Rally Sweden

Arnaud Rémy, WRC Programme Manager Michelin Motorsport 
“Rally Sweden is a one-off event in the world championship because it’s the only round to take place entirely in wintry conditions and on studded tyres. Much of Friday’s action is based in Norway where the conditions are often very snowy, while the stages on Days 2 and 3 are in Sweden. Despite the snow and ice, the cars reach really impressive speeds thanks to the confidence and outstanding grip that is provided by the almost 400 studs on each Michelin tyre. We are keen to see how our new WRC2 tyre – the NA01 – performs and I’m sure there will be plenty of spectators out to see if anybody manages to beat the existing record leap of 45 metres over Colin’s Crest on ‘Vargåsen’!”
