The Rally Sweden organisers have updated the entry list on their website, and now it’s starting to look like something. Henning Solberg seems to get his pieces together and is entered in a Ford Focus WRC08, Jocke Nyman completes a three man (PG Andersson, Patrik Flodin and Jocke Nyman) strong Swedish lineup that will hopefully conquer the group N class of the rally and Al-Qassimi, Kuipers x2, van Merksteijn x2, Grönholm and Therman, Jouni Arolainen, Mads Östberg, Kimi Räikkönen, Matthew Wilson among others making the WRC class a real nest will hopefully assure that the rally comes down to history as one of the best snow rallies in a long time.
Also S2000 will be interesting to follow, where home ace Patrik Sandell will be hunted by skilled drivers as Mikkelsen, Brynhildsen, Prokop and Tuohino. Also Solowow, Sousa and Hunt and heavily experienced home ace Per-Arne Sääv, running on the organizers wild card, are entered in S2000 cars.
My current most interesting list (to be updated, for sure!):
- Loeb vs. Hirvonen + Latvala
- Petter vs. Henning
- How fast can Grönholm and Räikkönen be?
- What happens to the Swede superfight in group N: Andersson + Flodin + Nyman?
- The Super2000 superfight: Sandell vs. Mikkelsen + Brynhildsen + Prokop + Tuohino
Every single one of the points above will probably be world class entertainment – and of course I’ll get back with more comments, interviews etc. related to the entries. This is just the start…!

Mikkelsen entered in the A7-class with a Fiesta. Have you any other info since you are claiming him to start in the S-2000 class?
All Fiestas that I expected to be Super2000 seems to be entered in A7, so I’ve assumed that they are S2000 Fiestas and nothing else. Also, it makes some sense – since A7 is cars with max 2000cc, and that’s also Super2000 (I’m afraid I’m not a classes/homologation junkie). Why the class differs between the Fiestas and the other Super2000 cars I don’t know – I wondered that too. So, in fact I may be totally wrong about the Fiestas… (don’t hope so!)
Now the entry list is updated and the S2000 Fiestas are changed to the N4 class. So, luckily enough, my assumptions were right
