Mikkelsen will entered in a Fiesta, spoke to him two days ago and he confirmed. Henning Solberg had nothing new to report or confirm, and frankly I don`t think he will be on the entrylist.
So, one day to go and we have:
WRC
1. Loeb Citroen
2. Sordo Citroen
3. Hirvonen Ford
4. Latvala Ford
5. Wilson Ford
6. Räikkönen Citroen
7. Ogier Citroen
8. Mjerkenstein Ford
9. Mjerkenstein J Ford
10. Kuipers Ford
11. Kuipers Ford
12. Grönholm Ford
13. Therman Ford
14. Grönholm Citroen
SWRC
1. Tuohino Ford
2. Sousa Ford
3. Prokop Ford
4. Brynildsen Skoda
5. Sandell Skoda
PWRC
1. Andersson Mitsu
2. Araujo Mitsu
3. Czech Team (Semerald?)
4. Linari
5. Frisiero
Other
1. Conon, F. Subaru
2. Boland, E. Mitsu
3. Solowow Peugeot S2000
4. Mikkelsen Fiesta S2000
5. Kresta Mitsu
6. Green, B. Mitsu
likely will be there but not confirmed:
1. Ostberg, M WRC
2. Henning WRC
3. Gröndal wrc
So, 30 confirmed and 3 likely to be confirmed so far.
The list on the web-page seems like some kind of fragment.
Based on what Iskald has posted looking at Rally Sweden entries and those or the IRC Monte Carlo makes me even more convinced that having two series competing for entrants is not doing either one of them good. Similarly if you take away the S2K Cup guys from Sweden its even weaker. I admit I DONT LIKE S2000, but if its the class that gets the entries...............
Yeah - if you add the Swedish and Monte entries together then there is a great entrylist with lots of great drivers. 2 series means each championship is half as good!
@bluuford: It's Gonon, not Conon... :p Unfortunately, the entry list seems to be very poor. :(
Ehh.. sry another copy paste mistake :-PQuote:

According to Värmlands Folkblad there is still a possibility for PG Andersson to drive a S2000. Peugeot Sweden has purposed a deal to him, in which he would be driving the 207 that previously has been driven by Sandell and Joge. According to VF PG says that if this is going to work, the swedish Peugeot retailers has to coopperate.
So PG is still not sure about what car. Anyway it would be great with little bit of a battle between PG and Sandell. =)
In PWRC or just rally sweden with a GR.N Mitsubishi?Quote:

28 drivers/teams on the list when entries closed at 15.00. Henning Solberg is not on the list, but his "manager" is quoted in http://www.motorsport.no at 12.19 today to be "70% sure" when it comes to Hennings continued rally career. He is also saying that they have "control" re. Hennings entry in Sweden. Don`t know what that means, maybe a deal with the organiser/FIA for a possible late entry?
Mikkelsen is also not on the entry list, but that surprises me, because he said two days ago that he will do Sweden in a Fiesta S2000.
Yeah maybe the article is outdated.. =)Quote:

Hello, In 2009 I regale the Rally d'Italia Sardegna, and I hope to regale in Sweden .........
For photos from sardegna, you can visit my site:

Proper rate of World Rally Cars (I assume Ostberg on the list too), but the entrylist is really poor. Didn't thought we come to the point to see only 5 or 6 Swedes starting the SWEDISH Rally!Quote:

Remember that there's a Swedish Championship round running on some of the stages that form the WRC round at the same time, so you may see quite many swedes anyway. The entries for that round closes at midnight and is separate, so you may want to check out that one too :DQuote:

+ the swedish national championship round, it will be a great rally
Now it's realy much better :)
Yep looks good to me. Shame Galli isn't around but hopefully he will appear sometime this year.
Per-Arne Sääv in a Fabia S2000? Is this really true?
Great entry list, too sad Gigi isn't there :(
Interesting to see Henning is still in his 08 Focus - surely he would now have an 09 one for the Stobart Team?
Anyway, much better list now than 24 hours ago - good number of battles for lower points postions and even chance for a fight for the win if JML and Petter and even Sordo can get to grips with the Mikko and Seb duo!
Also look forward to seeing Mikkelsen in the Fiesta S2000 - might be more representative of the Fiesta's speed than Mikko in Monte Carlo. Andreas is incredibly talented, but Mikko should take the Fiesta much further than most drivers could.
The list is very good, for the first events of the season it's a perfect!!
Yep, it's true! He has a wildcard from the organizer... :)Quote:

Henning Solberg with Ilka Minor on Swedish Entry list :D
I don't regret booking flights back home now :p
I see that Gronholm is driving for "Stobart" Guess he will be nominated?
How come the Fiestas are listed as class A7?
Most interesting things are Marcus, Kimi and S-WRC. Other than that the list looks a lot like most rallies from 2009.
Grondal in gp. N Impreza?
Very nice moments and photos!!! We were 3x on Rallye Sardegna too, very nice island and very good race. Maybe we going to in this year to the IRC race.Quote:

Sardinia will be IRC so it will be more interesting than in the previous WRC years!!Quote:

Currently no warm weather on the sight. At least not on next 2 weeks. And plenty of snow.Quote:
