That is brave of you to say that after this year.

Swede fast in Sweden is nothing revolutionary, but there are 12 other rounds in the championship...

One strategy: drive your vehicle at the maximum speed for as long as you have the nerve. NASCAR on dirt.

I suggest to You to go for example Ouninpohja and good luck in trying to memorize it. Besides that it's not like the rallies would not change their route when they keep same name...

PG Andersson has never shown pace like meeke did in australia, or even shown the pace meeke did in finland for that matter- but i admit i might be mistaken and just forgotten. So please remind me when PG showed good pace in his rallies in wrc car? :confused:

Rally Norway 2009 in Fabia.

I'd say PG is perhaps the most over-rated driver of recent times. Never shown any decent pace against decent opposition yet people always get excited about the chance of him in a WRC car. Thankfully people are starting to realise how average this guy is - hopefully he won't get in a WRC car again unless it's out his own pocket. If Sweden want a local driver then Tidemand is a much, much better option - at least there's a chance he'll be good one day.
