Isn't he on Michelins this time? Protasov, I mean.

Kubica could be on a mission here. Swedish rally, depending on how warm it will be, is one of the event he really could succeed in. Pirelli seems to have done their homework. Henning should make a Quick change if he is on Michelins.
anyone know where you can see times of all WRC 2 cars on shakedown?

Accident for Solowow, injuring a photographer

no closeups of Kubica please... his ugliness is scary.
i think it all depends how nose in first he will be... in monte he was around 70% nose in first and he made mistakes... maybe this time he increases his nose in first winning formula, and also now that we are sure the pirellis are working great since the shakedown is a clear indication of everything in this sport i think he can win the event...
About Protasov if he is as nose in first as he was in the shakedown i also think he will be a problem of the VW team.
To all my friends and wrc family - Just got a call from Honza Froněk, he has a broken finger and bruises but he will be ok! He will be in hospital for few days. His mobile is also working but please give him some time to rest!
Colin is a nice person and not that ugly for his age... and maybe the only one worth something in the WRC radio team... at least he was a few years back, do not now if he is still good or he went with the trend of the radio. i stopped listening to that years ago.
Good to hear that he seems pretty ok after the accident.
Maybe a wake up call for all photographers who thinks they are safe because the have the media-vest.
( A couple minutes before the accident a photographer was standing in the outside of the same corner were Meeke did go off last year (400 m before Solowow), but in Solowow accident i think there was more of a unlucky accident)
Seen the crash on instagram, miracle that nothing serious happened to him.
Good SD runs by the Citroens... I'm hoping for a good result here for Ostberg & Meeke.

"Our tests went very well indeed,” reiterated Mads. “The conditions were perfect. We were able to work on the developments of the DS 3 WRC. This morning, we had slightly milder temperatures. There is already some melted snow on the racing line. The weather is changing quickly and gravel is beginning to appear. We have to hope that it gets colder again tomorrow.”
“It will be a new experience for me,” added Kris Meeke. “My aim is to produce the kind of pace you’d expect of a driver competing in his second Rally Sweden. The shakedown went pretty well. So that’s encouraging before the start.”
What account EstWRC?
Excellent SD time by Kubica too... he has looked really fast in testing & will be quick on the stages, but cant see him getting around unscathed...
