Klart Med Publikens Drömheat I Rally Sweden Klart med publikens drömheat i Rally Sweden Rallypubliken har sagt sitt. Här är tre drömheat när Rally Sweden startar i Karlstad: • Sébastien Loeb-Sébastien Ogier. • Mikko Hirvonen-Jari-Matti Latvala. • Mads Østberg-Pontus Tidemand. I morgon, torsdag 7 februari, inleds Rally Sweden, årets andra deltävling i VM. Öppningssträckan avgörs på Färjestadstravet i Karlstad där förarna möts man mot man inför tusentals åskådare. För en tid sedan uppmanade Rally Sweden sina fans att komma med förslag på drömheat på den första specialsträckan i tävlingen. Förslagen hänvisades till Rally Swedens facebooksida och där har trafiken varit intensiv. – Det har kommit in förslag på drömheat från världens alla hörn och utifrån dem har vi, i samarbete med tävlingsledningen och internationella bilsportförbundet, FIA, satt ihop en heatlista som verkligen ser intressant ut, säger Rally Swedens presschef Håkan Tonér. Rallypublikens absoluta drömheat är utan konkurrens det mellan de båda fransmännen Sébastien Loeb, Citroën och Sébastian Ogier, Volkswagen. De var etta och tvåa i VM-premiären Monte Carlo-rallyt och kommer med största säkerhet att vara med och kriga högt upp i resultatlistan även i Rally Sweden. Ett starkt önskemål från fansens sida är dessutom att få se finländarna Mikko Hirvonen och Jari-Matti Latvala göra upp på Superspecialen. De gamla teamkompisarna, som numera representerar Citroën respektive Volkswagen, kommer mycket riktigt också att mötas på den första sträckan. I ett annat drömheat är Norges och Sveriges hetaste förare inblandade. Självklart rör det sig om VM-stjärnan Mads Østberg och Pontus Tidemand, junioren som vann SM-premiären i Sandviken helgen som gick. Båda kör Ford Fiesta RS WRC.

    Motorsport Information FIA World Rally Championship (WRC), Rally Spain Volkswagen are World Champions* – manufacturers’ title following one-two victory in Spain Wolfsburg (27 October 2013). Part two of the World Champions’ story: Volkswagen has won the manufacturers’ title in the FIA World Rally Championship (WRC) with an outstanding one-two victory at the Rally Spain. That means all the WRC titles* for 2013 will go to the car maker from Wolfsburg. Sébastien Ogier/Julien Ingrassia (F/F) claimed the Drivers’ and Co-Drivers’ crown three weeks ago at the Rally France. The French duo went on to score an impressive win – their eighth this season – ahead of their team-mates Jari- Matti Latvala/Miikka Anttila (FIN/FIN) at the “Rally de España”. As a result, Volkswagen has an unassailable lead in the Manufacturers’ Championship with one round still to go this season. Winning three titles in its debut year with the Polo R WRC is Volkswagen’s greatest motorsport achievement to date. Title wins that will go down in history – Volkswagen’s debut Volkswagen’s achievements in the 2013 WRC season are unparalleled. The German team clinched all of the titles in the top category of the FIA World Rally Championship (WRC) in its debut year – the Drivers’ and Co-Drivers’ Championship and the manufacturers’ trophy. No other manufacturer has managed to win a World Championship in its first year since the World Rally Championship began. Even in the history of Formula 1, no car maker has yet taken the title in its opening season through their own efforts. Volkswagen’s performance has exceeded all expectations.

    Motorsport Information FIA World Rally Championship (WRC), Rally Finland The king of the forests: Sébastien Ogier wins for Volkswagen in Finland Wolfsburg (3 August 2013). Sébastien Ogier/Julien Ingrassia (F/F) claimed their fifth win of the season with Volkswagen in the FIA World Rally Championship (WRC) – and took a big step towards the World Championship title in the process. 180 km/h through the Finnish forests, jumps of up to 60 metres in length, and all between the ubiquitous trees: the WRC put on a thrilling show for hundreds of thousands of enthusiastic fans in Finland, who saw the overall lead constantly change hands on the first two days of the rally. A sixth triumph for the Polo R WRC in only its eighth rally outing saw Ogier and Ingrassia extend their lead in both the driver and co-driver standings to 90 points. Volkswagen also increased its advantage in the Manufacturers’ Championship. Jari-Matti Latvala/Miikka Anttila (FIN/FIN) finished 17th in the Polo R WRC and contributed six points to the total. Their team-mates Andreas Mikkelsen/Mikko Markkula (N/FIN) ended their home rally in tenth place, earning them one World Championship point. King at the rally of all rallies – Ogier fulfils his dream of winning in Finland The Rally Finland has been taking place since 1951, and Sébastien Ogier/Julien Ingrassia this year became only the fifth duo from outside of Scandinavia and Finland to win the rally. 2013 marked the eleventh time that a non-Nordic driver had won this iconic event in the World Rally Championship: in 1990 it was current Volkswagen Motorsport consultant Carlos Sainz (E) and his co-driver Luis Moya who broke the stranglehold of the Finn’s and Swedes for the first time.

    PRESSINFORMATION Marcus Thomasfolk Kontaktperson Informationschef 08 553 867 97 Telefon 070 35 896 57 Mobil [email protected] E-post 2013-03-07 Datum Ska Volkswagen upprepa Sverige-succén i Mexico? Efter årets första WRC-seger i Rally Sweden är det dags för Volkswagen att ta sig an det mexikanska VM-rallyt som startar idag. Med sträckor som går på 2700 meters höjd blir Rally Mexico säsongens högst belägna rally och en riktig utmaning för både förare och teknik. - Årets första tre rallyn är alltid lite speciella. Efter legendariska Monte och kalla Sverige ska vi nu hantera temperaturer på över 2000 meters höjd, säger Jost Capito, chef för Volkswagen Motorsport. - Rally Mexico är också årets första rally som går på grus. Det blir intressant att se hur konkurrenskraftig vår Polo R WRC är under de förhållandena. Förarna kommer att köra 394,9 kilometer fördelade på 23 specialsträckor. Den mest spektakulära inledningssträckan för säsongen väntar i kväll i Guanajuato. Platsen är en före detta silvergruva som är uppsatt på UNESCO:s världsarvslista. Volkswagen har fått en flygande start efter de två inledande WRC-tävlingarna. Sébastien Ogier, Frankrike, blev tvåa i Monte Carlo och segrade sedan i Rally Sweden. Det gör honom till total WRC-ledare, före landsmannen Sébastien Loeb, Citroën. - Jag var mycket nöjd med att vinna i Sverige. Vår teaminsats var fantastisk. Men det är gamla nyheter vid det här laget och nu är det dags för den första tävlingen på grus, här i Mexiko. För mig personligen är det lite speciellt att tävla just här. Det var här jag körde min första WRC-tävling, 2008, och jag vann mitt första race i Junior WRC-klassen.

Although performance is always the combination of three factors (driver, car and tyres), tyres play an especially predominant role on the Monte. Unpredictable conditions The conditions encountered in the course of the Rallye Monte-Carlo are varied at best, but they are also frequently unpredictable, with surfaces ranging from dry and wet asphalt, to dirt, snow or ice in differing proportions, resulting in constantly changing levels of grip on a single stage.
