Rally Sweden 14-17 FEB 2019

[Allez Andruet]

Huttunen in a Skoda....Have I missed something?

I think it's Hyundai that missed the meaning of "driver development program".

Entries very slow. Only 27 in wrc and entry closes on Tuesday

Monte-Carlo had 0 when entries closed.

Is there any other than Sweden and Finland which are spectator friendly by telling some entries before deadline?

[PLuto]

I am not surprised that organisers are not publishing draft versions of entry lists. There is lot of things and changes which are usually made also after regular deadline, on the other hands there are entered crews who doesnt want to reveal their participation before exact time. Great example should be Dani Sordo and Barum Rally - we had his entry form, but they wanted to reveal by themselves officially. That Dani's interview to spanish newspaper is different story...

Maybe it's a good idea for organizers to add an option to their entry forms, if you do or do not want your entry to be published before the publication of the seeded entry list.

Strong rumours turning into a fact about five Finnish drivers in WRC2017 cars for Rally Sweden. We can discuss some names, but I think we have to live through this week to know for sure.

One rumour is now out: http://urheiluuutiset.com/yhdeksan-v...in-mm-ralliin/

[HarriK]

Strong rumour is that Marcus Grönholm enters with Toyota Yaris WRC

Strong rumour is that Marcus Grönholm enters with Toyota Yaris WRC

Confirmed

BUT, there's a rumor of a fifth Finnish driver in a WRC car in Rally Sweden

[Allez Andruet]

Loeb (Hyundai) vs. Grönholm (Toyota) in 2019. What a time to be alive.

But who the **** could that fifth one be?

[AnttiL]

Thus all world champions (except Burns of course) since 1996 will be present at the event (Tommi team boss, Petter in a historic car)

[Allez Andruet]

The fifth one could have easily been Huttunen, but now that the Hyundai program is scrapped and he's entered with a Fabia it obviously won't be him. Really confusing. In a perfect world it would be a Hänninen/Markkula reunion, but that it won't be either.
