The off on the sss was also actually small, so that can not have damaged anything important.

But still nr1 in explanations is Hennings, a few years back, "the car settings was changet during night".

But wasn't it actually correct, the setup had been changed? If my memory serves me correctly it was.

during night the cars are in a place called park ferme, where nobody has access.

when Henning calmed down he said the mistake was made by someone in the team on the service before or after park ferme.

the car he tested was perfectly set up( First and only time he did a proper test before a WRC-round.) But that was in a test car. The team did'nt manage to setup the car the same as the test car, and ruined his rally.. At least the first day..

I hope that Henning put "return to sender" on the next invoice from M sport then...

Methinks the problem was that all the testing were done on perfect ice but conditions was wery different in Sweden.

Hmm... But he ran Finnskogsvalsen as part of his testing, and that can't have been on perfect ice if the Rally Sweden stages wasn't perfect ice? It's in exactly the same area...

strange he did not notice anything odd during shakedown either, there would have been plenty of time to fix the setup.

I'll be amazed if he wins another WRC rally.

And so would everyone. ;)

all these idiotic excuses about the setup are just ridiculous.....Solberg has been in the wrc for around 10 years now...i doubt that this was the first time the testing was in different conditions than the actual rally...and if he cannot adapt the setup to the current conditions after all these years then he should pack his little circus and got home.
