I am talking the same to the FIA for many years (WRC and also ERC). They completely killed shakedown. But they are not listening. They are out of reality...Quote:

Henning did his PET during SD today. Effective guy! :D
Again Citroen is to low at front and cut frozen Sweden soil :(

Ready - GO!

Neuville - Tänak and Ogier - Latvala very tasty pairings!
With a totally different suspension set-up to Monte it would be amazing to have the same problem. We'll see on the rally.Quote:

- Tänak/Evans tried but to wide driving, Ogier was really slow.
- Ostberg looks really fast, fast and very accurate driving every pass.
- Toyota, engine seems to have lack of power against Ford, Citroen and Hyundai but also not the best pace from none of the drivers.
- WRC2, a lot of drivers who had really good pace, Pontus did only one pass and was fastest by marginal in that, then faster times from the other on later passes. Henning was going really full pace, also Sunninen, Greensmith tried hard. Camilli will be fast i think, he was very spectacular second pass.
Will be a very interesting rally.
See you on Svullrya tomorrow !
Last year at Karlstad 2 faster was Latvala with 1,34,9 and faster r5 was Suninen with 1,37,5

Ha ha Latvala wins !!
God - When was the last time Latvala led a rally?
ha ha Toyota leading the rally! and that Tänak picture is very interesting that dimvii posted :eek:
The rear wing played big role definitely,Quote:

Poor little Finnish dogs made a wrc car in a barn and had a fastest time. Ou dear. Okay, only a mickey mouse SS but still. Just glad to see that the N.O.T doesnt know anything and is the real dog himself :P

Very nice to watch those powerful cars, not letting the driver to touch the gas pedal.
30 years of waiting for something like Lancia and Pug 205, but finally they are back.
I think You deserve some kind of award. 30 years waiting, wow.Quote:

True. Group B cars were reaching 600hp.Quote:

Sorry to pi55 on your bonfire mate, but Matthew Wilson led overnight after leading a super special stage once, so it means nothing at all...
But he has been driving "real car" also.Quote:

Latvala is looking confident. If one thing is for sure it's that his mood will definitely do wonders tomorrow.
