super photos Hari ;)
Huttunen might get power stage points tomorrow. Again fourth fastest on this stage.
Torsby Sprint is such a better kind of spectator stage for both viewers and drivers. Karlstad and stages like it should be binned.
Huttunen again impressive and took WRC2 lead
yesQuote:

Nice that they go through the tweets sometimes. But it's not the first time I've featured there ;)Quote:

The fix can be carried out by anyone qualified, it does not need to be the cage manufacturer, although in most cases it is done this way, it is not a requirement.Quote:

Ogier not trying to make new frinds or fans. Took a penalty just because ”didn’t feel like driving in the slush” What a jerk. He made a mistake that was the reason for his startposition. Accept your own mistakes a be a man. My respect to him is 0
Nice experience on the forests so far! Loved the Röjden stage and also Vargåsen, I was located bit after Cc, I think really close to that spot from which Hari took those photos above. Did not like the Hagfors arena. Bad conditions, felt really artificial and bit boring design.
Others will follow until it is allowed and if they have to...it`s every man and team for themselves on those stages.Quote:

First time in Rally Sweden for us this year. Did as much as possible across Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Absolutely shattered! Very early starts, but worth it.
What an amazing rally for the WRC. Well run, some great spots and stunning scenery. Should be number one on your rally bucket list.
Always mind blowing to see these current spec cars in action, quite enjoyed seeing the new R2 Fiestas in action too, they look like fun.
Put a few pictures here, will sort some more and a video soon. https://www.flickr.com/photos/tomhlord/

What exactly did Ogier achieve with the penalty? More enjoyment and better testing road?
He build-up an OgierHaterFunClub! And he is very successfulQuote:

He could`ve just said fck it, i`ll be back on Sunday for the big points, you go and drive yourselves until then.
"A good day for us even if, once again, we had to fight with guys who were behind us," said the Belgian driver at the microphone of Olivier Gaspard, RTBF's special correspondent in Sweden. the second loop, the road improves after the passage of each car, so we really had to drive to the limit all the time, so we made a small mistake that cost us five seconds. is at the limit like that, we can make a mistake in every corner.We are not safe from a surprise.Here, Kris Meeke was careful enough, there was no trace created for the wheels back, I got carried away and spun, a quick spin, as we only lost five seconds, but those five seconds would have been important Sometimes it takes a bit of luck too, but in the end we got closer to the goal, which is to finish the rally in second place. give everything to finish second tomorrow. "

"We wanted to try to work a little bit, because starting in front, we take two seconds per kilometer and we get hot every two turns, it's not very interesting. nothing to lose, we decided to be more or less in the middle of the pack to have references and to try to work on the car, and on the feeling. "
This strategy "annoyed" a little Thierry Neuville and favored Esapekka Lappi ... "It's a Belgian remark, as usual, but even if it goes back in the starting order, so much to leave Esapekka, and that, it was a decision on my part, to help him a little bit, but not necessarily to help him in relation to Thierry, he is in a battle with several pilots and, having done so, we chose this place, obviously. "
"We're used to it, it's not a surprise," Thierry Neuville reacted, "they tried to play it strategically and try to benefit the cars that were behind us by putting Sebastien behind each other. The rules allow it, so why not play this card? It's part of the game, and when we have the opportunity, we'll do it too. So far, and especially last year, we've has rarely had the opportunity, but this year it will play all the cards. "

Suninen confirms rally2:
We continue in Rally2 tomorrow as seventh car on the road. @RallySweden has still something to offer for us. https://t.co/80gsUQecgu
Are people not getting this ? What he said was tongue-in-cheek.Quote:

Ogiers attitude will earn him nothing... he is not even a bad guy... bad guys have a following.....
he is that snotty little kid whining and screeching all the time that nobody likes or hangs out in school. When he retires nobody is going to remember his name even if he has 10 titles... he is nothing, nobody respects him apart from a few basic simpletons without any intellectual capacity to judge characters.
its a pity because he is a great rally driver.
I don't quite get it to be honest. How did it help Lappi that it was Ogier and not someone else starting in front of him?Quote:

Very very good lines by Huttunen to keep up the momentum through the corners

Not a good day for Tannert with officials

Julian Porter said on comms that as Ogier was flat-out he would clear more slush than the previous cars.Quote:
