What?

Wasn't it said that maximum stage lenght would be 25 Kms? I tought i read this somewhere here before?
Because of hybrids?

Greensmith will prepare Sweden by taking part in the third round of the Norwegian Rally Championship with a Fiesta Rally2 (barring surprises as rally1s are allowed in Norway).

Gus is coming to test the JWRC Rally3 cars on snow and ice before Sweden.
So it could be he is driving a Rally3 or MSport have challenges on the loose with their Rally2 Fiesta. That cartype have not gotten much attention from MSport Uk, since most engineers have worked on the Rally1 car.

Maybe it is time to give MSport Poland all customer car classes, and keep Rally1 only in the UK.

And he used crowdfunding to get in parts of that, did he not?
How much of the budget did he get from that channel?

PG on top form is always quick in Sweden, so lets see how quick he gets in the Ford.

Yes it is true. From what I understood, it was SEK 1 million that was needed that way, but there were several companies that went in with larger sums.

Latest news was that it was missing about 200k sek 17/1 and then 24/1 that he was registered.

PG is very fast so it will be very interesting to see how fast he goes compared to the others in the WRC. I think he can surprise many as long as he stays on the road and the car does not break down.

Sorry, he hasn't driven WRC cars for a long time and last time I saw him in Sweden in WRC he needed to take more risks than anyone else we saw on stages. He is that type of a driver. He is good to see for the eye but everything you said will not happen for sure.

Not in the regulations. Maybe in practice though very few 30km stages

No. Interesting note is that FIA safety guidelines strongly recommend two 0-cars for stages over 30km long. Maybe it's even mandatory before they approve a stage in WRC, not sure. Not very practical for organizers.

He should not drive a WRC car, but an WRC 2 that he has been driving for almost 3 years now in Swedish championship (first a Fiesta Mk I and last year an Evo) so he has quite a lot of experience with that car.

I agree that he takes risks but think that many may be surprised by his speed. If he just stays on the road, I think he can reach a very high position.
In several competitions in the Swedish championships he hade competed against Tideman and from what I can remember PG has won all of these.

I looked at PG's profile and he's done basically only Swedish National rallies since 2014, I'm not expecting too much
