Rally Sweden 2016

[QUOTE=Lundefaret;1080346]Weather is going to be a deciding factor on this years Rally Sweden.

- AL Qassimi: Will fight for top 5-6, depending on how many of the top drivers that will go of.
Speed: 6 Risk: 5

- Brynhildsen: Very fast, but was a little disapointing in the last Norwegian Championgship round. Is a "cutter". Can be very fast on the right day. I expect him to be one of the closest rivals to the Skoda gang.
Speed: 8 Risk: 7

Good preview. Thanks!

However, I don't think Al Qassimi will be faster than the WRC2 top guys. Top 10 will be as high as he can dream of.

Brynildsen was the only one with WRC tires in Norway last week-end. A disadvantage.

Yea, same here.
I'm flying on Thursday.
If it's cancelled we'll all meet somewhere and comfort ourselves.
But know let's be more optimistic :)

Up to 10cm of snow on saturday now, gravel would have been better :(

Well, weather is looking good but will be tricky when the snow falls, especially for nr 1 and 2 on the road. Looking good for Østberg, Latvala and MikkelsenAttachment 877

I'm a bit confused about the service park.
Is there something in Karlstad worth going?
Or in Hagfors?

Only morning and evening service in Karlstad and SSS before service on saturday.
Tyre and light fitting zone in Hagfors.

Great preview Lundefaret, but now we want this before every rally!

I agree with You on Al Qassimi, maybe a bit to positive there, wich is rear for me :)
Also agree on Brynildsen.

If its cold and ice and little or no snow, I also unfortunatly think we can see some dramatic accidents.

Depending on the weather, I am expecting a high risk rate of accidents.

Thanks :) But cant promise that :)

Agree on it probably being quite an attritional rally due to accidents. Also I can't imagine many people will bother to Rally 2 given the non-representative conditions. We've already seen people neglecting to do the reccy due to this. Some privateers may just opt to save money.
