Yeah that was insane, shame there was so much snow on the road. Had it been like Torsby with just ice you would have seen how close he was to binning it :p (Not possible to see the straight from inside the corner)

Well that was from 2015 and it says recce so he did not violate the suspended penalty by speeding on the transport.

Like some of you already said, let’s hope they can get more northern ss to avoid weather risks.

It’s also great to see that this year the VW’s aren’t so far away from competition (Meeke at MC and now Paddon, they both put Ogier under real pressure!) and that WRC2 it’s full of young talented drivers.

One final note about Lappi: probably there’s too much criticism on him; Ok, he did a mistake (like so many others, including Ogier), but he got some extra pressure because of the silly start position that was given to him at first leg (like in MC). To me he’s the only one capable to fight Evans for the WRC2 title.

P.S.: terrible season start for Camilli. Hope he can get over it and start to show all his potential!

I expect Tidemand to have more points than Lappi at the end of season but I also expect Kopecký to have even more (if plans didn't change).

Ouh, yes you are right.
I totally misunderstood it. I thought Ogier was caught again speeding in recce during Sweden's recces but this is the same document.
Need some rest :)

may be You're right, still it looks more tidy to the chassis, but may be it is misleading

he was caught, but not during recce, but during the rally

Seems that Ogier is regular "tax" payer in Sweden, aound 1,5 k Eur each January :P But this is narrow escape indeed. If the stewards would have written about speeding during the "rally", and not specified it as "recce" then it would have ended with 5th place for him. Interesting that it always happens in Sweden.

The decision is stated as 2015-02-14 which is year ago today and Ogier's speeding this year happen two days ago which
is the 12th so it was within the time stipulated in the jury decision.
