18 WRC cars so far, 11 S2000, 1 RRC and 1 R4. Not bad.
The polish driver Michal Solowow who is going to drive a Fiesta WRC in Sweden - is he any good?

short answer is NO...but not a complete tourist either mainly because of exprience rather than skills, in sweden if he manages to be in the top 10 of the s2000s i will be amazed.Quote:

I wonder if he has the budget because there hasn't been any press release and/or media event as well as nothing on his website... Ofcourse I hope for the best. :)Quote:

Mikko Hirvonen and Craig Breen will drive Rally Finnskog (the same region where the 1st day of rally Sweden will be held) just 1 week before Sweden 2012. Probably more priority drivers will entry in a few days.

I wonder which 2 we're still missing.
Why does Henning choose MC instead of Rally Sweden then, if lack of money?Quote:

Remember how many stages Ford's new No.2 won on Monte last year?Quote:

Hirvonen won in 2009 as well... and Ogier in 2008.... so...
maybe sponsors for Henning and Wilson Jr have gone wrong, and that they will not show for MC either?
