Great times by Ahlin in his Fiesta R2 ahead several 4wd cars. Anyone could say me something about him? I have no idea at all

Åhlin was one of northern Pirelly Star Shoot out competitiors and won that event on Sweden. Even faster than Graig Breen and he drove Sti Subaru My07(?).
I was there and heard also that it was his first time when he really did pacenotes to rally, so that's impressing. In Sweden they drive all the times with organisations made pacenotes.

(i know that paasonen had the same treatment in finalnd but i think he was an exception)

No, he is not allowed all the passes he wants, PG has done really good times en several other rallies also, he did alot of top 5 times while he was driving for Suzuki and he did really good times i Rally Norway in an old Skoda Fabia WRC and he is really fast on gravel.

Rally radio plays ACDC "Highway to Hel." I think it's a bit colder in Sweden. :D
The point beeing that the stage is on, isn't it. And they play music.
No splits eather. (again)

Is the ss19 on or not?

Edit
Well they are working now.

I'm not sure how they do it, I don't think there is marshalls on the stages all of the time so there is a possibility that someone could do illegal recce

He lost almost 9 seconds on first split so I guess it was spin or stalled engine on start.

Does wind make big difference on cars with they road position? I think no wind is same for 1st on the road and 5th. no?
13th February 2011, 08:53
N.O.T

ØSTBERG M. / ANDERSSON J. "It was OK, we are pushing really hard. Absolutelly on limit, not able to go so much quicker. Couple of mistakes, but not too bad." from rally.cz

still 1.8 slower than mikko...pity the rally was diceded by the conditions and not the driving.

impressive pace from Mads!!
13th February 2011, 08:54
N.O.T

it does because the snow stays on the air and its like dust....drivers below 1st cannot see on places with many trees.
13th February 2011, 08:55
N.O.T

no chance for solberg to win now.... but he second pass maybe interesting if roads are destroyed.

Snow dust from the cars in front keeps hanging in the air if there is no wind

Latvala drops alot of time

Is there anywhere you can watch the live powerstage online?

Latvala also slower than Solberg but i guess this mornings shake he had calmed him down...or maybe wilson ordered to bring the points.

The greek loser here now complaining that Mikko has good luck. Pathetic.

Is there anywhere else to follow the splits than wrc.com which seem to have crashed?
13th February 2011, 08:58
N.O.T

Latvala had intercom problems and solberg was on the faulty damper.
