That's right, Ingemar Svensson Rallying.... Google and you will find his homepage. And I think that's with some little support from M-Sport. They will update the car for Rally Sweden. Pontus is driving the firt event of the Swedish Championship this weekend in Sandviken in the Fiesta before they start to test for Rally Sweden.
No PGA?

Very, very sad situation for Swedish rallying. No PGA, no Flodin, no Sandell. Tidemand must shine.
We reached last year the middle of the stage via the road to Bäcken and then to the stage. We did it with a van ( Ford Transit ) on snow tyres ( no nails ). You need some luck to avoid as much as possible the reverse traffic, but we had no major problems to reach it. There is a possibillity to turn your car a bit before the stage on the road to the left.Quote:

See picture of this stage Sägen
Some friends of mine managed it in a Grand Vitara last year. But not recommended in anything lower than that for sure.Quote:

He really needs a new team in ERC or WRC/WRC2! He is better then driving for Proton!
Sandell is some kind of joke... He will never be a WRC driver, he is good at PR but not near as good as PG and Flodin as a driver... He can continue with his other events in mountainbike....
Really sad for sweden, but I think that Tidemand has the right qualitys and the support that needs to succeed....
But as always in motorsport these days.... Money rules, not always a great driver....
Anyone think it's possible to do three stages on Friday and Saturday?
Possible on to see 4 stages on each friday, saturday and sunday... If you watch only a limited number of cars and on places with good access ;) I must say I think on friday from Lesjofors to Vargasen and on sunday from Finnskogen 2 to Torsby will be quite tense in shedule...
Unfortunately watching a limited number of cars means you have to stay at a stage for at least 30min anyway to get the best drivers in WRC with the qualification now. Think Latvala was 17th on the road last year, 17 cars with 2 min gaps. Won't be far off that this year too i guess. Staying 30min at Finnskogen 2 and then Torsby would give you too little time, 15 min if you are lucky going into SP1 at Torsby from stage end area of Finnskogen....

Very lucky, would love to see this!
Rv201 til Ukjent vei - Google Maps - How about this? From start of Finnskogen to the end of Torsby... Gives you a few extra minutes compared to going from finish of one stage to the start of another. And it should be a shorter drive (saving some 5 to 10 minutes) between the stages I think. :)Quote:

Its shorter, but it depends on you managing to park the car close to the start of the Finnskogen stage. I think they will be very strict regarding parking on road 201, possibly it will not be allowed at all.Quote:

Yes I remember that from in Belgium, where everyone wants to see every day as much as possible stages. ;-)Quote:

Also access roads are slippery and icy, so for a guy from Belgium it's very slippery ;) Couple years ago guys from Netherlands went off to a ditch just in front of us and because we stopped and helped them back on the road, we missed one stage. But it was worth it. So make your plans not too tight and drive carefully :)Quote:

EDIT: Shall we see something similar this year :D
Except me, I prefer to watch all the drivers in their cars. :)Quote:

I know bluuford is very busy with detail progoses for erc latvia, but what about sweden??
till i saw the picture of pino, i had no worries that it will be a proper snow rally, but it looks like it can be (at least a mixed surface race) :(
please bluuford, if you have time left, would you check your predictions for next week arround hagfors? THX!!
Do not worry, Southern Sweden has one of the most extreme temperature gradients. The fact that there is not much snow in small down 20 km south from Hagfors does not show much. According to the data that is available right now I can see that the rally will be held in near perfect conditions.. well, some Minttu and very warm clothes are also useful (For -20 degrees).

Is that Mikko on the way to sweden? ;)
Very funny the videos of Citroen and Mikko. :DQuote:
