2018 Rally Sweden road program = 19SS + 314.51kms Norway loop DAY1 & new SS Torntorp + Torsby Sprint on DAY2 → http://bit.ly/2ysJSOv
Almost the same as this year, obviously the fast Knon stage replaced with Torntorp and like you said, Torsby Sprint added. Also Norway loop run in different order
Should be a new start to Hagfors adding about 7km. New start to Torsby also, seems like they've cut the fun part with the jumps...Quote:

I cheer for Pontus instead. If Ogier leave maybe both be up in the game.Quote:

i guess so yes but as far as i know Ott made the contract quite early and things may have changed since then but i doubt it.
Why not Pontus, he is the winner of WRC2?Quote:

=> So overall not very happy about this from competition point of view, even at best it likely gives us 2,5 competitive teams next year.
So the Tanak rumours were true. Shame for M-Sport but he had to secure his financial future.
I hope he doesnt come to regret it from a competitive point of view.
Rumours?Quote:

You really can`t listen to everyone or quite the opposite, have to listen to everyone, as there are allways many who "know" everything and sometimes get it right. Those who really are known and close to teams/drivers, don`t reveal specifics.
You got that right. Now everyone is embrace yourself how they knew from the beginning. But few posts back they were sure about their ''reliable sources'' that he stays. Go with the flow they said...Quote:

I know several commentators here who allways give 50-50 answers and in the process have failed or given false answers. Or make themselves interesting by saying/repeating something over and over again (ofc without saying the truth) .And even those who are usually correct, make mistakes. Been here also for a decade or so, just registered now. But you are also correct ofcourse and i didn`t mean to offend anyone also.
Saying you have info is not the same as having facts. A fact requires supporting evidence.Quote:

You don´t know how Pantealex gets his facts. Sorry man.Quote:

What I noticed is that only five drivers are doing a complete season this year: Ogier, Tänak, Evans, Latvala and Neuville. And interestingly, the only team to do so for all its drivers is M-Sport, the only privateer team. And probably that's also going to be the top 5 of the final scoreboard (Evans needs to get two point more than Sordo in two rallies, while Sordo is doing only one of the rallies).
