No problem for Abbring... just drive around, take no risks, wait for others to have problems, pick up a good result. Worked for the Hyundai drivers in Monte...

Didn't Loeb injure himself in the same way too when he won the championship from his bed in 2006 or so? Maybe WRC teams should advise their drivers' trainers to stick to stationary bikes...Quote:

Livery looks little bit like the livery on Protasov's car but whit different colours. Way better livery than the Henning's usual white one.Quote:

No. I don't know where you got that idea. For one thing, neither of them have driven a WRC car in Sweden - in fact Paddon has driven Sweden once in S2000 and Abbring has never competed there in any car. I like Abbring and am glad to see him get a chance with a factory team, but in WRC his experience is much less:Quote:

And frankly having 7 ERC events last year with so many retirements doesn't exactly make up the difference. Of course until they are on multiple rallies head to head comparisons don't mean much in terms of performance, but in experience there's no question...
weather doesnt look good according to accuweather and weather.com, 5 degrees warm http://www.accuweather.com/en/se/hag...monyr=2/1/2015
