.

I will leave home in half an hour, take the ferry across the Baltic tonight and arrive tomorrow at the rally area. Bring on Sweden!

My ultra-sophisticated guess for top 5 ;) :

1. Hänninen
2. Latvala
3. Hirvonen
4. Nikara
5. Ketomaa

Seriously, throw in Loeb and Östberg and throw out Nikara and Ketomaa we could have a top 5 there. Oh wait, Ogier's running too... and Novikov... hmm. It'll be a nail-biting weekend!

[Frostmourne]

My ultra-sophisticated guess for top 5 ;) :

1. Hänninen
2. Latvala
3. Hirvonen
4. Nikara
5. Ketomaa


Very Finnish guess :) .... I support Finnish drivers all the way :D ....... wish Nikara and Hänninen will do good in this rally.

[Astro83]

Welcome to Stockholm my finnish friend! ;)

Take it easy with the ladys on the ferry! ;)

I would love to see Latvala on the podium, but top 5 and all finnish drivers... Hell no! :D

[peg306]

The forecast on Swedish television www.svt.se (http://www.svt.se) (link "väder" upper side of pic) says 5-15 cm of snow (locally up to 30 cm) next couple of days in Värmland... Not good for 1 st car on the road...
I live approx 50 km south of Fredriksberg, and we had about 15 cm last night. It's still snowing but not so heavy, and it will continue tomorrow and halfway into thursday according to local forecast :) so there should be plenty of snow by the time the rally starts.

Hello
Where is the place at 4:39 ?

Hey,

I'm not sure but there is a very simular place on Vargasen. I think it's over there. Anyhow that place I mention is also full of sideways jumps into very fast corners!
On N60.040032°, E13.313456° you go to the left. About a length of 500 metres you'll find the place.
Less 1 day before leaving to Sweden

[bjalverud]

Thanks a lot, we're also leaving tomorrow morning, enjoy !

[Delta_HF]

More snow forecast tomorrow, looking more like Classic Sweden. :D

[Delta_HF]

Need to get to 15 posts then I can show you snow in Fredriksberg ha! ;) )

[Delta_HF]

That's 7 now :)

Hello
Where is the place at 4:39 ?
This place is in Finnskogen stage and is not used in 2013. Information from video owner SubaruNorway.

[MikeD]

Would be better to donate the money to poor people instead of let him driving ...

So far, the funniest comment of 2013 :D

On a serious note, it's a disgrace that Al-Attiyah's seat isn't give to an experienced fast driver or an upcomming Swedish talent that has trouble finding sponsors. It's really soooo unprofessional trying to run a business and then let your useless son run a WRC car, instead of doing what is best for the sport, which would be to go for excisting talent or future talent.

I kind of agree, but considering extremely short notice I can't blame Wilson&Wilson. What could young driver do with absolutely no testing and new codriver do?

As i said previously that place is not ran on Finnskogen this year.

I'm sure that if someone had thrown a bag full of Krone at Malc he'd have been very happy. He is running a business, not a charity. You don't know whether there were any behind the scenes offers to the organisers before Mad Matt was parachuted in, probably in the absence of any takers. Personally I'd have said that asking Kris Meeke to step in would have been doing 'what is best for the sport' but as Nasser has paid for the gig I imagine he had a pretty big say in this outcome.

[MikeD]

I kind of agree, but considering extremely short notice I can't blame Wilson&Wilson. What could young driver do with absolutely no testing and new codriver do?

I would have offered the seat to PG Andersson or Tänak or P.Solberg or Atkinson or Meeke or basically anybody else to improve the sport and the spectacle instead of giving the car to the poorest WRC driver ever, just because he happens to be the son of the team owner. That's not really World Championship level, is it?

[Mintexmemory]

the poorest WRC driver ever

I can understand he isn't your cup of tea (he isn't mine) but try to resist the hyperbole. There are a number of regular WRC drivers whose records are worse over the same period of the famous 5-year plan, indeed there are a number I'd be willing to bet you will finish behind him in Sweden.

[tolis]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BCWoDzkCQAADzOQ.jpg:large

[Delta_HF]

I am thinking there are a few top drivers this year in with a chance of winning Sweden, wonder if Loeb could pull out another performance like 2004. :) )

[MrJan]

However, choosing someone like Solberg or Meeke would get you not only a driver likely to score a better result but also far more positive publicity, especially off the back of Meeke being on Top Gear and thus now being in the consciousness of the general public.

As you say Nasser's money probably had a big say...although I suspect that M-Sport offering a saving for this event is what led to Wilson getting the drive, rather than it being Al Attiyah's real opinion.

JML:
First day of recce: 641kms and 11h. It has been snowing 20cms in rally area and it looks like a winter rally. Not as much snow as in last 3 years but road conditions are good!

Matt Wilson the 'worst WRC driver ever'? You don't half see some bollocks on the Internet these days.

Back on topic, glad to hear there's been a dump of snow out there, I was starting to worry a bit! We've more or less finalised our plans now, but we're struggling for a good location in Finnskogen and Sagen. Any help would be appreciated...

Marre: Yes i does! "Rally SM-sprinten" was broadcast live on SVT play and many on this forum watched it so it works! ;)

But I'm leaving for Rally Sweden tomorrow morning so I cant help you guys with links on SVT Play but you will figure it out your self! ;)

The geographical limits varies from one program to another.
Its completely dependent on which program it is and what rights SVT have to that particular program.
So some programs can be watched from anywhere in the world, while some others only can be watched from within Sweden only.

Basically its down to what SVT and the rights holder have agreed upon in the contract.
I am sure that SVT wouldn't mind making it available to the whole world but limitations in their rights prevent them from doing it.

[Mad cat jnr]

Maybe something to do with Prevot co-driving for Atkinson in Mexico?

Also looks like Henning is just using his road car for recce...

[stefanvv]

Just a small tip for those members who like a small wager- Juho is 40-1 for Rally Sweden on Bet365 with 1/3 being paid for 2nd place. I've had a cheeky £1 each way

Prokop has 126/1. I think someone might take his chance for fortune :D

Prokop has 126/1. I think someone might take his chance for fortune :D

:D The betting companies don't often get it wrong except when there is little previous form. Whoever is advising them on the odds clearly doesn't have the whole picture where Hanninen is concerned as they have him at the same odds as Henning! It is possible to imagine circumstances where Juho might win but the 'Hyena' - not while Matthew W is still running!!

Check the list 2013 FIA WRC Manufacturer Entries - Rally Sweden | Federation Internationale de l'Automobile (http://www.fia.com/news/2013-fia-wrc-manufacturer-entries-rally-sweden)

[bluuford]

They have used the rule that a few days before the rally you can change only one of the crew members (driver or co-driver). Every other thing should remain unchanged, including Manufacturer Team nomination (They didnt changed the crew, just one member). So, it should be Wilson/Bernacchini and Neuville/Gilsoul for Qatar WRT.
Rule:
21.4 CHANGE OF ENTRANT AND/OR CREW MEMBER(S)
A change of entrant is permitted up to the close of entries.
After closure of entries, one member of the crew may be replaced with the agreement of:
- The organisers, before the start of the administrative checks.
- The Stewards, after the commencement of these checks and before the publication of the list of crews eligible to take the start.
Only the FIA may authorise the replacement of both crew members or the entrant.

Nice by Mads and pontus. Norwegian victory at sunday! All scandinavian at the podium!

[Hartusvuori]

First impressions:
- Ogier, breathtaking fast. Smooth yet aggressive driving. Will win this.
- Latvala, Loeb, Hirvonen. Super fast, not much difference to each other. One could win this if so.
- Östberg. Really fast, but not fully clean driving. That'll either loose him time or the whole rally. Maybe too much pressure?
- Tidemand. Okeyish, but not clean. Some good stage times, maybe. Hopefully gets full mileage.
- Hänninen, Sordo. Okeyish, fast and clean but not superfast.
- Ketomaa, Wilson, Solberg, Nikara. Decent, but missing the wow effect. Prokop in similar level.

Pretty much said after 3,99 km´s QS.. I think you might next oracle ;) ;)

Novikov?

[6789]

I think Jari-Matti Latvala will take this.. Based on my non-biased observations from the other side of the world :D

Some interesting feedback from QS, 2013 could be the birth of another long WRC title reign?

[Delta_HF]

3.4 secs between 1st and 8th, SSS1 Karlstad will be interesting tonight, especially between Loeb and Ogier. :D
Who was that Father Christmas ha!?

[skarderud]

Latvala, i think eighter win, or not finishing, same with Mads. Ogier, well, i really don't like that guy, he is undoubtelly fast, but his ego is in his way, that can end his rally too.
but the first part of this years rally, will stay between these guys, who will end in the forrest first? :)

[wrchirek]

Henning starts with the M-Sport test car. Full white, without any sponsors.

I think Ogier is the one who could fail. JML and Mads have both proved to be fast and consistent in Sweden later years.

I don't know. MW has the ability to make the worst out of his drivers

[bluuford]

Novikov?

Maybe was too fast and did not noticed him :-P


Weather looks to come very beautiful and calm (some sun, some clouds). Temeperature mostly between -5.. and -10 for next couple of days, maybe some light snow overnight but no too much (so, first on the road might not be the best place.. I think last on the road is not too good either - soft snowalls are already well "used". Next new snow is expected from Saturday evening and on Sunday morning.

[Mad cat jnr]

I think 5th/6th will be the ideal place, going off Mads' performance last year.

[Zeropt]

Loeb... y u no go faster?

Because Sweden! :D

Go Latvala & Østberg :up:

[Rallyper]

The Fiesta of Mads sounds very, very powerful.

[Miika]

Polo for the win, doesn´t even matter which one.

[Rallyper]

Now I´m leaving for Gustafsström and the accomodation for this weekend (nearby Fredriksberg stage). maybe we´ll see each other somewhere guys. We should need some well known signs - maybe someone could come up with a "motorsportforums" cap or jacket, T-shirt (too cold for RS though) so we easily can identify all our brothers...?


Let the best man win. (Hirvonen will surprise us all...)

[Hartusvuori]

Jeppe, first impressions, subjective first impressions - not master's thesis or even an application for clairvoyant's apprentice. :-) But sure, the rally starts tomorrow.

Per, Novikov falls into same category as Hänninen. Top5 fast?

[makinen_fan]

Does anyone known when is the starting position selection?

I think Hirvonen can only surprise us by not winning this rally.

Dala-Demokraten » Gustafsson rammad på rekognoseringen (http://dalademokraten.se/2013/02/07/gustafsson-rammad-pa-rekognoseringen/)

Hasse Gustafsson got his recce-Subaru rammed by Prokops mechanics on the liason between two SS. The mechanics was playing in an EVO 8. Amateurs....

[uranium]

Why some drivers have 2 minutes gap, some 1 minute?

[Hartusvuori]

It's btw snowing quite nicely now in Hagfors. Better for the pictures than the rally though, I think.

[Nornbugger]

I don't know. MW has the ability to make the worst out of his drivers


still a bit bitter after Petters showing last year??

Now off to recce Lesjöfors and some other stages. According to Benniz the road up to the middle of Sågen is not open. He tried to drive out again from the stage so doubt he missed it. Anyone got any other info about that?
