Swedish Rally 2010

I'm prepared to be called stupid if he does win, but I'll also eat my hat, run naked up and down my street and where a t-shirt saying 'I have no penis' everyday if Gronholm wins. In an old, Stobart prepared car he has little to no chance. It's Loeb's to lose, and Mikko will tidy up the pieces if Seb doesn't win. After that Latvala and Petter are still ahead of Marcus.

He may have been a legend in Sweden, but as N.O.T likes to say, a 'has-been' will not win any rallies and with Marcus' extended absense he certainly is now a 'has-been'.

It would be good if a 'has been' wins. :)
And if one of them wins, especially Solberg, I will celebrate. :beer:

I agree with pettersolberg29 (though would never make such rash promises, forumers have had to eat their hats before!). Think it'll be as usual between Loeb and Mikko at the front but will be interesting to see if Mikko is still improving after last year.

Is there any inboard online from the shakedown stage? Couldn´t find anything on wrc.com.

I found this one. The stage can´t be longer than 2 km´s?

the shakedown stage is 4km according to jbmarcus' google earth file.

Well with a small test and a not so fast car he was able to be 2 after the firt day on Rally of Portugal so I believe he may surprise some of us.

I really hope Marcus will mix it with the “factory” Fords so Malcolm will have to slow him down :D

The stage used in 2008 was in Karlstad. This year they are going to use Råda i Hagfors, so the length of 4 km could seem more appropriate. If anyone finds inboard from earlier years than 2008, please tell me :)

No need for that, he has been so long time without serious driving, top 4 i think is maximum, it's if the top guys drives without problems.
