A podium can be possible for Sandell tomorrow, as he's 4th of Pwrc less than 20s behind Prokop... :rolleyes:
I must say I am rather disappointed with how Sweden has turned out.
It is normally one of the rallies with a strong entry list and close battles, but all the gaps in the top 8 are huge now, Wilslow is well in the points, Gardemeister is 9 minutes off the pace and still in the points and there is still a day to go.
i ve seen a video from safari rally 80s ? and a nissan 240rs was in a ditch with mud
the car was full of people round the car, and trying to push it from 4 different directions, big fun to watch it!!
not big fun if you drove that nissan also!

THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST EVER!!!!!!!
Tuominen should decide whether he is a co-driver or TV-commentator.
Tuominen is commenting co-driver :crazy: What's wrong with that :pQuote:

This event is like a breath of fresh air we have someone new leading and also a new name and car with Sandell in the 207 S2000 so I would say the opposite.Quote:

In short: Was amazed about JML's pace and joked about why couldn't Sebastien have similar difficulties while he was still driving. When asked if he would like to be back on stages in Sweden said that no as the conditions are what they are but in case of proper winter conditions his feelings could be different.Quote:

Tom, you are not reading my quotes at results? :arrows:Quote:

I am wondering the same thing. Will he get the 5 minute pentalty for next round like Sordo did for this one?Quote:

Definitely not. First, he must have finished rally and moreover I think that this rule is for pairs of events, in this case Monte and Sweden.
He will not get 5 minutes for the next rally because he retired and he can freely change the engine.
At the Mnte Carlo rally Sordo changed the engine and finished.
The pairing of the engine is not exactly 2 and 2 anymore like in 2007 I have heard some were on the forum (Sordo's 5 minute penalty tread). Only that a manufacturer may use only a limited number of engines, so 1 engine must be used for more than 2 rallies. So in the 3rd connected rally Loeb may use a new engine.
At Monte Sordo finished and then change engine. During race you cannot change engine.Quote:

Yes, Rally Norway had very big budget and paid for everything. But it was very nice rally.Quote:

They were thinking about cancel this event a week ago, but they still hoped that weather would be better...Quote:

I slid wide on a tightening corner of the first stage and went off the road and into a ditch. We were around six feet lower than the road and I thought my rally was over, for sure. But before the car had even come to a halt, a crowd of huge Swedish fans was gathered around the car and started pushing us back towards the road. Or at least, I thought they were pushing!
They literally lifted the car back up onto the road so that we could continue! It was absolutely unbelievable. There were a couple of times when it was steep that I had to start the engine and use it to help them - help them! - but it was them who got me back. And without their help, my rally would have finished there and then.
Another group did exactly the same later on in the day, when I slid off again. The conditions were very tricky for me with almost no experience of snow and ice and again, it was thanks to the fans that we were able to continue.
When you're in the car and the adrenalin is flowing, you don't always remember to thank those who help you but I want to say an enormous thank you to everyone who helped us today. Again, it is this kind of spirit that makes the WRC such an amazing sport and I hope that one day, I may be able to repay their efforts. Offering them some Abu Dhabi hospitality would be nice, if that were possible...
