Encouraging speed from Henning - to beat Ostberg is impressive. Hopefully he can show his true speed for the first time in a while in Sweden and maybe secure a budget for the rest of the season.

gotta say I am very impressed with Henning's performance in an older spec car (Evo 6?) against Mikko in a state of the art World Rally Car.

[Viking]

Mikkelsen must have some kind of problem.Lets wait to enlight us some Norway mates.

As I understand both Mikkelsen and Østberg had an puncture on ss7.

Mikkelsen had a spin and a puncture.

Since they were most likely on different kind of tyres it doesn't say much.

[Coach 2]

Asen had a puncture in two stages, Mads on one and had problems with snow smoke in SS3.
Hirv tested different settup after all services (3).
Henning had great advantages of narrow tires, and I'm not sure what size he had on the restriktor.
But I can tell that Hirv was very impressive

Don't think we can put to much in these times, it was mostly a testsession
Mads car was ready friday night, due to missing parts.

Henning use narrow tires, maybe 1sek/km faster?
His old mitsubishi, 2sek/km slower?

What about Petter Kristiansen, ex-leader R2 and 2WDs(after SS6)

Kristiansen rolled at ss7 and retired, but there where only bodydamages at his car.

What happens with Pontus Tidmand ??? He's written "retired in SS1" but appears on SS5 and 6 ???

Pontus retired between the start and SS1 with throttle-problems.
Restarted on SS3, were he stopped on the stage and took away some freezing protection fore the cooler. ( Was around -30 degrees)
On the other five stages he was the fastest 2wd car...
