He had to withdraw. I think it was gearbox problems.
Also regarding Ramona, she lost over a minute on SS1 due to a punctured tire.
*edit Ramona lost allot of time on SS9. I don't know why. But she still managed to bring home 3rd overall about 40 seconds
after Jerker Axelsson who won with an eight second margin to Eddie Hörbring.
Full results: http://www.resultatservice.se/rally/...ultat/1a9.html
Hörbrings second place should mean that his lead is now bigger then the remaining points to compete for
which means he is the 2013 champion in his class; "Trimmat 4wd". Ramona took a good grab around 2nd place
since Sääv had to retire and Ingemar Svensson only finishing fifth.

Re: Swedish rallying championship news
I read Ramonas report from the ESR and apparently the flat tire was not on SS1 as I thought but on a later stage that night.
However she did make a mistake on SS1, apparently she made a left turn instead of a right turn. :rolleyes:
Her co-driver said "höger ett" (right one) but Ramona still made a left turn. :laugh:

Still she was impressive by winning all stages last day. I saw her in her first run this season (first time in Fabia WRC) and the progress during the season is enormous.

He has a big MC import business in Trollhättan and drove SRC in a Renault Clio by the time Sandell and PG did SRC around 2004-2006. Very fast at the time. Then he had some years off and came back driving N4 a couple of yrs. Last year he bought one of the two Subarus of Olsbergs (driven by Rådström/Tobias Johansson) and suddenly he is one of the fastest in Sweden again.

Re: Swedish rallying championship news
A big congratulations to Ramona and Miriam for their silver overall in the championship and
to the overall victory of the final round of the Swedish Championship. :beer: :beer: :champion:
Jerker Axelsson had a lead with 18 seconds before the stage but he suffered a flat tire
and lost several minutes on the final stage. Jerker Åhlin shared the 2nd place in the rally
before the stage but he was 1.8 seconds slower then Ramona on the stage.
More drama in the 2WD championship, both Leif Peterson and Tobias Söderqvist had the chance
to win the title. However both have suffered problem. Peterson had a flat rear right tire
and the entire wheel is damaged. Tobias Söderqvist is several minutes late, it seems
that Söderqvist is a DNF.

Re: Swedish rallying championship news
How many countries have an overall female winner in championship round?? Yes, I know. Probably Michele won in the 80´s. But in modern time?
For sure it should be Sweden to be first in that game...
Big congrats to Ramona and Miriam!!

Re: Swedish rallying championship news
Ramona is good driver but level of Swedish championship is not that high.

Agree, but several stagewins and in equal competition with Fredrik Ahlin in Skoda S2000 proves that the speed is there.
-
Re: Swedish rallying championship news
Than again Ramona is in a 2,0l Turbo vs Ahlin in S2000 and with tarmac final gear, so his top speed was a litle over 160kph. From what I heard on some stages he was against the limiter over 20s in a straight so he for sure lost some time there.

If I'm not mistaken such short gearing for Fabia doesn't exist ;) If I remember well the short gearbox used to be 171 km/h but even on tarmac they sometimes use longer gearing (for example in Ypres the factory team uses top speed around 182-184 km/h).

Re: Swedish rallying championship news
To be honest I don`t know anything else but what I heard, and that was that top speed according to telemetry was 167kph, but regardless we know for sure that the top speed is alot less than in 2,0WRC cars

Maybe there is a small difference between gravel and asphalt tyre diameter and also bigger wheel spin on gravel. That would explain the difference of 4 km/h. Anyway You are sure right with big difference to WRC.

Re: Swedish rallying championship news
And it is not only about top speed. Ramona is not slow driver, but when she was competing in grN cars against rivals on similar cars, she was almost without chance. It is easy to be fast with fastest car in the field...

I most definitely disagree with your statement. Actually that is a pretty rubbish statement.
The car that is not all that matters. A slow driver will still be slow no matter what car he/she have.
What matters is the combination of driver, co-driver car and team.
A slow driver won't be fast or good just because the car is good.
Look at Kimi Räikkonen when he drove the superb Citroen C4, how well did he do? Not particular good.
Look at Matthew Wilson, for many years did he drive a good Ford Focus WRC? What was his result? Constantly slow.
And what about Hirvonen? A good car but still way off the pace.
So your statement doesn't hold up.
Regarding Rally Uppsala, according the Expert Lasse Johansson most of the stages weren't "flat out stages"
but rather slow and twisty stages where the advantages of a car with higher top speed is either small
or non-existing. You can clearly see on the stage times which stages that was.
You also have to have in mind that Åhlin could drive without pressure as he didn't have any championships
medals to secure which means that he could take bigger risks while Ramona who wanted to secure
the silver medal and thus backed off a bit to play it safe. Especially when her biggest rival crashed out
in the beginning of the rally.
Regarding her fast car, sure the Skoda is fast but she's not the only one with a fast WRC car.

And I dont agree with your statement. Especially older WRC cars with active differentials are "easy to drive" and it is no problem to be fast with them. We can see it in lot of national championships (here in czech rallysprint also) - some drivers are able to fight for stage wins (or at least podiums) with WRC cars, but in normal cars (like classic gr.N or S2000) they are really average...

I hear you´re not familiar with how the rally was performed. It was tricky stages, narrow roads and much loose material as well on the surface.
And taking Ramona´s performance for several or atleast 1,5 year ago doesn´t make sence as we all know driver are developing their skills over time.

Re: Swedish rallying championship news
It seems now that Ramona won't be around to defend her 2nd place since
she have decided to move on to the Rallycross World championship.
I don't know but I think it's a bit strange that she suddenly decides to stop
doing rally and instead moves on to Rallycross.
Also IMO the difference between this year's Ramona and previous years is not that
she suddenly is much faster since she have had the speed for a couple of year now.
The difference between this year and previous years is that she have been
much more consistent. Known when to attack and when to back off a bit.
Previous years she have been doing good stage times just to crash out because
going to fast or attacking too hard.
-
Re: Swedish rallying championship news
Yes, sad decision, but understandable because of all money I presume there is in RC at the moment. And also beatiful having a lady in the drivers set up...
However rallying is a decease and having started a rally you can´t resist coming back one day...
