We talked with you about this before too, and about the meetings that did lead to this.

Ahh, now I remember perfectly. Haha. Thanks for the reminder!

However, that wasn't (at least from my point of view) exactly the same discussion. It was more about wether the the Swedish Rally should support (by personnel, knowledge, etc) the Norweigans or not. But not from the perspective of the own rally being run just every second year, because everyone at the rally have always seemed to consider that as a bad idea that is difficult to handle in practice (=economically).

However, it's interesting. I'll try to ask the guys this weekend to make the image a bit clearer :D

Kimi had 5 runs though, and Ostberg only 2. If you compare with Kimi's 2nd run time, he was 10s slower than Ostberg!

Some of the drivers saves their "SD tires" as they can add them to the total numbers of tires.

Have they stopped updating the list, or will the P3 cars also come in to the list ?

Anyone knows if there's any drama involved to Grönholm's 4th and last run where he timed a minute slower than on his fastest run?

So Marcus' Focus (EU07SUF) is the same Latvala drove most of 2008 (winning in Sweden) and Aava, Solberg and Villagra drove altogether seven rounds last season.

How is this rule? Is it only P1 drivers? For example Östberg who is P2 did only 2 passes.
11th February 2010, 13:26

maybe for manufacturers scoring drivers...?

(loeb, sordo, latva, hirvo, ogi, kimi, marcus & matt)

Quote:

Four passes minimum at Shakedown
A Shakedown stage will be organised as both a media and promotional opportunity, and for competitors to trial their cars. For registered Manufacturers and WRC Teams, each car entered shall complete a minimum of four passages of the Shakedown stage. Shakedown may take place on part of a stage of the rally.
