A little worried about Adamos’s words about safety. Hope all bring it home.

The prince has actually been driving competetively for quite some time. Both in Porsche cup and touring car championship... and in reality he is also of French descent.

Toyota's suspension seems to always work better than Hyundai on smooth gravel. Her as long as things stay frozen it will generally be very smooth gravel so they might be quite a bit faster.

Probably one of the reasons Hyundai is so loud about bad conditions, combined with them currently leading the championship.

IMO Toyotas seemed way too soft to have enough high speed stability. And the speeds will be really high as even with studs gravel is grippier than ice/snow.

Interesting morning @RallySweden
, we had high grip initially but lost most of the studs by the end of the second run. It’s unpredictable but we just need to adapt to the conditions as best we can and get the most from the weekend.

With such low/variable grip, we should at least get some pretty spectacular You Tube videos from the usual suspects this weekend!

It’s true the Hyundai always looks a lot ‘stiffer’ than the others, and when the surface doesn’t give up much grip, it seems to skate over it. On the other side when it’s really bumpy, the Toyota tends to look too soft for me, always looks like it’s banging and crashing around.
