i do not see any subarus infront...do you ? you refer to second pass thats why you see the subarus infront

Greg last year Sandell wasn t from the fast crews with s2000 cars.Imho we have to compare fastest s2000 crew at stage,if we want to have some near right comparison.
About Viggen 1 again Sandell was equal with Flodin with scooby.Also at whole rally was slow if you see all special stages.No near fast with other s2000 crews.

and again if you compare the time....sandell was 40 seconds slower that the scratch time last year during 1st pass and he is 30 seconds slower this year than the scratch...simple math.

no reason to discuss any further.....this argument made me even forget how useless kimi and wilson are...

I agree.

Hopefully this year won't be another Loeb year, as a snow rally is usually not so predictable as other rallies.

the fastest crew is not the same driver.....so you compare different things....Andersson can be a better or worse driver than sandel......when you compare things you must keep as many constants as possible for safe results.

And last but not least, a new tyrebrand. Not sure if the Michelins are better or worse than last years Pirellis. But an important factor !

3.9 sec lead for Østberg. Will Hirvonen take over the lead after this stage??

Hopefully not. I am absolutely no fan of Hirvonen. Østberg has the future and is much more spectacular in my opinion.

Ostberg doesn't have the experience to open the road and run outside of others lines....so i guess Hirvonen will pass him but he has to keep pushing so anything can happen. Currently as results are formed i see no difference or change in the attitudes of the drivers so i think the championship will be between Loeb, Ogier and Latvala with solberg always being the dark horse.

next stage is on....

Stage is on.
