Rally Sweden 14-17 FEB 2019

can someone explain why the first on the road loses so much time on the second loop ?

No heli, no WRC2 shown

Ogier lost exactly the same amount of time last year on second pass of Hof-Finnskog to stage winner, 28 seconds, and 2 minutes to the leader with the whole afternoon loop!!!!!

Probably slush on the road, that gets dragged away with first cars.

It will change from snow rally to gravel rally. More grip, more speed.

really lol?

I think its self-explanatory

slush, water on ruts, different lines created etc

Pietarinen again lost 2min. So promising rally for him and turn-out for such .....

Veiby again fastest R5 on his "home roads".
