After Sweden

I went straight to Spain and testing for Mexico after the Swedish rally. And I feel it was a good test, I think we have found a good set up for the Mexican gravel roads. Driving in Sweden is always fun. The stages are packed with Norwegian flags and supporters. And a pretty good result at the end also, especially if you are a Norwegian. I was so disappointed on Hennings behalf when he crashed on Saturday. Later that evening he promised he would win every stage on Sunday – and he did! Well done, Henning! I’m also very impressed with Andreas Mikkelsen being 5th, and the youngest driver to score points in the WRC. I think we will see a lot more of both him and Mads Østberg in the future.

I’m back in Sweden now, for a few days winter-holiday together with Oliver, Pernilla and her family. It should be fun; skiing, snow-mobile and just playing around with my favourite pirate – Oliver!

    I am praying that by Rally Norway next year we will see a Norwegian one two three!

    Petter 1st
    Mikkelsen 2nd
    Henning 3rd

    Even as an Englishman, this would be perfect as these are my 3 favourite drivers in order!
    All the best for Rally Mexico – with a bit of luck it could be yor best result of the year so far!
