Who is Jerker Axelsson? Tell me more about him. Thanks in advance.

He has a big MC import business in Trollhättan and drove SRC in a Renault Clio by the time Sandell and PG did SRC around 2004-2006. Very fast at the time. Then he had some years off and came back driving N4 a couple of yrs. Last year he bought one of the two Subarus of Olsbergs (driven by Rådström/Tobias Johansson) and suddenly he is one of the fastest in Sweden again.

A big congratulations to Ramona and Miriam for their silver overall in the championship and
to the overall victory of the final round of the Swedish Championship.

Jerker Axelsson had a lead with 18 seconds before the stage but he suffered a flat tire
and lost several minutes on the final stage. Jerker Åhlin shared the 2nd place in the rally
before the stage but he was 1.8 seconds slower then Ramona on the stage.

More drama in the 2WD championship, both Leif Peterson and Tobias Söderqvist had the chance
to win the title. However both have suffered problem. Peterson had a flat rear right tire
and the entire wheel is damaged. Tobias Söderqvist is several minutes late, it seems
that Söderqvist is a DNF.

How many countries have an overall female winner in championship round?? Yes, I know. Probably Michele won in the 80´s. But in modern time?

For sure it should be Sweden to be first in that game...

Big congrats to Ramona and Miriam!!

Ramona is good driver but level of Swedish championship is not that high.

Agree, but several stagewins and in equal competition with Fredrik Ahlin in Skoda S2000 proves that the speed is there.
