Think organisers struggle with comms, to get the times from stage end to hq.
So delays in results so far.

Veiby into a ditch on ss2, a lot of snow showeling to get out. And of course no fans in the forrest, due to Corona.

Two good fights at the end;

1st place fight: Marius Aasen that has been struggeling to get his new Rally2 Fabia to work till the end of a rally, suddenly he got the package to work, and gained more milage and the speed got better. On last stage he passed Frank Tore Larsen in a Polo, amd took the win. Mr Aasen And wife Marlene Engan makes a comeback after 3 years away from rally. So they still got it.

3rd place fight also decided on last stage when Henning Solberg, that was first on the road, and with weather turning from -10 C to just above zero degrees overnight, madte it slushy. Not easy for the first cars.
Henning did a sprint in his rented Fiesta on last stage and passed Anders Grøndal in a Rally2 Fiesta.

Anders has been struggeling to get the Rally2 Fiesta to work well on gravel and snow, and had new parts from M-Sport flown in and fitted. New engine, box and diffs. But With little to no testimg of the new parts, he is way off target, and car not responding when he is pushing, so he is just driving at 80%, to get maximum points. I hope they can get testimg new parts and that they get the Rally2 fiesta to work, if not I guess he will try to swap to a different brand. Not that easy when your dayjob is owning a Ford dealership.

Lets hope Corona restrictions still will allow for more rallies in weeks and months to come!
 
Sadly the round at Sigdal is cancelled due to warm weather, after been postponed due to covid.
So, the Norwegian championship after the winterseason is after just 1 rally.
Hopefully we got some more rallies in summertime than the 3 rallies planned.

2022, Rally2 class in Norway has grown to 13 cars and HenningS said he might have a car for the next one.
Rally4 has 8-9 cars, and only old R2 cars, so it is an even field, with Røkland a small head above the youngsters.
The rest ov the 90+ cars are older national classes, many of them old rwd Cars. Some of them cost a fortune and are very quick, also on snow!

In the first rally in the 22 championship, Brynildsen won the first one with 0,2 sec over Veiby, Marius Aasen came 3rd. Close call, where Brynildsen overtook for the win on the powerstage.


Yesterday in rd 2 it was still a close call among the top 4, with Grøndal a bit back in 5th.
On the powerstage the leading Veiby first changed a puncture, then after that he caught a rock ima right hander, broke the suspension, and stuck in the middle of the road to block. Then Larsen in another Polo took the win with 4 sec over Brynildsen, with Aasen again taking 3rd
