Does anyone know if Seb is doing Sweden this year. Hasn't generally competed in Sweden since he went part-time but I don't think it clashes with his son's school holidays.

[jcevc]

I think he will miss the Sweden and be present in Kenya - as two tarmac rounds are following and especially in Croatia starting place is pretty important.

At least in RC2 Yuki Yamamoto, Lauri Joona & Fabio Schwarz. Shoud be also Roope Korhonen, Mikko Heikkilä, Mille Johansson & Isak Reiersen. Also Taylor Gill if able to secure the budget.

Looks like there's still problems in Sweden

In the meantime, I am now in Värmland, -12C, winter like from fairy tale. Pity they had to move it up north.

Well, when arguments fail, you use the racist card. It´s a shame, however we will for sure enjoy the rally this year as well. Samis don´t own the public roads, as they even not own the land they try to use as arguments.

That is the shame of all shames.

...entries close today, 13.01. Still no news about Sesks. Pity, i am sure on his 2nd year in Sweden he could be rather fast. M-Sport is hinting that they have done some developments on the car.

If you follow Dakar, you can see how happy is Malcolm there - there is very high chance that Ford will win it all.

Last week Martins Sesks apeared on two podcasts in Latvian media. He did not say anything clear, because apearently nothing is sighned yet, but This is most interesting of what he said:

1. He told that we (latvian fans) should follow rally Entry lists, and we will se something;
2. That similar program to 2025 is probally minimum program- hinting, that he will probaly do more than 7 rounds.
3. He was asked how it is to become known in the world, what celebrity or popular people contacts he has on his phone now. He said: from last week now I have number of CEO (or CEO's son) of Porsche number.

As expected, no Ogier in Sweden, Lappi in Hyundai instead of Paddon, Sesks in Puma Rally1 and Bertelli in Yaris Rally1.

So toyota will sell their seats to privateers. Weird that sesks doesn't go there with his money instead of msport.

value. some prefers to use the same amount of money to do more than one round...

[Negaiss]

Yes, probably Toyota seat costs more, but mainly I think it is because pay toyota seat might be avaialble only on rounds Ogier is not starting.

[wyler]

i also think that prada logo on ogier overall tells a lot!

[pedro16]

And that seat is probably only available when Ogier skips a round.

My Rally Sweden Route Preview:

Not particularly interesting, basically the same as last year, just a few run in reverse + a couple of new roads
