Rally Sweden 2014

Judging from todays stages average speed (except Finnskogen) it seems "real" rallye sweden will start tomorrow...

one question about tires: some people here are talking about saving tires, but there was not even one service between todays stages, how many tires are allowed per crew?

Too bad for Henning the puncture on todays last stage, almost a minute gone.

I think there was service between loops. 28 tyres with stids are allowed here I believe.

24 tyres per crew.
4tyres for Shake.

we have 6 service during a rally. So 24/6=4 new tyres per service. Any puncture - cost "not use new tyre at next stages". Quite strange rules from orga.

thanks all...still don´t understand why some crews saved tyres at shakedown though...

I just don't get those tiny shorty stages. And it's getting worse with the years.

it's a big question. Cuz SD tyres must be marked and return after shake.

I don't think there is much difference running 15th or 16th tomorrow. Ogier can make the difference he wants running even at front anyway. Like Mikkelsen said, he was using all old tyres during last stage, probably some of others (VW) changed 2 of them, probably not.
