The Rally of Sweden has become two years evidence that gives the signal to the WRC season. In addition many snow has allowed to see beautiful landscapes that characterise this beautiful Scandinavian country, added clear is their beautiful women. The white element also encouraged the test with the best drivers in 2010 being very behind on the first day.
This allowed pilots such as Henning Solberg, Per Gunnar Andersson and Mads Ostberg give any to another surprise. Why I give you these pilots? So basically because they had an advantage. And it is that having previously filmed with the S2000 was something these pilots appreciated and greatly.
Although this is not to lead to confusion, because the official drivers have used the offseason as a true test shooting several thousand miles with new cars of engine 1. 600cc with turbo. Curiously coming worse test were names such as Kimi Raikkonen or Ken Block. To be able to vote this post you must login or register here.

However, Iceman had not tried more than a single day new DS3 WRC. Despite this Kimi proved to be much more in tune than last year and scored some time to overcome even to Sebastien Loeb in a loose leg. Finally a eighth position will give encouragement to start the season.
Meanwhile Ken Block had also disputed evidence on snow in the American national, didn't know anything tyres with pins, nor his new Ford Fiesta RS WRC. If we add to this that Block has not shown, at least for now, be a superclass towards which does not fall within the Top Ten was not a big surprise.
While no doubt most striking for my was to see Sebastien Loeb in the ninth position. It is clear that a driver such as the Alsatian always made the car to your liking, and that has led over the last eight years mounts under the same rules, such a radical change will compel an adaptation. Apparently during the second day I do not believe him to lack much in the struggle for victory.
Also highlight the test done by Mads Ostberg. After initial opinions been clearly benefited by the stand-out on Friday, Norwegian fell mouths during the next two days and ended in a wonderful second position that will allow you to enter the pools of the podium for the following tests.
In strange images that always leaves us world Rallye, cannot remember two sure that appear in the summaries of the end of the season. The first is that of Chris Patterson driving the car of your pilot, Petter Solberg, after losing this driver's license for speeding, go to 112 in a stretch limited to 80 kilometres per hour.
The other is rally need the help of the own Patterson in order to start the DS3 WRC after that it will stop at the end of the first Power Stage of the year. Specific regulations that prohibited such action, but to be in the Midway, preventing the passage of the rest of the participants were allowed to powertrain to remove it from the road.
