mega statement :D

A couple from the first two days of my first ever trip to Rally Sweden. One thing I've learned is that the Swedish/Norwegian fans are MAD! I've never seen so many drunken people at a Rally before.

Yes, the rules are simple, but I mean that VW had unlimited resources to develop new parts and try every possible parts and test any options before they finalized and homologated the Polo R WRC.

Of course it is not refused, but VW´s preparation to the WRC has been the most extensive and expensive ever seen and there will be no other manufacturers to do the same in the near future...

That's sure true. I was just curious what You meant.

Both legs and an arm. Half mile before he got to us. The kid had great prospects. Think this crash is what slowed him down. Belive he was only 19 in a Stobart WRC Focus.

Interesting to see what Latvala can do tomorrow. According to MTV3 he's going to try something radical and will use Ogier's setup.

Latvala won't settle for a fourth place ever (long term)
The "wise" decisions ain't always taken by the pilots itself (team orders) ;)

By the way Nikara has had flu & fever during the rally, always means something...
