It`s not just the protrusion that`s different compared to the WRC tire it`s a completely new tire as well though it looks the same..Quote:

With the road order making so big differences on SD it's also likely to make big differences tomorrow.
yes, but still I think the main reason was to give R5 cars a different tyre than wrc one - a bit lighter, bigger protrusion etc... - a better 'gun' in a fight with Pirellis :)Quote:

Possible entry list for SSS1
Mikkelsen and Lappi should really take advantage. Mikkelsen really needs to considering the poor form he's in and then the bad start in Monte. There's no excuses here - home rally, superb car in these conditions, seemingly good road position and a good previous record here.Quote:

Evans and Suninen maybe likewise on day 1, would be nice to see a Ford up there. Don't think it'll be Pontus somehow though ;)
Depending on conditions the road may become already worn and slower for Lappi, Mikkelsen etc.
As I understand tomorrow’s stages are in good condition. The front runners must use it big tomorrow. That’s what Järveoja is also saying. Saturday could be huge lottery.
Absolutely yesQuote:

Shakedown time matters to Suninen:
Sixth fastest time on Shakedown is a good confirmation that we have found nice set-up for these conditions in @RallySweden - starting tonight at 20.08 local time. https://t.co/PJdvCk3QG5
Really interesting rally starting soon. I believe Lappi, Mikkelsen and Suninen can really fight for podium positions. Ott and JML will be really fast, now it's really time for JML to fight for his positions in the team. On SD Neuville was faster than I expected.
What I'm really waiting is WRC2 battle. Mads is favorite with his experience, however I expect Kalle to be fastest WRC2 in most of stages. Waiting nice fight from Pietarinen, Lindholm, Pieniazek and Greensmith.

Weird, he comes in view with things hanging a little bit off the left rear corner. Does a touch on that corner again when we see him and then goes off in next corner also on that side. Something wrong with that side of the car/tire at that moment or he just doesn't like right turns ? (like those Lappi crashes on tarmac).Quote:

The ruts on the start/finish straight are awful, let's see how bad they are for top drivers
very bad conditions at SSS but it's 100km south form rally base
agreed, looked great with the first cars but shit already after couple of cars.
Yep, really awful road conditions here.
