Top time by Solberg by 4.3s and he takes the lead.

They said that the stages in Poland and Latvia were fast, but here the average speed on the 4th stage is over 133 km/h.

Average speed is like usual statistic - you can play with that, like putting extra chicanes to get average speed down but in reality - only in few places cars are driving slowly but rest of it they are flying constantly. For me it's just "let's to the things that on the paper it seems nice".
First loop done - competition seems to be nice on the paper, in practice, WRC-experience guys like Paddon and Solberg show why they have had reached there. As I understood, it's mostly new rally and new stages for everyone, so experience matters here how to get pacenotes done close to correctly and to be immediately on pace. No change to watch endless amount of onboard videos and memorize everything. Additionally - they are more used to that high speed from faster cars.

I watched SS3 on the local SVT1 channel but they just showed the ERC+ coverage.
At the end there was a feature on all the Solbergs doing the rally but no live action of the 'Legends'. They were saying something in Swedish about them and Colin's Crest so maybe they'll show them on that stage.

Locals may have some extra experience how to approach those road from speed and surface wise. It's the same everywhere. Compare Sesks in Latvia and now. He was way more competitive when he had the local knowledge. Compare Paddon in Latvia and now - not much difference. He is still there.

On Larsen:
Well, its "lokal", he lives like 300km from the stages, in a different country.
I don't know how these stages is compared to Norwegian rallystages, its probably only Hedmarksrally around Hamar that are something close.
But he has the speed and has done good preparations before this weekend.

Almost all Finn's since Paavo Nurmi who are fast in their sport have been called "Flying", particularly the 1960's rally drivers, but I was actually thinking of "Flying Finnish" - the timing line at...
What's the first thing to come to...
