Yes it is 200 000 Swedish Kroner. For some reason the google translation took kroner and made it to euro - sorry for that miss !
But he needed 500 000 SEK, and now has 400 000, so he should be close !
The Swedes deserve this, to have one car in the "King-Class" in their home rally !
PG will be a dark horse !!
it would defenetly be very nice, remember him beating the top top drivers a** in norway 2009 with the old fabia, that was amazing!
So, PG will drive a WRC Fiesta?
What is the cost of such a car?
Should be cheaper than the focus wrc
that´s the right definition: ... SHOULD BE !!!Quote:

I dont know if I got this right but the cost is approximately 100 000 Euros for Rally Sweden.
Price for rent Focus WRC 2010 and Fiesta WRC 2011 is absolutely the same...
And for sweden that is aprox ?
No I think no. 7 is for the Munchi's WRT entry because they came in 5th in last years Manu title and they are confirmed as a Manu team this year (just not for Sweden).Quote:

Does anybody know what the money price is for winning the Manu title?. In F1 a constructor get app 40 mill UK punds for winning that title, whereas the drivers title "only" gets the trophy.
Really?? The 2010 car costs a lot more. Am i wrong? It should be a little cheaper to rent the FIesta.Quote:

It should be, but it isnt. Citroen and Ford wants the same price as for "old" WRC car...
think we should stop such a endless discussion about costs !
just tell me, how the weather is around hagfors - especially snow conditions
Somebody know the time plan of the Swedish Championship?
40 km west of Hagfors, close to Vargåsen stage.Quote:

The weather at the moment +3 degrees and rain (after a real snowstorm last night). But that's not to bad, the forecast is colder again on tuesday so this will only make the roads icy and nice. All and all, this is the best conditions before the rally in many, many years. It's a long way to go unfortunately.
It's such a pity we won't see somebody like PGA or Hanninen or another "local" top S2000 driver (Ketoma, Rantanen,...) - they could make the life of the WRC driver much more difficult there - and put the shame on all the paydrivers. The opportunity will never be so huge like here in Sweden.
Juho on an Austrian website:
"...Ich gehe davon aus, dass der Unterschied zwischen einem S2000 und einem WRC nicht mehr so groß ist wie zuvor...Ich glaube jedenfalls, dass man bei einigen Rallyes in einem guten S2000 den Speed der nicht ganz so erfahrenen Piloten in den neuen WRC’s mitgehen kann...Ich möchte jedenfalls in die Punkte fahren und bei der ein oder anderen Rallye in die Top-Sechs oder Top-Sieben fahren..."
I'm not sure Sandell, Brynildsen or Prokop will manage this...
Hello all,
My first reply, and it´s for ask some information about stages.
Last year, was my first rally sweden. Here, some photos that I had taken on the rally:
http://www.facebook.com/album.php?ai...3&l=ec2eeb8439
The first day, we´re looking to try to see 4 stages, but we haven´t stayed never in Vargasen, and don´t know nothing about the new stage in Norway.
-Vargasen: We will avoid to go to Colin´s Crest. Anybody know some good spot in the stage, near the road access. It´s interesting the access 4A, by Ransbysätter??
-Lovhaugen: The member Iskald, talked about a straight with a famous double jump before a junction. Which junction is it? Will be a road access?
Thank you very much for your help.
Best regards from Catalonia.
This could be the livery 2011 for the Fiesta RS WRC

This is the S2000 Mads will be using on the national scene, it might be that Coca Cola is continuing from the Orange S2000 he used last year, where Coca Cola had a place - and that Coca C will have a bigger place on the WRC car - maybe...
I am coming over for the rally next month and wondered what the mobile 3G coverage is like around the stages?
-Vargasen: We will avoid to go to Colin´s Crest. Anybody know some good spot in the stage, near the road access. It´s interesting the access 4A, by Ransbysätter??
Ransbysätter is good I would say. Real fast straight if you go to the left in the junction and fast over bridge and over open fields to the right (or straight forward) in the junction.
But please don't avoid Colin's crest. It's quite spectacular if you go to the top of the crest (which most people don't) and we will try to supply real fast information in English through the speakers regarding the standings (which Swedish radio is very poor at and the 3g mobile net has a bad habit of breaking down in the woods with so many people trying to surf/call)
However, if you don't like the chaos on Colins Crest, I would still prefer the Colins Crest access but continuing longer than the crest (towards the start) and the corners alongside lake Jangen. Really nice. But longer to the parking if you are in a rush to the next stage.
(My rally-gang is from the area and have throughout the years avoided the Colins Crest because of the chaos with (in our opinion) lousy speakers, giant screens etc. But then we were asked if we could do the job of measuring jumping lengths and speaking to the audience and we will now try to do this as informative and rallyfan-friendly as we can. At least, we get good spectator spots.)
Indeed John good example is maybe Ypres 2 years ago I think with Europcar who was logistics partner and give the organisation +- 40 cars and some other stuff with doing that they were on the poster and stickers of the rally. Sponsor or partner doesn't need to be payed by money always..Quote:

Thank you Vargasen; I have found one oneboard video of the Stage, that I can see the area of Ransbysätter and it´s according your description. I think that the pass trough the bridge before the junction is an interesting and a fast zone, much more fastest arriving!! Min. 3:30Quote:
