The official Uddeholm Swedish Rally Thread

[A.F.F.]

Yes... Hänninen takes away 7 seconds from Sandell's lead :bounce:

[Tom206wrc]

What do you mean A.F.F. different results for PWRC ?? :confused:

[dimviii]

Now Hanninen 8,8 before to climb 1st in pwrc :D

[ProRally]

Why did Flodin did not start 3rd ?
Was he not 3rd after SSS yesterday evening ?

[A.F.F.]

Why did Flodin did not start 3rd ?
Was he not 3rd after SSS yesterday evening ?

He started but went out. Came just now from the radio.

[dimviii]

Hanninen 1-2 seconds slower than official subarus....wtf :confused:

[A.F.F.]

What do you mean A.F.F. different results for PWRC ?? :confused:

Sorry... I messed up. The setting in http://www.wrc.premiumtv.co.uk/motorsport/wrcApplet was compared to the FIRST car, when in http://www.zone.ee/wrcmasters/analyzer.php?rally=2&stage=9&results=1 it's compared to the FASTEST car.

So, I looked wrong. :)

[ProRally]

He started but went out. Came just now from the radio.

Kiitos AFF,
Small or big off ?
Have new Mac Notebook and still have to figure out how to get audio and video to work on this it wants to install windows mediaplayer ?

[Tom206wrc]

And now Portuguese Armindo Araujo enters in Pwrc point position ;)

[PLuto]

Our lovely Conrad had problems ... on road section :D

[Tom206wrc]

I've rarely seen japanese champion Toshi Arai with so much problem on a Pwrc round :s

[ProRally]

I've rarely seen japanese champion Toshi Arai with so much problem on a Pwrc round :s

New car, new co-driver and nearly new team...
Yes strange he struggles a bit, he did test for 100s of km in the snow in Hokkaido last month with new car...

[ProRally]

Flodin last 14+ min in ss9

[Roy]

Good morning :wave:

How is the snow? Do they cancelled some stages today? Maybe... Who got some info?

[PLuto]

Good morning :wave:

How is the snow? Do they cancelled some stages today? Maybe... Who got some info?

From http://www.vysledky-rally.cz/vysledky/?id=35: It is absolutely thaw, temperature 4 above zero, snow is losing.

[PLuto]

Now Hanninen 8,8 before to climb 1st in pwrc :D

SANDELL P. / AXELSSON E. (st. č. 55): It is very slippery. I had problems to find right braking point, but it is OK. I was trying not to slide in slow corners. I am trying to go as best as possible.

HÄNNINEN J. / MARKKULA M. (st. č. 52): This stage is very tricky with slow corners, where I have advantage over Patrik. Good time.

[A.F.F.]

Mikko continues on being slower than Latvala. He is already given up or is totally lost this morning :confused:

I can understand that Latvala's lead is so huge that it's no point to try to catch him BUT Galli and henning are very near... that should motivate him to flat out.

[jonkka]

Mikko has either given up or can't match JML.

[jonkka]

Cheers AFF

[Mauri A]

Ketomaa:" Patrik is out, so we are back on podium"????

[A.F.F.]

Cheers AFF

No problem jonkka :laugh:

[Miika]

What´s up with Mikko, with this pace Henning will catch him again.

[Woodeye]

Would it be possible that Mikko has some problems with the car? Otherwise it's hard for me to get it why he's so slow at the moment.

[jonkka]

Ketomaa:" Patrik is out, so we are back on podium"????

Patrik Flodin

[A.F.F.]

Unbelieveble... Henning and Gigi are driving circles around Mikko this morning :confused:

[Mauri A]

Patrik Flodin
Oh, too many Patriks in this rally!

[Viking]

Good morning! I was a litle bit late out of service today :)
what happen to Østberg, off road?
Mikkelsen fastest Ford stage 9 makes me happy!

[PLuto]

Good morning! I was a litle bit late out of service today :)

Mikkelsen fastest Ford stage 9 makes me happy!

According to http://www.vysledky-rally.cz/vysledky/?id=35:

ÖSTBERG M. / UNNERUD O.-K. (st. č. 19): Stage was lot gravel, but after opne crest there was much snow, we hit snowbank and made a puncture, so we were changing tyre.

[jonkka]

Galli?

[KKS]

Problems for Gigi?

[Tom206wrc]

Ketomaa:" Patrik is out, so we are back on podium"????



You almost made me caught a heart attack :laugh:


Yes you confused with Flodin... ;)

[Roy]

From http://www.vysledky-rally.cz/vysledky/?id=35: It is absolutely thaw, temperature 4 above zero, snow is losing.

Hmmm. cancelled stages maybe. Or not?

What is with Mikko? This is real too slow for a works driver.

[KKS]

no... Gigi at finish.... He drive so quickly so GPS don't find them :D

[Finni]

If someone didn't yet understood in last ss road got gugely better for backrunners.

[Finni]

no... Gigi at finish.... He drive so quickly so GPS don't find them :D

I was sure tha he was out, huh.

[PLuto]

Hmmm. cancelled stages maybe. Or not?

What is with Mikko? This is real too slow for a works driver.

Cancelled only for swedish championship.

[Tom206wrc]

I was sure tha he was out, huh.



And you wished it because you feared for Mikko ?? :p :

[dimviii]

Henning said
We are back after a puncture and we want back to 3rd position."

[Tom206wrc]

Mikkelsen ?? :confused:


EDIT: no problem, he's coming ;)

[Scrap_Iron]

:s mokin:
Mikkelsen ?? :confused:


EDIT: no problem, he's coming ;)

[dimviii]

and coming fast!!

[miksu]

Mikkelsen ?? :confused:


EDIT: no problem, he's coming ;)

and fast...

[A.F.F.]

Does Al-Quassimy know that you don't have to stop on every stage in WRC ?

[Tom206wrc]

Mmmmh...big problem for Qassimi(+2m24 on split 2) :mark:

[dimviii]

sordo faster than everyone!

[Viking]

To bad Mikkelsen had turbo problems yesterday.
Gardemeister and Wilson watch out! :D

[jonkka]

When Mikkelsen goes past Gardemeister, there are six fords in top-7

[Miika]

Does Al-Quassimy know that you don't have to stop on every stage in WRC ?

Perhaps he´s taking pictures and buying souvenirs while he is at it.

[Finni]

And you wished it because you feared for Mikko ?? :p :

No, I am not such type of Mikko-fan. I am very happy that Gigi is still in the game bacause I hope he gets nice launch to the season as a whole.

[ProRally]

Perhaps he´s taking pictures and buying souvenirs while he is at it.

Carefull Sheihk Al Qasimi CAN buy Sweden if he wants...

[Tom206wrc]

And that Sandell's GPS out of order !! Grrr !!! :mad:

[A.F.F.]

Carefull Sheihk Al Qasimi CAN buy Sweden if he wants...

Point taken. I have to be carefull if he indeed makes a bid for Sweden. While he is at it, he could buy Åland too :up: :D

[PLuto]

Does Al-Quassimy know that you don't have to stop on every stage in WRC ?

Dont remember, than two minutes more on stage means, that spectators can see his sponsors two minutes longer! :s mokin:

[Scrap_Iron]

To bad Mikkelsen had turbo problems yesterday.
Gardemeister and Wilson watch out! :D
He sounds really happy with the way he and the car are going today :s mokin: :p

[Viking]

Carefull Sheihk Al Qasimi CAN buy Sweden if he wants...

Lol :D why should anyone want to buy Sweden ;)

[A.F.F.]

Dont remember, than two minutes more on stage means, that spectators can see his sponsors two minutes longer! :s mokin:

;) :up:

[jonkka]

Carefull Sheihk Al Qasimi CAN buy Sweden if he wants...

Could, not can. I won't sell.

[iJones]

Lol :D why should anyone want to buy Sweden ;)

They have some beautiful women there. :kiss:

[A.F.F.]

What do you know... Sordo might end up being on points after all. With that speed he'll catch Garde.

[A.F.F.]

They have some beautiful women there. :kiss:

And great army packed full with fierce killing machines.





































:D

[A.F.F.]

Hänninen second slower than Sandell. 10.1 between them.

[ProRally]

Lol :D why should anyone want to buy Sweden ;)

If you build the biggest indoor Ski/Snowboard hall in the world in the desert in UAE, why would Abu Dhabi not take it a step further and just buy Sweden...
Oops , first to have to have snow ....

[iJones]

And great army packed full with fierce killing machines. :D
http://files.myopera.com/iJones/files/schater_orig.gif That was not very nice now was it ?

[Tom206wrc]

Andreas Aigner ?? :confused:


EDIT: GPS was late to give his split time :s

[ProRally]

Andreas Aigner ?? :confused:

Stopped on stage

[ProRally]

Looks like a though day in PWRC

[Ville]

Yeah he wasnt having a good time...
Did anyone notice that before the roll, Seb was talking to Elena? I know seb sometimes makes comments on the notes to improve them but he spoke at least 4 times. I dont speak french, so was he complaining about the notes or about the car, or what??

Has anyone translated that yet?

[Tom206wrc]

SS11 running :)

[Fly]

Has anyone translated that yet?

Complaining about the notes! I can't remember Loeb driving so hesitatingly.

[ProRally]

What happend to Svedlund ?

[A.F.F.]

Mikko is finally stepping on it. Faster than Latvala.


Or, Latvala is just taking it easy...

[jonkka]

Or Mikko's tyres are in better shape

[A.F.F.]

Mikko is clearly faster than Henning and Galli. I think he is controlling and minimizing risks.

[Woodeye]

Mikko is finally also faster than Galli and Henning.

[pettersolberg29]

What's happened to Petter
+13 at 2nd split

[Tom206wrc]

And Solberg P. can't match the Focus pace again :mark:

[Viking]

SS12 cancelled :down:

[dimviii]

Henning is going to gain again 3rd position

[ProRally]

SS12 cancelled :down:

Oho, it is starting....

[consti]

What's happened to Petter
+13 at 2nd split

it's sad but this is his nowadays pace...

[pettersolberg29]

SS12 cancelled :down:

Why?

Is it too gravelly?

[Tom206wrc]

SS12 cancelled :down:



Marvellous :(

[Woodeye]

SS12 cancelled :down:

Why?

[A.F.F.]

Henning stopped on stage :eek:

[Simmi]

Henning off the road! Shame

[KKS]

Hennnninggg noooooooooooooooooooo

[Viking]

Henning ???

[A.F.F.]

And Garde stopped too.

[dimviii]

galli no split??

[jonkka]

There goes Ford 1-2-3-4

[scooby girl]

henning stopped in stage

[pettersolberg29]

Henning off!

[dimviii]

ok for gigi!!!!!!!!!!!

[Tom206wrc]

Wilson will end on podium if this happens too often(the different retitements in front) :eek:

[pettersolberg29]

Garde off!

[Tom206wrc]

And Garde stopped too.



:confused:

[consti]

now it's getting evil, garde stopped too

[A.F.F.]

And whoopsie daizie... Sordo is on points :eek:

[dimviii]

Henning was going dangerous fast between splits 3 and 4
if you see he had gained 4 seconds from the fastest in this stage :eek:

[Woodeye]

now the top three should change into safe mode..

[Tom206wrc]

The Pwrc in the top8 could be possible after that SS11 :eek: :eek:

[A.F.F.]

Henning was going dangerous fast between splits 3 and 4
if you see he had gained 4 seconds from the fastest in this stage :eek:


Or do you mean the first?

[Mauri A]

Garde got a split.

[Miika]

now the top three should change into safe mode..

Now it´s definitely the time for that, no need to compete each other out in those conditions that they will have in the afternoon stages, if they can even run them.

[dimviii]

Tom which pwrc crew you think is going to be in top8? :p

[A.F.F.]

now the top three should change into safe mode..

Apparently Latvala and Mikko already changed to safemode.

[dimviii]

@AFF
sorry mate my english are not so good!

[Mauri A]

Now it´s definitely the time for that, no need to compete each other out in those conditions that they will have in the afternoon stages, if they can even run them.
So, it´s time to concentrate to fight in PWRC.

[A.F.F.]

@AFF
sorry mate my english are not so good!

No problem. Your english par mine easily :up:

[kaarlov]

now the top three should change into safe mode..

Galli does not have 'safe' in his vocabulary.

[Viking]

Why?

Is it too gravelly?

Road to bad, 13 and 14 should be ok says Klarin.

[Tom206wrc]

Tom which pwrc crew you think is going to be in top8? :p



Do I need to tell ??? :D

[A.F.F.]

So it's possible that 12 and 13 will be cancelled ?

[consti]

Galli does not have 'safe' in his vocabulary.

from 2006 on he has, believe me...

[A.F.F.]

Whoops. Ostberg run out of tyres :s

[Mauri A]

Galli does not have 'safe' in his vocabulary.
Galli:"Mikko is very strong, I won´t push him"
BTW, thanks again for the comments Czech friends!

[A.F.F.]

Galli:"Mikko is very strong, I won´t push him"

In other words: "Malcom is very powerfull so i do as he told me to"

[consti]

what happened to aigner? lost quite an amount of time but now he i starting in the next stage?

[Tom206wrc]

Any news about Sandell ?? :confused:

[Finni]

In other words: "Malcom is very powerfull so i do as he told me to"

That comment was obviously related to Mikko's strong stage time.

[Mauri A]

Any news about Sandell ?? :confused:
Be careful with your heart Tom!!

[Tom206wrc]

Sandell lost 6s to Hänninen...4s between them now :mark:

[A.F.F.]

Any news about Sandell ?? :confused:

Finished the stage 6 seconds slower than Hänninen.

[A.F.F.]

That comment was obviously related to Mikko's strong stage time.

None of them (Latvala, Hirvonen, Galli) push anymore.

[CABAIO E'LONA]

stage cancelled?

[Mauri A]

None of them (Latvala, Hirvonen, Galli) push anymore.
Fast times however.

[miksu]

So what happened to Garde? did he blow a tyre or go off?



oh, so he went off...

[A.F.F.]

Jätte bra, nu jag kan ta min dagen sova.

See, fluent swedish :D

Cya on second loop.

[Finni]

None of them (Latvala, Hirvonen, Galli) push anymore.

Yes, not anymore but in the last ss at least Hirvonen and Henning were pushing.. I think that Gigi's comment was partially reaction to Mikko's stage time in Vargasen.

[rp]

Unfortunately for Gardemeister, there was no professional spectators (Finnish) at all. They do not understand to push car back to the road and it took so much time... Still at least one WRC point is possible for him...

[Mauri A]

Jätte bra, nu jag kan ta min dagen sova.

See, fluent swedish :D

Cya on second loop.

Du sova, jag åka snöslunga.
De va flytande on sjungande svenska av mig!

[ste898]

Thats is a costly and uneeded mistake by Henning when he was in a perfect position.......is he scoring for Stobarts this weekend or Munchi's

[consti]

Thats is a costly and uneeded mistake by Henning when he was in a perfect position.......is he scoring for Stobarts this weekend or Munchi's

for stobart munchi's hasn't entered a round up to now

[iJones]

Mattid -->

[ste898]

Well if I was Stobarts I would not be very happy at him throwing away a top points finish......very stupid!!!

[consti]

Well if I was Stobarts I would not be very happy at him throwing away a top points finish......very stupid!!!
but for munchi's it wouldn't matter? ;)

[Tomi]

jag åka snöslunga.
De va flytande on sjungande svenska av mig!

var någonstans i Finland finns det ny snö?

[Viking]

Well if I was Stobarts I would not be very happy at him throwing away a top points finish......very stupid!!!

I guess he was gunning for 3`rd before freeze positions order.

[Mauri A]

var någonstans i Finland finns det ny snö?
Här uppe in Rovaniemi!

[ste898]

but for munchi's it wouldn't matter? ;)

.......No because they rarely score points anyway, but Stobarts are very serious about 3rd in Manufacturers

[Tomi]

Här uppe in Rovaniemi!

Ahaa ok, här i södern är bara slask, jävligt.

[Corny]

Sordo is not doing too bad too, +1:24 without his penalty.. We've seen him doing worse

[Tom206wrc]

What about SS12 ??? Officially cancelled ?? :confused:

[Mirek]

Yes, it was cancelled.

[ste898]

]Yes, it was cancelled.


What reason was it cancelled?

[Karbonyl]

I guess it became a gravel rally, so that's why...

[Tom206wrc]

OK, so next stage(SS13) at 02.13pm... ;)

[DonJippo]

You noticed the Lotus add on home page of wrc.com? Says "Current time in Sweden" having time on the clock which definitely is not current time in Sweden... :crazy:

Hey, I noticed that the time has been corrected :eek: :up:

[Iskald]

I guess it became a gravel rally, so that's why...

Interesting to see what happens to 110 teams due to compete in the Swedish Rally Championship today and tomorrow. My guess is that they won`t drive much if anything at all, as SS12 is cancelled with only the WRC-teams through one time. Conditions can`t be very much better on SS13 and 14 and the roads will be terrible with 160-170 cars trough this afternoon. One of the norwegian Fiesta-drivers has already reported big disappointment on a norwegian forum.

The organisers had a choice to drop the Swedish Championship 10 days ago, but still kept it in spite of weather forecast and conditions.

[Finni]

The organisers had a choice to drop the Swedish Championship 10 days ago, but still kept it in spite of weather forecast and conditions.

It's time to get proper winter rally in the calendar. When was the last time when rally of sweden was driven with proper snow benches?

How about Arctic Lapland Rally? Sometimes we had to cancel stages because of too much snow, but nowadays there are better snow-ploughs!

[iJones]

How about Arctic Lapland Rally?
Great idea! And now that they are not going to have 1000 lakes (erm, NORF, sorry) in the calendar every year we could have Arctic Lapland on odd years and 1000 lakes on even years. Or something like that. :cool:

[Tom206wrc]

SS13 soon, or also cancelled ?? :confused:

[Viking]

when stages are cancelled will the "superrally"-drivers get the +5 min penelty?

[Isthmus]

when stages are cancelled will the "superrally"-drivers get the +5 min penelty?

Why should they ?

[Tom206wrc]

when stages are cancelled will the "superrally"-drivers get the +5 min penelty?



It was exactly the question I asked me about Henning's case :confused:

[Tom206wrc]

SS13 running !! Latvala is on the start :D

[CABAIO E'LONA]

GO Latvala!!!

[jonkka]

??

[Iskald]

swedish championship is cancelled.

An that is a real scandal. 110 teams has come to Karlstad and have prepared to drive two championship round. Each team has already used lots of money on their preparations, travel and accomodation. And for what...?

You don`t need to go to Lapland to find proper winter in Norway btw. I was skiing yesterday, 25 kms from Oslo. Snowdepth was about 1 metre...

[Tom206wrc]

Engine problem and retirement for Loeb before SS13 !!! :s

[Tom206wrc]

Galli fastest on split 1... :)

[PLuto]

when stages are cancelled will the "superrally"-drivers get the +5 min penelty?

No, without penalty. With previous superally rules, there were problem, when first driver crashed and stage was cancelled. There were no finish time, so no superally penalty...

[DonJippo]

You don`t need to go to Lapland to find proper winter in Norway btw. I was skiing yesterday, 25 kms from Oslo. Snowdepth was about 1 metre...

Maybe Swedes should move their championship series to Norway then ;)

[jonkka]

I was skiing yesterday, 25 kms from Oslo. Snowdepth was about 1 metre...

Skiing? I thought that Norway was rich country. Do you export all oil and can't afford to drive?

[jonkka]

Engine problem and retirement for Loeb before SS13 !!! :s

Again? Man who previously never retired has now done it twice on one rally... :eek:

[DonJippo]

Engine problem and retirement for Loeb before SS13 !!! :s

Hmmm...have a feeling I've seen this before...yes in Japan last year.... :dozey:

[DonJippo]

Mikko really pissed about the conditions they have to drive...

[Wim_Impreza]

Why is Loeb so lucky that he has a mechanical problem when he is so far in the standings? This was already in Japan last year, too. When he is in the points, he has never a mechanical problem...

[Mauri A]

You don`t need to go to Lapland to find proper winter in Norway btw. I was skiing yesterday, 25 kms from Oslo. Snowdepth was about 1 metre...
But can you organize a WRC rally without going to bankcrupty?

[PLuto]

Again? Man who previously never retired has now done it twice on one rally... :eek:

Have you read his quotes after stages? He doesnt want to continue...

[Tom206wrc]

Atkinson losing much toward the penultimate split :mark:

[Zico]

Why is Loeb so lucky that he has a mechanical problem when he is so far in the standings? This was already in Japan last year, too. When he is in the points, he has never a mechanical problem...

Maybe something to do with a fresh engine for the next rally?

[Viking]

But can you organize a WRC rally without going to bankcrupty?

Lol :D no, we can only afford it every 2 years now!

[Mauri A]

It looks like the Swedish onganizers are closing the standard of their colleagues in Monte Carlo.

[Isthmus]

Why is Loeb so lucky that he has a mechanical problem when he is so far in the standings? This was already in Japan last year, too. When he is in the points, he has never a mechanical problem...

Fu***** sh**! Even when he rolls and get over 20min, out of points, and Ford gets 1-2-3-etc cars wich suddenly gets the rallye competitive and interesting(!..with Loeb´s on, its never interesting), and then he get more technical problems, there´s only lucky with him. :rolleyes:

I know, i know...its my problem to keep reading this forum. :dozey:

[Tom206wrc]

No GPS for Qassimi neither :mark:

[Tom206wrc]

In fact Qassimi lost almost 3 minutes on split 1 !!! :s

[Simmi]

Sounds like an interesting spot at the end of SS13 with the tarmac section at the end. Would be interesting to see a bit of footage from that area.

[Finni]

Again? Man who previously never retired has now done it twice on one rally... :eek:

That man got his car in the ditch four times during last year.

I think that nowadays Loeb is driving with more risks than in his eraly days. We might see few major error from him every year but his reputation as a man "who never retired" will obviously stay.

[Madeira]

Ostberg:
"I went off the road, when I got on the tarmac, I think everyone went off at that point."

[Viking]

Mikkelsen shaves some more seconds of Wilson :)

[Madeira]

Let me see if Armindo Araújo will be able to catch T Arai for the PWRC

[Langdale Forest]

Is Ostberg in a 2006 Subaru?

[DonJippo]

Sounds like an interesting spot at the end of SS13 with the tarmac section at the end. Would be interesting to see a bit of footage from that area.

Driver's for sure don't find it intresting, it's plain stupid to drive on tarmac with tyres they have now.

[DonJippo]

Is Ostberg in a 2006 Subaru?

2007 I believe.

[Langdale Forest]

Sordo fastest on atge 13.

[PLuto]

In fact Qassimi lost almost 3 minutes on split 1 !!! :s

500m after start he was out :D

[PLuto]

2007 I believe.

Yes, it is ex-factory S12B

[Tom206wrc]

Sandell increases a little bit more his gap with Hänninen(by about 1s) :p :

[Simmi]

Sordo showing some good pace today, but we still cant say he is fast on snow.

[A.F.F.]

Sordo showing some good pace today, but we still cant say he is fast on snow.

I think Sordo has driven brilliantly. He hasn't give up, kept on decent pace all the time and learnt as much as possible. Now it's paying off and he is on drivers points :up:

[Tomi]

yes, sordos driving looks good when the front guys drives with the hands in their pockets.

[A.F.F.]

Sandell and Hänninen are really fighting :up:

[Madeira]

Sandell increases a little bit more his gap with Hänninen(by about 1s) :p :

For now this is the great batlle of rally. A Big pressure inside of both cars with too bad conditions on the road....

[A.F.F.]

yes, sordos driving looks good when the front guys drives with the hands in their pockets.

I don't think he has to go any faster, he just has to finish.

[tannat]

A favor: could you guys save me a thread search and let me know what happened with Gardemeister? Slipped from 7th to 10th.. :(

Hopefully not the head gasket.

[DonJippo]

I think Sordo has driven brilliantly. He hasn't give up, kept on decent pace all the time and learnt as much as possible. Now it's paying off and he is on drivers points :up:

He has been driving on his own and thanks to other's retirement he is on the points, don't see any brilliance in that unles you give the same credits to everyone else who will finish this event ;)

[DonJippo]

A favor: could you guys save me a thread search and let me know what happened with Gardemeister? Slipped from 7th to 10th.. :(

Hopefully not the head gasket.

Stucked to snow bank and spectators didn't know how to push the car back to road untill co-driver went out to explain... :dozey:

I think there should be some kind of spectator licence needed before you can go to stages :D

[tannat]

Stucked to snow bank and spectators didn't know how to push the car back to road untill co-driver went out to explain... :dozey:


<SIGH>

Cheers, Donjippo :up:

[ProRally]

When do we pass the 2/3 part so they can cancel the snow disaster ?

[Madeira]

Let me see if Armindo Araújo will be able to catch T Arai for the PWRC


1,9 s less than Arai, It could be better but that's ok.

Sorry guys, but I have to say that Bernardo Sousa, the very young driver from Madeira island is doing a really decent job in Sweden, very impressive. As you know we have not snow or gravel roads here. A big talent I'm sure...

[A.F.F.]

He has been driving on his own and thanks to other's retirement he is on the points, don't see any brilliance in that unles you give the same credits to everyone else who will finish this event ;)

You know how hard rallying can be. Blimey, you can even have an off on road section.

[Tom206wrc]

In what shape will be tomorrow's six last stages of the rally ??? :s

In what shape will be tomorrow's six last stages of the rally ??? :s

the swedish guys in the rallyradio did say there would be cold next night, if that is the case they can drive tomorrow hopefully.

[Tom206wrc]

Not bad for a first outing in WRC !!! Frédéric Sauvan is 11th of GrN after SS13(23rd overall) :D

[MJW]

Does anyone know what happened to Eyvind Brynildsen on day1 ?

[kleisj]

Thankfully i just made to see online the splits 4 the last stage!
Bad luck for Henning as I saw. What happened? He had an off and retired completely?
Why fist car on the road is Latvala ? Rule changed?

[Wim_Impreza]

First outing? He did the Monte-Carlo too, but it is his first time in Sweden.

[Mirek]

kleisj: Henning went off. Yes, rulles changed since start of 2008 season.

[Tom206wrc]

Hirvonen ?? GPS ?? :confused:

[jonkka]

Mikko missing a split

[A.F.F.]

Hopefully just a gps problem for Mikko....

[jonkka]

Pheeew

[Tom206wrc]

Yes only GPS finally... ;)

[A.F.F.]

huh......

[rp]

Does anyone know what happened to Eyvind Brynildsen on day1 ?

Eyvind said in the ralliradio that they ran out of fuel...

[Jaanus]

Does anyone know what happened to Eyvind Brynildsen on day1 ?

He ran out of fuel after he was given too little fuel in the refueling zone.

[kleisj]

Mikko finished faster than Latvala

[ProRally]

He ran out of fuel after he was given too little fuel in the refueling zone.

How is that possible ? If you tell they guys 53 liter , they pump 53 liter...

[N.O.T]

what was the reason Loeb retired? boredom?

[A.F.F.]

what was the reason Loeb retired? boredom?

In the end, yep.

Officially another mechanical failure.

[A.F.F.]

Mikkelsen might pass Wilson on this stage. If not, he'll be very near him for tomorrow.

[kleisj]

Why ss12 was cancelled?

[ste898]

On SWRT times are on for SS12 so dont know whats happenning

[ste898]

yes, sordos driving looks good when the front guys drives with the hands in their pockets.

What rubbish.....the drivers in front are using their brains to finish the event!!!

[Tom206wrc]

Sandell and Hänninen are ready for the leg's final fight... ;)

If they still are tight, tomorrow will be a big sprint in the head PWRC :D

[dimviii]

@kleisj

no snow at all. last 2 km in asphalt :eek:

[Viking]

Mikkelsen might pass Wilson on this stage. If not, he'll be very near him for tomorrow.

Maybe better to stay a few seconds behind, controlling it tomorrow.

[DonJippo]

When do we pass the 2/3 part so they can cancel the snow disaster ?

Tomorrow after first stage.

[Tom206wrc]

Sandell +2m54 on split 1 !!! :eek: ;(

[DonJippo]

What rubbish.....the drivers in front are using their brains to finish the event!!!

Hands in the pocket means the same.

[A.F.F.]

Sandell +2m54 on split 1 !!! :eek: ;(

What??

Shame. It's Hänninen then Ketomaa in PWRC.

What do you know, double lead in both series ;)

[MJW]

Sandell and Hänninen are ready for the leg's final fight... ;)

If they still are tight, tomorrow will be a big sprint in the head PWRC :D
But Sandell is +2.57 slower on first split of stage 14.

[PLuto]

Why ss12 was cancelled?

Bad conditions on road. Look here, you will find answers to your questions...: http://www.vysledky-rally.cz/vysledky/?id=35

[dimviii]

as 2/3 of rally is almost completed..
mates which one driver is going to win in pwrc at sweden?
becareful, not who you want to win, but who has more possibilities to win. :D

everybody can answer except Tom206 :p :

i think is Hanninen :s mokin:

[MJW]

and +3mins 10 seconds on 2nd slpit

[rp]

Hirvonen scored his first SS win in this event. After the SS 14 situation in the battle Latvala vs Hirvonen 11-2...

[Mirek]

Al Quassimi won Colin's crest with 36 meters...

[Tom206wrc]

Off or puncture for Sandell(he doesn't lose too much on the following split) ?? :(

[dimviii]

shame for Sandel :(
very good driving from him.

[A.F.F.]

It was a nice battle between Sandell vs. Hänninen.

But everybody got to see how fast Sandell and 207 S2000 can be :up:

[kleisj]

Sandell in trouble!!!

[Tomi]

is sandell driving the ful PWRC ?

[N.O.T]

Well i doubt Loeb could do anything to win this even if he competed....his only chance would be to keep the pressure on the young ones and force a mistake out of them, probably fell in his own trap.

Amazing victory for Latvala that only a puncture or mechanical will stop him. Hirvonen didn't persuade that can do something to stop Loeb this year.

In Finland things will be interesting once more :)

[DonJippo]

:rotflmao: I hope they will put subtitles to this one for non finns...Tomi Tuominen explaining how the spectators were pushing their car to four different directions, at the same time, when Toni got stuck to snowbank... :crazy:

[Mirek]

is sandell driving the ful PWRC ?

Yes.

Now he is faster than Hanninen on the other splits, the car is obviously undamaged.
