Always interesting to follow the fights:
In N3 Bieltvedt and Grøndal
In 2wd Kristiansen, Larsen, Kjær, Røkland, Skjærmoen...
Btw, duting this season, Larsen looks faster than FFST winner Røkland with same car.

Its really good speed among the N3 guys, really impressing speed! They beat N4's, s2000 and old wrc's, difference in drivers of course, but still. Really good fight between bieltvedt and grøndal to ss4, there grøndal has an puncture and a small of, and lost his powerstearing. So bieltvedt won. Both these guys could win pwrc if they had the money to do it proper.
For the 'rodent' classes; Also impressive to see the speed of the R2 guys, and how evenly matched they are.
But the older N3 cars also had good speed, and the pricetag btw the two classes is quite big.....
Sulland, do you know if some norwegian drivers ordered the new 208 R2 for 2013 season ???? :confused:
Because I've just seen entrylist of Sigdals Rally, only Fiestas, Fabias and Twingos in that class(R2)...quite frustrating :mark:
I don't think so. Peugeot Norway is not interested in rally anymore.
Two more drivers have mentioned that they are planning to upgrade from Fiesta N3 to R2, but nothing on cartype.Quote:

Last year NRK sent NM in their webb-TV with no limits. This year we can´t look at the very good TV from those rallies abroad. Can´t you give us it on Youtube, please? To begin with Rally Hadeland...
Not NRK but ok, or?Quote:

R2 was the closest call, Røkland in Fiesta won 4 sec in front of Kjær in a Twingo Evo.
What's the view on Rokland by Norwegians? He is mentioned a lot it seems, and I've seen him once or twice in the UK, but doesn't seem to stand out too much. Has he got the potential for the top or just the top of lower classes?
Good news.
Up and coming young talent. In many ways R2 has become the tightest and biggest class in Norway in 2013!Quote:

Surprised to see Emil Lindholm 16y there with Fiesta ST
Esapekka Lappi Media
Onboard of Lappi-Ferm from Numedals Rally SS2. Easy to understand how they lost few seconds there for Subarus, Skoda hitting a maximum of around 170 km/h at the fast straights. I'm not an expert on driving styles, but isn't Lappi's style rather calm, stripped down, not overdoing it. At least the crew is relaxed; midstage Ferm says "that went well", Lappi replies "it went as it was meant to".
Gotta like their attitude in the cabin, always great to watch! :) Also some new developments to the notes, I guess the international experience has brought them.Quote:

Fantastic podium(3rd)for Pontus Tidemand in his Ford Fiesta R2 in Sörland Rally :eek: :up:
Acording to intevjues at last NM round, lots of drivers going to change cars!
Sure is try and frustøl in fiesta R5's, but atleast brynhildsen is in an R5 to ( not Ford), grøndal and bieltvedt, and some others, is also discusing R5's.
Grøndal is interesting, as an Subaru carshop owner (his family owns bilbutikken) he have to find something different than a Subaru. If not an R4, but not to many of those, and is they good enought?
Røkland most likely in an Citroën R3. Larsen, aasen, and all the other R2' guys looking for different options for next year to.
Seems just kjær and rolfsen in twingo R2 is sure they going to use those next year.
Frank Tore Larsen, norwegian Champion 2012 in R2, is change to an fiesta R5 for 2014!
3 R5's for sure, more to come....
Rumour for Brynildsen was a 208 T16 me thinks :confused:
Anyway I hope to see 208 R2s this time in Norway(2014) :bounce:
Yes, i think so to. But maybe things has changed, he is doing GB with fiesta.
Maybe some start the season with an s2000 or N4 and waiting for Peugeot and Citroën to arrive.
Follow the registrations for the first rally in Norway in 2014!

No shakedown and no SS2 due to lack of snow
Great drive by Aasen and Rökland :)
In fact they were very fast with the cars they drive. To bad for Aasen for withdraw when he was on 3rd position.Quote:

I don't know what was the problem with Grondal but he will have to push hard in other rallies to follow the pace of Larsen
very big crash for Aasen:
