Patrik Sandell and his co-driver Staffan Parmander tested before the Rally Acores this monday. At least the test roads seem really nice and fast. Question is how Patrik will perform after a doubtful start of the season where he has been followed by various problems, not least punctures. The team have now switched tyre brand to Pirelli, which they hope will solve the problem and enable Patrik to go for the win. Personally, I’m not convinced it will be enough to reach all the way to a victory, but maybe he can at least get a step closer…

Here are two fresh videos from PG Andersson’s test yesterday with the Skoda Fabia Super2000 in Norway. This Monday was PG’s only test day with the Skoda and the team, Czech based JM Racing, before Rally Sweden. The team has brought six men to Sweden, including three mechanics, one team manager, one engineer and one coordinator. PG himself brings in his regular mechanics “Pitan” and “Henke”.
Thanks to Hedlund80 for the videos.

Patrik Sandell with co-driver Emil Axelsson have spent the day testing on snow in Norway with their car for the 2010 season, the Red Bull Skoda Fabia Super2000.
Sandell himself said at the test:
- We’re doing just fine. It was good to do a rally in Norway last weekend, so we didn’t have to start at zero now. We are doing some small adjustments to the dampers to find the right setup for Rally Sweden, but the feeling is really good. Since it has snowed so much this winter the roads will be narrower than in 2008, which will make the speed go down. However, it will still be a fast rally so we chose a fast test road to see have the Skoda behaves in full speed bends.
Patrik, who will drive in the new S-WRC / WRC Cup class, continues:
- The competition in the rally will be the best we have ever met. PG is driving exactly the same car on a wild card and will be incredibly fast, so he will probably be our biggest challenge. But even Prokop and Tuohino will be there fighting for the points, he concludes.

Petter Solberg, who has previously done both tests and a few test rallys (Svully Rally Dahbi in Norway and Finnskogsvalsen in Sweden) during the recent weeks, tested his Citroën C4WRC in Sweden once again yesterday. In a short post on his blog Petter said that driving the car was good fun and that it’s really fast. Today Petter is probably checking in for the rally and tomorrow starts the recce that will take place during Tuesday and Wednesday.

World rally champion Sebastien Loeb warmed up for Rally Sweden yesterday by testing in northern Värmland. Loeb did a full day test arranged by Citroen and former Citroën driver Thomas Rådström. At the afternoon, even Kimi Räikkönen showed up and did two rounds with Sebastien in the co-driver seat of the car. However, Kimi was there as a private person and didn’t do any tests himself.

This weekend, Kimi Räikkönen and co-driver Kaj Lindström has made their first test in the Citroën C4WRC on snow, up in northern Finland where they will drive the Arctic Rally next week. Looking at this short video Kimi obviously went flat out immediately on the test road, trying if the suspension of the C4 was up to the challenge of some Finnish jumps… And it was! Short but fantastic clip!
Thanks to ludtati for the video.
