Look at Likenäs 1 and 2. Check the stage times for the ones who were first on the road. This was without any Historic cars at all. Same situation.

I think the point is that without the national rally in between, the road opener has it bad only for half of the day, it should be better on the repeat of the stages, but then it's even worse. But Ogier's stage times on the first runs of stages didn't differ much apart from the 3rd on Vargåsen 1 and and 6th on Likenäs 1.

Also, the historics did not run on Torsby between Saturday evening's Torsby Sprint and the power stage. Kris said the road was plowed and all the loose snow pulled into the ruts, making it just worse.

Yup, after about 20 cars it's already 5-10cm of ice powder outside the ruts so that's the same, just watch how Mikkelsen looses the rear on 2nd pass of Likenäs on the 2nd clip in my video.
Go back to narrow tyres on the WRC? Do they really use the same 15" rims in Sweden on a gravel rally later or the other way around in a factory team anyway?

Again - look at Likenäs 2, it's not better than Likenäs 1 for the early guys. I can see that without JWRC, non-championship runners etc. it will be "easier" for the second run. But then you are left with, what? 12 WRC cars and 7-8 WRC-2 cars. A 20 car rally at max.

I don't believe his co-driver tightened his belt completely before he took off... someone fill a complain.

If you ever wonder why none of the people close to you never asks for your opinion or view on any matter (important or not) you got your answer there...

you are irrelevant in everything you say or do...
