    Nothing yet in swedish newspapers about Emil B. Unfortenately this looks like a last minute thing. A one off. But let´s hope it works out well.
    The driver we know. The Question is how about the team around when it comes to Rally Sweden?

    100+ entries for Rally Sweden 2016:
    When registration for Historic closed at midnight, the number of entries landed at 48. This, coupled with the entries to the WRC increasing to 55 meant that the total number of entries for Rally Sweden in 2016 ended up at over 100.

    While I understand they want to present the event in as good light as possible the title simply isn't true. There are 55 crews who entered Rally Sweden. The others who entered different separate classifications are not competitors of Rally Sweden.

    Shakedown will be held at Alster stage which have been used before.

    This was older News before this one:
    http://sverigesradio.se/sida/gruppsi...rtikel=6343849

    There it says that the Stage around Alster can not be run.

    The plan for this stage was also in Rally Guide 1

    According to motor.blogg.kristianstadsbladet.se old shakedown stage Rada is a backup solution:
    We have with it as a backup plan, in case the weather would be against us. Otherwise, we'll find a solution in Karlstad, says Magnusson VF.

    If you want to be more than correct: 55 Crews entered WRC Rally Sweden 2016 and 48 Teams Rally Sweden Historic 2016, which both firm together the event Rally Sweden 2016 per definition and marketing from the organiser.

    Well marketing definition doesn't matter. What matters is classification and 55 crews entered one rally and 48 the other one. The fact they both take place in the same time is of course true but they are two different events with different rules, different classification and different competitors. Of course You might find my point as nothing but grumbling but I just don't like using misleading titles for marketing purposes.
