[WRC] Rally Sweden 2025

Just when it looked like Evans was heading for another top day he throws in two late mistakes. It's all to play for now.

Powerstage SS18 shortened by 1.46km from start.
SS18 new length is 8.62km

It's all about getting a good sleep now. Everybody will be flat out tomorrow for sure, lot to play for. If you can win the rally and Super Sunday, you have 35 points. If you are slow or make a mistake, you could easily end up with less than 15 points..

1.46km is not half….

Me too…from here he is favourite for me.

I think Evans can take this, he was fast all weekend and had 2 mistakes in the last 2 stages, but unless he screws up, I think he can win it on speed.
We'll have to see if Hyundai manages to fix Tanak's issue, if it's even possible. With 12 seconds gap it would not be easy to get the win, though.

Good morning all, I really want Elfyn to win.Im really disappointment for Hyundai as a team, it's a same about Adrien.

Dont show Serderidis, please

Well there goes the good weekend of Josh....
Hopefully other cars can get past

He landed in soft snow though. Bye bye weekend for him.

Kalle is on the hunt.

So does Ott... :)

Clear windscreen on Ott car

Damn Hyundai engine, probably ruined Tanaks victory

Stage is cleaning

Happy for Taka...

,,bad luck Brian'' Evans.. :D
If Kalle isn't taking his points and Ogier not racing.. then comes one Japan Airlines guy :D

Takamoto is properly on it. Hopefully the nerves don't get to him now.

Cmon Taka bring the victory home!

Martin`s side window was completely wet and I think I saw some moisture on the windshield also. Afraid, it`s not over yet.

Taka rolls the dice, Elfyn is not quite happy with the handling and keeps it rational, Hyundai looms on the horizon, and we'll see how it ends.

Really? I didn’t notice anything and they didn’t look also worried themselves.

Now 15 minute service again

I think that was now a real snow. In close look I saw a dry drops, but think it from yesterday and not cleaning properly

Linnamae with fastest splits in RC2 goes off on last sector?

As usual i'm afraid. You can call him anything, but not consistent.

+14min for him.. seems another snowbank digging out

Josh made it, +49min

I am pretty sure that they cleaned all the windows yesterday. But could be snow, who knows. At least the car was working properly.

Such a shame actually. He was the surprise of the rally so far together with Taka

Vid of Josh crash

Atleast there is no major damage to his Ford, he went across us.

Now it's Katsuta's to lose, Evans no confidence, that was clearly visible... Let's see if they can make some changes in settings.

But +49min for Josh to digging out with max 30min allow lateness on TC. It must be a quick road section for him

Imagine Taka having a spin and loosing 12 seconds to Tänak, Evans again loosing 6 to Tänak and Neuville also upping his pace and we would have 4 way fight for the win on the PS stage :P

Thats not impossible.. Tanak is the fastest, Neuville will maybe find something and Evans is Evans when it comes to fighting..

At the end it’ll be Evans who’ll crack under the pressure and get stuck in a snowbank (suffice to say I hope he doesn’t and that he’ll take the win).

I wasn't being sarcastic or anything like that. I meant: well done for digging the car out so he can continue the rally, finish every stage, and gain experience, which is why he's here.

Now we want Taka to win. Would be great for him and also for the team.

I'm mostly hoping that Taka doesn't bin it. Because if he does, it may crush his soul.

Good morning old Sunday driving.. I didn't miss you
