And that will interesting to see Tidemand´s pace against him..Quote:

Pontus leads by over 30 secs after three tests...
In fact, difficult to compare these 2 guys, they don't have the same tires. WRC tires for Mads, Norvegian championship tires (more narrow) for Pontus.
What tyres is Tidemand using? Mads is on WRC spec wide Michelins.
Edit. Traxx was faster. But is it sure that Tidemand is on narrow tyres? Wouldn't make much sense is this is preparation to Rally Sweden... The image in Twitter is showing Mads presenting wide and narrow tyres to TV crew, but it could be so that he's showing it because late-runners have narrow tyres, not Tidemand...

Pontus' & Mads' tyres.
Tidemand on narrow tyres. He says he wants as much speed as possible like the conditions in Rally Sweden. He´s doing his own thing, he says on Norwegian rallyradio. Now taking a 44 sec lead on SS4...
Mads having problems with a lot of snow, driving first on the road.

Is it rational(pontus) not to use wrc-spec tyres for Mountain Rally when this event is a <shakedown>for rally sweden?Can somebody explain to me??
Explanation from Tidemand was "getting as much high-speed experience as possible". I don't understand it but I'm sure he and Even have thought it through.Quote:

AgreeQuote:

No you cannot. FIA WRC rally -> FIA WRC rally regulationsQuote:
