Rally Sweden 2014

So Rally Sweden is not far away. Craig Breen has enter his Feista WRC for the event, seen a picture of it on facebook and its a stunning livery. Really very nice.

good stuff brian.........just finished celebrating montecarlo, now we're looking forward to sweden!!!   

Heres the photo billy. Im sure we will see some changes to it as more logos get added (he has a thing on this supporters site where you can get your name/company name on the car)

nice...........

hhmmmm so if we have any spare cash after paying for forum upkeep,...................hhmmmm now theres an idea!!!      

Think we would need to up the fee quite a bit for that haha

  

good to see a young talent trying to find place in WRC category, those are the future of WRC..
but, in my opinion its not the best decision to spend your limited budget with a snow rally while you Craig is faster on Tarmac. I would prefer a tarmac event or even gravel instead of snow.
I hope he will a great experience and good result for his future and sponsors. we need more and competitive young talents for the future of WRC.

Its true that he would be known to be faster on tarmac, but hes aiming to be a full works driver where you can no longer have a weak surface. You've got to be quick everywhere.

By competing on snow, he gains experience of the conditions and is under no pressure. If hes slow hes still learning, if hes quick hes shown he can put it up against the Scandinavians on their home soil. Win win for craig. His speed on tarmac is known but he can still gain some attention by being fast on snow and thats what he needs at this stage of his career.

to get factory seat he first has to be successful with his speed and clever strategy.
if you ask my opinion instead of spending 150-200.000euro for a surface he can't be competitive he should do local snow events with cheaper budget to gain experience.

in any case he has the best motivation & support....

yep, the dakdaks

Good ol' german engineering ! Added w/ the best drivers

sure many will be happy at the 4:30 dropped by Ogier on today's first stage

What's dakdaks?

Stephen I believe its a slang term for beetles, due to the noise of the engines, and has been carried on in some places to mean all v-dubs.....   

what is the sound the old VWs make - dak dak dak dak etc

Billy, you can include the Combis in that.

hi mal, cheers m8!! wasn't far away then?      

back to rally Sweden..............can meeke be the first non-Scandinavian then?? (including Estonia in the icy countries!)....  

Doubt it.
