Good interview with the man of the moment and his lovely parents too.
Theres something endearing about Evans and personally, I would much rather him become WDC than Meeke.

I doubt that. They will move the southern most stages to northern most Värmland and maybe Lima but I don't think they will move from Karlstad/Värmland completely.Quote:

Almost looks like Evans is pushing the tyres off the rim. That's some difference in suspension stiffness.Quote:

Amazing job from Makinen team and BOS suspension.

While it's certainly job well done to those that went to clear it saying they "saved Evans victory" is kinda bit of a stretch. If he slowed/stopped seeing it on the road he'd get time back for sure based on onboard.
The only risk was if he crashed (into it or out of the road). Then he'd get nothing as we have seen in Australia 2018 with the tractor.
Sorry, then it was a joke i got.Quote:

Fiesta looks closer to Yaris than to Hyundai in similar situations though. Hyundai just looks like a rigid block, even more so on tarmac.Quote:

So how good are these studded tyres? Unbelievably, the grip offered by studded tyres on snow is actually superior to that generated by treaded tyres on gravel. On gravel, a World Rally Car will cover about 125 metres as it accelerates from 0-100 kph. On snow, only about 107 metres are needed to get to 100kph. That’s a whole 14% faster, give or take a bit.

What about studded tyres on frozen gravel? ;)
faster too i guessQuote:

”We told FIA that we are ready to bring gravel tyres for some stages. Never got a real answer”. Read it from the next Vauhdin Maailma magazine how Michelin was prepared for Rally Sweden. #wrc

There was not much ice on the road where we were and at Finnskogen there were only very few spots.
You can't say much about Likenäs. If it is plus degrees for more than 24 hours and in addition heavy rain and wind, ice and snow disappear very quickly. It was the right decision to cancel the first round of the stage.
However, it seems that tires and roads held much better than everyone thought it would. So I am happy that they could drive even though they obviously would have liked to have seen a longer rally.
About the future of rallying, I think you have to try to find more snow-safe stages even though this winter is the worst in almost 30 years.
A big thank you to everyone who was involved in the rally and especially the marshalls who worked in to the end to get so god roads as it could be under these conditions.
