Rally Sweden 2011

What happened with Grondal?

GRØNDAL A. / ENGAN V. (st. č. 24) Engine problems on liasion to SS

Now is the chance for Petter!! Mikko had spin lost a lot.

This is getting more and more interresting :)

seems the Citroens have 2 new tyres for the last stages

According to some info from Sweden Michelin has big problems with new tyres. They made a series of them with too small internal diameter and have big problems with fitting on rims (is it the cause of many punctures?).

The problem is the tyre regs are too restricitve - let the tyre company bring whatever tyres they seem fit - not what the FiA tell them - and bring back tyre choice!! Look what happened at Monte - one tyre choice won the event - that can't happen in WRC.

Pirelli also before some years had the same problems with some asphalt 18'' tyres.It wasnt causing punctures,but slow punctures due to loose air from broken belts/gomme from the inside diameter of tyre as result from pushing extremely the tyre to fit with the rim.

Wery nice time for Kimi :)

Impressive from Mads to fight back some time vs. Petter - as 1st on the road.
