Actually, shakedown was near Karlstad. The other stages are in a little bit better condition.
Yes, gravel started to come out after a couple of cars. I think most of it came from the cars cutting through the ditches, where there would normally be snowbanks. Ruts started forming too. There will certainly be some gravel on the second run of the stages tomorrow and saturday and sunday. Although it wasn't too bad. After roughly 2½ hours of the stage had gone, there was a FIA Safety car that went through (I think to check the condition of the stage) and rally cars kept coming after that so they must have been happy with it.Quote:

It is now clear that Urmo Aava Citroen C4 WRC turbo broke down during the first run of shakedown. The turbo was changed and it should be ok for the rally.

Which says that the trucks "from citroen" which where stopped due to drunk driving i Gothenburg had nothing to do with the rally. So the headlines that told us that loebs car was stuck in Gothenburg were pure bull****.
:( :evil:
Can you translate us why?Quote:

I'm assuming Aava stopped pretty much straight after, whereas you saw Sordo continue drivingQuote:

WRC.com will have live coverage form SS in Karlstad today??
Nice photo of Galli :D
looks nasty with all that mud :(
Yes, really this is the perfect rally for their driver lineup. Andersson was strong in the shakedown, it will be interesting to see how he does vs. Gardemeister, in that respect he did quite a surprising performance on Monte.Quote:

This is going to be so exciting, one of my favourite rallies.
I'm expecting full attack from Mikko. Let's see how he can hold on against Loeb :)
Why does Loeb & Co have a golden helmet?
Ok, its their 100th rally... :D
