Rally Sweden 2022

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.

It's been like this for years, for safety reasons. both start same time and cover half stage to clear the entire road in a limited span of time near to the start time.

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).

E. Bryndilsen said on the second round of national championship yesterday that he recommended Greensmith not to meet up cause it's so difficult rally.

Østberg (who was commentator), said Greensmith will likely get decimated by the local guys.

Either way snow is Fiestas weakest surface and Greensmith doesn't have any good record on it either.

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

What´s the difference between Swedish National or International rallies? Both on Swedish ground and very same conditions.

He can do Valösprinten Sunday 13/2... 3 x 3 K.

I mean, he can win local rounds but is it enough for WRC2 level?

The Fiesta on loose is a hard car to get to work.
Anders Grøndal have tried hard, but can not get it to work. He said in frustration he was happy he had 1 stage and 1 rally left in the car. Then a new car.

But PG has gotten his MkII to work well enough the smash the swedish opposition on snow. So lets see how that adds up against the top WRC2 bunch!

It´s enough, for sure. It´s winter. Podium definately.

All respect for PG Andersson, he was a top WRC driver, who had his peak at the wrong moment (when nearly all manufacturers left). But for me it would be surprising if he can fight against guys like Mikkelsen and Gryazin who are spending time in a rally car pretty much every week.

Does anybody know how much will be a ticket for a single SS? I can see only festival passes in rally shop. Last years has been pretty hard traffic, better sit in one place the whole day.

For that he has to beat 4 out of
Mikkelsen, Gryazin, Lindholm, Huttunen, Veiby, Kaur
all have been very fast on Snow and/or RallySweden

Hard task, not impossible but hard.
