So how is the situation with points now? If they cancel more stages, the drivers will not be able to receive regular amount of points?

Suninnens all spykes are still there, maybe after spin they didnt push anymore, but I suspect something else made that tyre above 'bold' - still strugling to understand what thou... lets wait for more pictures of tyres after this stageQuote:

I believe Kalle did three passes with the same tyre, each one slower. Then the fourth one with fresh tyres. Suninen clearly took it easy after the spin.
Don't forget that this tyre is after 3 runs of SD.. Suninen cruised thru after crash..
OK, that explains then. Only my presumption that 7km should be OK was wrong, they started loosing some studs earlier than 7 km :) wrc driving puts more pressure on studs then my Subaru :DQuote:

What did Martin Järveoja mean by that? Two runs of shakedown. Have I missed something?

3 runs is approx 21.5km, the length of the longest stages....Quote:

Shakedown is completed for us and the feeling is good with the #YarisWRC! The most important will be to focus on the comportement of the car with the different conditions we will have and adapt our driving accordingly.
Well said JM !
Suninen mistake https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SYz-...ature=emb_logo
I don't understand, what Suninen is doing in WRC...... or....is it Ford that bad?
Well it's pretty impossible to predict results atm.
- Road position: First runners might suffer from cleaning on the gravel parts, but loose less studs so can push more overall, late runners might suffer on the parts that get softer
- Tire conservation: Obviously the drivers have to be clever about keeping the stages for whole loop or even just from one part of stage with gravel to the icy part
- How much risky each is willing to take: Ogier and Neuville probably a bit less than others, but then again they don't win rallies by playing it safe
- Cars: Only Hyundai has tested in something similar, then again Hyundai is usually the car that is most tricky to set up, further Likenas which will be a big portion of the rally is stage where Hyundai never did well
Could be some interesting times from R5 crews on Pirellis during the rally if they manage to keep their studs better.
What kind of tyres are available to the drivers for sweden?
Only studded, or can they choose gravel where that is the best option?
bit of a strange one.Quote:

Seems like Jocius is missing from startlist for tomorrow. Has he withdrawn officially and I just missed the info?

I have to say that I'm excited about this rally. The varying conditions, tyre preserving, the shortness, everything. Difficult to predict. It will be short but intense! Hopefully I won't have to miss a minute of All Live. Of course I hope the roads will withstand and the weather won't turn worse, and stages are not cancelled. But if the conditions would be like today (and some ice in the forest), it would be fine.
There's nothing better to choose also.Quote:

Doesn't get any more royal than this duo!
Ogier will be joined by navigator HRH Prince Carl Philip during tonights event at Färjestad, Karlstad. HRH Prince Carl Philip is a true rally fan and we believe they make a great team !
Nine crews have withdrawn their entries:Quote:
