The offical Sweden Rally Thread 2015***

The Hyundai is second too. Good drive by Thierry who seems to be driving a lot more maturely recently,

[Allyc85]

Thierry is a class act, I just hope the new I20 due mid-season gives him a proper chance to fight right at the front.

Seems like the ban on splits is working well. JML would have known Ogier had gone off if they still had them, and taken it a tad easier to the end of the stage.

[Skylinecrazy]

That clutch must be fked!

Bloody hell he gave that death!

[GravelBen]

Where are those people who always say FWD with winter tyres is just as good as 4wd?

[Pwig]

Do we think Ogier will pull it back?

What happened to Kubica by the way? I'm guessing he crashed?

[GravelBen]

Diff/driveshaft problems like Bertelli I think, left him with a Fwd car for a few stages. As far as I know he hasn't left the road yet!

He hit a snow bank on the second or third stage. Quite a few all hit the same bank though to be fair.

[Pwig]

Looks like mickleson has hit one of those magnetic snow banks and lost 20 seconds

[DanielSan]

Could well be a few more to fall victim yet, especially if they're pushing to make up time from a previous incident.

I'd be surprised if he doesn't.

[DanielSan]

Standings at the moment.

[DanielSan]

Neuville leading at the end of day 2. Tomorrow should be interesting to say the least.

[iva cosworth]

Very close at the top.

Maybe Ostberg even has a chance if enough people visit snowbanks.

[DanielSan]

I can see him getting a podium if he has a keeps things neat and tidy. Can't see all of the first 3 getting through the final day without some incident.
