WRC Sweden, An incredible start to 2011

Great rally, I enjoyed it very much. But in Mexico I think that Loeb will fight back!

He had to! Day one is perfect for him. Loeb has a good road position, if the dust blow away.

Great exiting rally congrats to Malcolm, Mikko and Mads!

I agree that it was a good start to the new era of WRC, and it is always nice to see new talent coming in (although Mads is not exactly new).

True, and I dont think Ogier will listen to team orders if they tell him to back off for Loeb:-)

Sorry, I made a mistake, they announced the 1minute concept last year and I thought they kept it, apparently its 2 minutes for the top drivers.

44.5.1
The first 20 P1 and P2 drivers on the start list and on the re-start lists will have an interval
between their start times of at least 2 minutes.
44.5.2
All other cars will start with an interval of at least 1 minute.

What I hope is the new Ford engine will work well with high altitude so there'll be another good battle, the previous Focus did pretty poorly in Mexico against Citroen.

What an amazing event, I was there and once again I've enjoyed every single moment of it. And hopefully this is a great start of a closed fight for the title :up:

I hope for no team orders. I support Loeb, but if Ogier is faster, so be it. It's way too early for team orders.

Citroen pays the bills and made ogier and loeb millionares....when citroen tells them to jump they do not even ask how high...this goes for any professional driver.

are you guys for real ??
