Swedish Rally 2010

I don't know exact dynamic radius of snow tyre but with tarmac tyres top speed of Fabia is either 171 or 179 km/h.

Don't they have three different gear ratios to choose from?

As far as I know there are only two for Fabia.

Nasser said in Qatar his Fiesta was at 165 km/h top, so also they need longer ratio for Swedish....

The same problem applies to all of the s2000 cars, the longer gear ratios leave to low torque engines short of power and still short of top speed.


Kristian Sohlberg swifted back to group n Impreza as he said there's no chance to succeed in a S2000 car in Finland and his results since have pretty much proved that.

However results of Hänninen or Alén proved opposite.

Looking more in-depth into the groups and classes in the various championships (JWRC, SWRC, PWRC & WRC), would it be fair to say that if it is a Ford Fiesta, Skoda Fabia or Peugeot 207 it can only be a SWRC entry, if it is an Evo or Impreza it can only be a PWRC and if it is a model such as a Suzuki Swift, Citroen Saxo or Renault Clio it can only be a JWRC entry?

Every JWRC/SWRC/PWRC competitor pays very expensive championship entry fee. If You let every competitor in suitable car take points (like in IRC), You would spoil FIA/ISC business...

Obviously not all drivers will be eligible to take points, but I am fairly sure all I am talking about is not so much the eligibility of certain drivers to score, as the eligibility of the cars within the JWRC, SWRC, PWRC and WRC.

'Class' and 'group' for me is not enough for a new fan of rallying to understand how best to understand quickly and easily which driver/team combo will be doing what championship. If that fan could understand which cars are eigible for what championship then that would aid them to better understand and quicker who will be doing what. For example I didn't know Kari Hytonen will be doing Sweden but because he will be doing it in a Suzuki Swift I am sure it is in the JWRC.
