Rally Sweden 2015

@MikkoWRC: I really wish this time the winner is either Neuville or Mikkelsen, for some reason

From twitter line :D

Nice win by Ogier, he clearly deserved it however I do agree that he should find a better way with words.

As soon as Latvala was out of the fight he didn't feel any real pressure anyway.

Frendship spirit, welldone!

Fastest 3rd sector by Ogier 200.7 sec, than 203.3(+2.6) Neuville, and 204.3 (+3.6) Mads
Andreas was a 2.2 faster on split2, so it lost to Ogier 2.6-2.2=0.4 sec on 3rd sector.
+0.7+0.4=1.1 sec at the end.
So you are wrong

So who will start 2nd in Mexico? Neuville and Mikkelsen are on equal points, it could make a big difference!

i guess Mikkelsen because he has two third places, Neuville has 5th and 2nd.

E: i was wrong, KKS said it.

What to say at the end : congratulations (again) to "crying" Ogier. He is the best, simple as it is.....
Biggest looser: JML, he really knows how to spoil his championship chances....
For me positive surprises: Neuville, Kubica, Abbring, Protasov.
Interesting rally.

MICHELIN Motorsport ‏@michelin_sport 50m50 minutes ago .@YazeedRacing @Official_iRally well done Yazeed proud to be your tire partner !

cuz your tire only 4th in wrc2 :D

VW retired Latvala's car at final service. This gives him freedom with linked components - like diffs - in Mexico.

O_o thoose tacktics awful

KKS explain it please(about linked components)

Very exciting Rally Sweden this year.
best in rally:
1) Ogier must admit he is best and for sure best car. He had most luck with the snowbanks asalmost everybody did visits in them
2) Neuville showed very good speed. can´t wait for new car.
3) Paddon not fast but did a good rally
4) Emil Bergkvist in R2 Opel Adam, did fast times and made the whole rally getting sooo uch experience for the future.
5) In a way Tanak, but I thought he´d more speed

Disappointments:
1) JML
2) Meeke. He can´t just blame he´s not been here so many times. You could see on his PET that his driving style should punish him.
3) Mads, but in his case car let him down, no matter what you guys could come up with.

On the whole:

Huyndai having good team and cars this time was reliable.

Protasov with penalty too

It's a quote... I don't know about what they talked. But maybe some parts can't use without his pair.

“An unbelievable finale. I am incredibly proud of this win. It is certainly one of my best. The
first victory in Sweden two years ago, when I beat Sébastien Loeb, was fantastic, but this was
even harder-fought.

Brynildsen was very lucky don't stuck in snowbank, on Varmullsasen

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-9Xy...ucZbGzIE27c8Xd one corner, all WRC2. A bit strange to watch that too heavy Impreza compare to all other.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=61JE...ucZbGzIE27c8Xd same corner, WRC only

Yeah I was wondering why they didn't have several of thos tow straps with all the hand loops built in, would have been much faster pulling out. Great to see Nordic cooperation...

Try to preciscera det här med olika områder.... In this world.....MOTORSPORT, there is a hierarchy, and those who 90% of the time just call most everybody is the sport....when they are incapable, and never even dared to do even a ''village event'' gets rather ridiculous and silly....
And he does have nothing but contempt for everybody in the sport and here in this little forum...
and many are sick of reading same droning crap for years..
Never humorous, never creative, never thoughtful, just everybody is useless and stupid in the whole rallyworld but him--and he is not part of it.

(Hur vet du han gär ett dug nyttig i labbet? Om han beterer sig på jobbet som har uppträdar här, och varför skulle han vara annat? Då finns en bra chans has är lika bruklösa där som här..)

And your analysis of me being jealous...:rolleyes:
Shirley you cannot be serious... I am jealous of nobody, especially a mere lab-rat, gissa igen grabben.

So JANVANVURPA who do you think you are to sit here on this god forsaken Forum, grading people on how good persons they are?! Do you think you know something about ANYONE on the internet? The answer is negative! The only thing we can know for sure and critizise here on this forum is how members like me, you and N.O.T is putting themselves forward. Im not the best one on that area, thats for sure. But you aren't either! And i would never judge you for that and start to talk about how low value you have in some sort of sick made up grading system based on what people write on a little forum on the internet. Sure N.O.T is negative, ignorant and shows nothing put a great contempt for other members. But i'm afraid that doesn't give you the right to put a big red FAIL on him as a human being.

It just gave me some big jelous vibes. Your text had JELOUS written all over it.

Yes btw i can read but it's hard to read something thats written by someone who can't write.

Congratulations for Thierry and I feel sorry to Andreas (they time will come, I believe that)

Hello, I dont know if it was mentioned here and search button is not working for me... But I have one question. There is still winning time of Yuriy Protasov on SS 6, but I dont believe it. He was surprisingly fast this Rally Sweden, but this time is completely out of "sense". From beginning I thought it was timekeepers mistake and I am surprised they didnt repaired it. Does anybody have any information regarding his time on this stage?

I write clear enough....I can only write my opinions of Tsolkas based on his endless, non-stop shït-talk towards everybody...It is my opinion, and shared by many. 100% negative is a failure as a human..
Never a word of humanity, happiness, joy ----what the hell is the purpose of doing a sport, or watching it if all you do is call the whole world stupid...


I know I can never tell a Swede a thing, so sit there and imagine what ever you want, but suggesting jealousy towards anybody, especially a little nothing like Grigoris is not even funny...

So maybe I can't write clear enough for your standards, but maybe you don't know what the word jealousy means. So I will help you learn connotations of English words better:

@J.Lindstrom You should read once again between the lines what John is trying to say in his first quote about our N.O.T. boy. Your latest quote is not proper enough to be said.

John has many points in what he said.
