long shot but anyone going?

 

No as i'm working all weekend,but looking forward to seeing it and hopefully mikko can get a win .

 

fully intended to but things change and cannot go now,not much snow there though ive heard so may spoil the experience.

 

Plenty snow forecast for the weekend over there.

 

should be good if there is fresh snow, as it will be a bit unpredictable grip levels! so skill will shine through! hopefully one of the ford lot can break through the barrier known as Sebastien Loeb...

 

dont know which forecast your looking at,because there was barely a few inches today!

 

and what would you know

 

The correct one.

 

Chris Atkinson was the fastest driver at today’s shakedown. He drove his Impreza through the 1.8km test stage in 1min 6.1sec, three-tenths of a second better than Sebastien Loeb and Petter Solberg who tied the next quickest time.

Because of the unseasonably warm weather in Karlstad, the stage was covered with only a thin layer of ice, and studded tyres soon uncovered gravel in the corners and braking zones. For this reason many drivers finished the four-hour session after only four or five runs.

The top 8 shakedown times:
1 Atkinson Subaru 1:06.1
=2 Loeb Citroen 1:06.4
=2 P. Solberg Subaru 1:06.4
=4 Galli Ford 1:06.7
=4 H. Solberg Ford 1:06.7
6 Mikkelsen Ford 1:06.9
7 Latvala Ford 1:07.0
8 Hirvonen Ford 1:07.2

 

Forgot about the live stage on wrc.com tonight.

 

You doing Blackpool next weekend Tim???
