He did South Swedish Rally 2009 in a WRC focus. However, currently there are no plans to do a larger comeback.Quote:

Last saturday during the norwegian championship rally he told that he never became comfortable with the S14. The car was unpredictable, unconsistent, unreliable and very difficult to drive, said Mads. However the Adapta team has a collection of S9s, S10s and S12Bs. Mads used the S12B last saturday, and he was very happy with the car - as he is with the S10, which is actually his favourite. I still think he will use the S12B in Sweden.
Mads also hinted that he was interested in driving a S2000 this season. The Adapta team has not confirmed their WRC programme yet. Last years problems with the S14 - and the probable decision not to rally it in 2010 - makes for a lot of uncertainty at this moment.
Harry Hunt is driving Fiesta, now that the classes seem to me all mixed up, is it a R2, S2000 or N3?
They should call Jari Ketomaa. Or vice versa.Quote:

It´s a Ford Fiesta ST Gr.A car class 7
But he's entered in MC with a R2.
And half of the S2000 cars are in N4 and half of them in A7 category for some reason...
That must be mistake. S2000 belongs to N4 according to international sporting code.
Is he a good driver ? I don't know him :o ops:Quote:

I've got the impression from the swedish championship that he is quite a good driver. Not the class of Andersson or Flodin or even Sandell but he is good.Quote:

Great entrylist btw. All classes have interesting names!
hum, maybe he will do a good perf' :)
What Fabia will he drive ?
Maybe the new one from Jarkko Miettinen?
So it is not a normal ST in N3 as he normally drives, but upgraded to Group A ?Quote:

Or will he use the same Fiesta R2 as he will drive in MC ?
They are saying that they had fax machine problem in Rally Sweden HQ and some entries didn't go through and some more entries are expected. They say that it is possible they have 60 entries when everything is cleared :-)
Interesting and surprising the presence of Dany Snobeck with the Bozian whale :eek:
Sure, nice to see the whale back! Can you inform us on who Snobeck is? I have no clue :PQuote:

He has driven with Seat Cordoma WRC, Impreza WRC and lately with whale.
He has done Monte Carlo rally nearly 10 times since 1979 with various cars (Renault, Mercededs, Volkswagen, Ford).
Couple of times he has done Mont Blanc rally and rally du var.
So, he is not stranger with snow :-)
And he is 63 years old, this year will be 64 :-)
Wow, I'm ashamed I didn't know who he is. However, thanks for the info. Nice with such an old man in the forest, just hope he's not an old gentleman :DQuote:

I think for most of us Dany Snobeck is better known as a racing driver, Le Mans -man, and top driver in Andros Trophy too!
If I don't remember totally wrong he actually rolled in 2003 on Vargåsen stage SS10?!
The former World's Strongest Man Magnus Samuelsson will start in a group N Impreza in Sweden :) More info on rallysweden.com (or on my blog if you need english)
PG Andersson changed his mind and drives a Skoda Fabia Super2000 in Sweden! What a class we will get! Andersson, Sandell, Mikkelsen, Brynhildsen, Prokop... Wow! That will be the fight of the rally!
Wau, do You know which team will he have the Fabia from?
I'll try to find out :)Quote:

That S2000 battle is really going to be something. Great news for us and for P-G.
PG and Mikkelsen are the fastest i think, and the fight for 3rd is between Sandell and Brynildsen. But don't forget Per-Arne Sääv... ;)
Mikkelsen should challenge if the Fiesta is everything it's made out to be. PG and Bryn should give a great battle - like a mini-IRC rally!
