Interesting to see what Latvala can do tomorrow. According to MTV3 he's going to try something radical and will use Ogier's setup.
Latvala won't settle for a fourth place ever (long term)Quote:

By the way Nikara has had flu & fever during the rally, always means something...
Yes, it was in Stobart WRC Focus. When I saw onboard crash I was frozen, very massive impact on the high speed into the forest. He was really fast until that moment ... Were bad weather conditions, is it?Quote:

Even now, almost two years on, when Matthew flexes his right knee, the screw that was fitted to assist the healing process is visible.
I don't search for someone to regularly beat Ogier, but for a performance like Tidemand's one. Faster than guys like Novikov and not struggling with Neuville, who is not at all experienced in snowy conditions.Quote:

Get well soon Kaj!Quote:
Team says Kaj unwell last 2 days, saw doctor at Rally HQ, then to local hospital for check. Has heavy cold, sore throat, can't read notes.
Ketomaa, Al Qassimi and Henning Solberg retired.
Henning left the service park but had to retire at the road section because of the alternator problem.
Looks like Loeb is on full attack
I think we are seeing an OUTRAGEOUS battle between these two French virtuosos today!
Loeb & Ogier pushing like mad, gonna be a great day!!!!
I didn´t know Juho already paid for driving with M-Sport Ford at Monte and Sweden - of course that´s something different then.Quote:

This would have to be the first non-Scandinavian 1-2 at Rally Sweden if everything finishes like it is now?
No.
Do we have a live stream today?

Finland isn't a Scandinavian country (Only Denmark, Sweden & Norway are). Seem to be a common misunderstanding in here.Quote:

The term Scandinavia is usually used as a cultural term, but in English usage, it is occasionally confused with the purely geographical term Scandinavian Peninsula, which took its name from the cultural-linguistic concept.[1] The name Scandinavia historically referred vaguely to Scania. The terms Scandinavia and Scandinavian entered usage in the 18th century as terms for the three Scandinavian countries, their peoples and associated language and culture, being introduced by the early linguistic and cultural Scandinavist movement. Sometimes the term Scandinavia is also taken to include Iceland, the Faroe Islands, and Finland, on account of their historical association with the Scandinavian countries.[2] Such usage, however, may be considered inaccurate in the area itself, where the term Nordic countries instead refers to this broader group.[3]
Yep.
No HANA? :(Quote:
