This weekend was an incredible start to the 2011 season with all sorts of things going on. Most of all Mikko wins Rally Sweden, and heads a Ford 1-2-3 with young norwegian driver doing a great job to finish 2nd. fantastic. Check out my review on the event: - http://t.co/x2NkBYo
Also the Power stage was great to see on TV live, Petter's co-driver had to take over for the stage, all explain here - http://t.co/HgPTifq
Can't wait for Mexico. - So whos gonna win there?
I agree, and to have five drivers going for a win on the last day was really good.
Who will wi Mexico? Probably Loeb for a change, given citroens record and his running position there...
But will he be able to keep his lead on Day 2/3 if he's sweeping?
This is an old argument, but that was how it was in the past, but the drivers didn't complain. I'd be more worried by the dust from 1 minute start gaps.Quote:

Don't forget that Petter Solberg has always done well in Mexico, and he will have a good road position on day 1.
Indeed it was a GREAT WRC Sweden, prefect weather (although quite cold day 2 and 3) , the new cars look good, drivers are motivated , lets see how they feel and go in Mexico, 2 more weeks before I leave to Leon, for sure it will be warmer there than Hagfors ... :D :D :D
Great start indeed, I can't remember so many drivers fighting for the win in many years. And the new cars are great to see and hear!!!!!
The WRC seems to have had a new lease on life. It's great for the sport and was a pleasure to follow for the three days. What a way to kick off 2011!
I agree with this. I really didn't expect the new reg cars to put on as much of a show as they did. As someone who didn't follow the sport properly since about 2007, I'm delighted that 2011 has kicked off in such form. Let's hope this continues for the rest of the season and we can have an open battle for the championship. If this happens to be the case, we could see the start of a WRC revival and a flood of manufacturers entering ( one can dream... :angel: ).Quote:
