end to a brilliant year to pick up the 2023 superar Crown in rally x a brilliant Drive unbelievable welcome back to hugad and B for round six and rally 8 2024 and we’ve just found the best seat in the house up here is the computer which controls all the uh the flags and everything V goes just underneath him with the Drone takeoff point I’m Andrew Coy this is H rig and uh super cars going on behind us open for drive so I’m kind of distracted Kevin Eric OE Eric I think it is it’s OE it’s Ollie yeah mate what you particularly of this corner here which saw so much drama yesterday yeah historically this corner has been in a place of drama 1998 if you look on YouTube you’ll find a hilarious inter between Kenne hon and Michael yber I think that video’s got like 50,000 views or something but basically it’s a classic Swedish Championship battle where you jump punches in amer and we saw simar battles all day yesterday as well didn’t we the uh first Corner we can call this it’s the first proper corner there’s a king well come come and have a look you might be able to see there’s a kink left just here that’s kind of the first corner but as house said it’s not really corner is it this is the one and this is where all the drama was yesterday we saw lunges super big sends and like you say some big accidents as well look at that track as well how again I don’t know how much we can see on this lens but it’s it’s really clean on the inside it’s really loose on the outside they’ve done a brilliant job of grooming the track here and another thing I love about this place got a big crowd up on the banks again but and the cars come back the return road is right back in front of the fans they give them a round of applause every time they come in it’s a cracking little rally cross track it’s brilliant and we just wait for another walk around uh during practice and start q1 this morning and we’d walked on Friday night after practice but until you see cars use it more and more over the course of the week and you really don’t get an appreciation for how much elevation changes the balance of the car and unfortunately that’s one of the downsides of of Television because you never see that do you you never see the undulations and this is a a proper track that’s built into the the natural layout of the land and it produces some amazing racing I feel like yesterday we had um from Nova tires we had Matthew Vincent came in and he was all smiles see how much he loved rally cross and there are moments where you’re like I really love this we are very lucky like just you know Martin sand just coming underneath us with a headlight cover missing we saw Ry Ericson battling his way back up they’re continuing with the the fc2 interesting we found out last night didn’t where they ran Kevin’s car at Nitro power and Oliver’s car at full power cuz they are different maps and about 100 break horsepower less Kevin and we didn’t know that head of the final which gives good reason for the his slight like a pace compared to Oliver another start coming up here we go Kevin’s in this one see if you can see any of it oh no Kevin’s rolled so Kevin’s rolled in turn one he tried to go around the outside and he right basically he he chucked it in he was very brave as you would expect from Kevin he tried to Chas red flag tried to Chuck it in and go around that’s stuck uh it’s Martinson isn’t it I think it is mar yeah so Martinson I Kevin will be fine went into the rail it’s upside down that is Absol absolutely as live as it gets oh look martinson’s livid but to be honest with you mate you’re not upside down in the gravel so need to chill there quad bikes are coming out pick things up here comes vgo with the Drone H mate warning we’ll have the return shot that just such a legend isn’t he huge back flip off he’s literally Landing just underneath us obviously we’re hoping Kevin’s okay they’ be trying to get him out of the car which side is he sitting uh car’s upside down he’s on he’s on this side as as we are but uh so he’s out the car okay that’s it that’s the most important thing so Kevin is out of the car oh well well look they’re putting the car through his Paces H this weekend that’s for sure that was that was five wide into turn one it was a proper classic super car start wasn’t it he has not pleased Kevin Erikson by Corner straight over hasn’t he to martinov and uh for a chat he pointed martinon isn’t it yeah sorry Martinson yeah Martinson and Martin are very confused we were just saying how much drama there’s been in this Cor so far this weekend and I’m like gen we filmed this we filmed this about an hour before we go live you know let’s let’s go up there we’ll do that wasn’t expecting that were you no not at all and uh as we see Matt lman come back underneath us Matt was one of the the sorry Tales of yesterday wasn’t he he was so close to getting it all together to uh having that dream home Victory and we were we had a drink with his daughter last night in uh said he was so enthusiastic and he was so pumped for the f I just so disappointed for him but hope make today I think he could have won yesterday in Pro and yeah unfortunately he came over the crest and because of the way he drives the car with his lever he he couldn’t recover the car so well look that’s a pretty Carnage start to the day isn’t it we’re going to take a look back in a moment at the action from crosscar and crosscar Junior and uh and so on from the early round to qualifying uh we better go down I suppose and try and help Kevin clear up the mess in the meantime you can take a look at the rest of this fantastic track not just turn two what a start to the day that was um there it is there it is that’s the corner where it all went wrong Hal yeah just after we were talking about the uh the 98 Swedish Championship incident and then there was uh similar displeasure wasn’t there in the first corner there an unnecessary crash I think but um that’s the Rough and Tumble of the first Corning rally cross especially with a variety of experience levels this circuit has produced plenty of action so far this weekend hasn’t it and now we ride on board with ol ER for a lap on Friday evening yeah this was in the FC 2 now unfortunately one of the cars has been withdrawn you can guess which one it is it’s Kevin Erikson’s now he actually just being really honest there’s nothing wrong with a car other than the fact he’s been beaten up but the team have said look it’s a small team here this weekend we got a lot of testing to do so they’re going to Reep Kevin’s car and go do some meaningful testing after the event and they’re going to continue to run Oliver’s card during the event I just chatting to the boys there and they said if we were fighting for the for the event we were ready to go basically but they don’t they you know they don’t want to to rush it and then cause more problems which is which is fair enough and to compromise all the other cars they’re running in the T but one of the reasons they’re here is to test for cooling with the engine package and stuff when the bodyw works compromis having been over then you’re not going to get the same data so you’re better off fixing it properly and then going and achieving that data as you want it’s a shame isn’t it cuz Kevin actually that move as well if he pulled it off and it looked like he might if it weren’t for Martinson getting fired and martinon yeah okay there’s a load of Conta I’m sure we’ll look at it in detail in a bit but it’s uh if if he hadn’t taken Kevin out I think he might have done the classic Kevin round the outside yeah there is deep gravel on the outside we’ve seen a lot of people just dip the rear wheel in then the nose get sucked in but uh if anyone pull off it be Kevin Eric yeah it would have been cool wouldn’t it so there we go so Kevin might come and join us in the studio at some point later on today we got all our usual Shenanigans coming up we have got what we got open two wheel drive superc car lights and open four-wheel drive for you from Q2 and then everybody in Q3 and uh semi-finals and finals for round six then it’s five weeks time we go to Denmark uh is it five weeks yeah I think it is n and barnon and directly the week after we go to the esing in uh where Hamburg bu buer h buxer Huda that’s a very that was a very Swedish buxer Huda there house I but we’re in Sweden so just in that’s true okay how would you say in German I’m not very good at German back to Huda there’s that brilliant video of all the different accents isn’t there sorry if you’re terribly offended by that um but that’s fine CU we pronounce things wrong a lot of the time very much looking forward to them to give a bit of insight as to what’s going on here sorry we so there’s there’s a small technical problem that’s why we’ve come on air a little bit late so the the main part of the TV team is in Stockholm and they’ve got a small technical issue and May amazingly for this tiny TV operation in RX got distracted by dog might have done so rain snit is race director and he can look at all of the different replays at his whim in a with a replay machine basically with with with an EVS machine it’s called in the in the industry so they’ve managed to link our TV feed to R’s director replay machine what we’re doing now is we’re waiting for reers to finish his track inspection ahead of the remaining racing before Q the end of Q too so he can go back he can operate the EVS machine we’re actually going to see Reus in race control doing his job yeah and we’re going to run the TV broadcast from there while they fix the issues in Stockholm and that’s a that’s a great indication as to how TV works but also how small this team is and how reactive they are they don’t we’re lucky to be on air put it that way about how how adaptive they are to the situation this is broken right go there do this fix that okay we just need to you can imagine there someone with of cables like plugging things in going probably probably rainish he’s out there rainers plugged this in so yeah rain has got his own exactly the same replay machine with a wheel on it which which the TV guys use normally in the truck or in our case remotely and he’s got one up there so he can actually look at whatever he wants to after a Race So we’re often going can we have that replay please in Stockholm meanwhile rers has already looked at it cuz he’s got his own replay machine just for race control and we were up there earlier on when lots of people were shouting I think we can talk to him now yeah Rish can we talk to you can you hear us there he is there’s rainers up in the top Corner rain say something let me see if we can hear you yeah can you hear me I hear you yes we yes we can this is brilliant this is my favorite right Mr Black Flag how many black flags yesterday many many nine or 11 I I don’t I didn’t even count after uh super car light semi so uh it it was crazy it it really was like something similar to folk race I mean those cars are so expensive and and these drivers went went completely out of control but uh but I hope that those uh hard noties will will will take them back to the frame I’m sure they will this year we’re looking at footage of vgo flying the Drone up to see us on the balcony and and Reus is in the room just below that so yeah Reus this is you Wheeling through the various stuff is this the is this the Erikson start you’ve got lined up for us yes if you see my screen so uh we I have many cameras here and uh from different angles like one uh this one is from the front then I can switch it to the to the Drone as well so uh yeah we can talk talk us through this one so so basically just just to explain to you at home what R Ry has a wheel in front of him it’s hard to explain it’s kind of like rewinding on when the DJ goes rewind and goes backwards on the disc it’s like a PMW where you’ve got the knob in the in the middle yeah so so imagine that so he can wheel back through the footage as fast as he wants by moving his finger more quickly and as he said he can choose the different cameras then he can play at different speeds now that’s how our replays work we normally Build You Up a file and you guys see a package that’s played out from the EVS machine reain is goes back and looks at footage and this is what he’s looking at so this was Martinson um nerfing off Kevin Erikson in turn one and Kevin go will go all the way across the gravel trap and roll here re let’s go back on this a few times and just just tell us your process on how you analyze this situation and and how you try and attribute blame or or or see who was in the wrong now for me it’s easy I can I can do slowmo in 25% 5075 and I can choose all the cameras and uh and and now we we we we go through on 25% slowmo so for for me it was uh what was was clear clear race incident I I uh it was it was hot up up here after that happened uh we we were arguing a lot but uh but if you see uh okay we can we can go actually to drone and we can see in drone that uh the blue car took far the best start and and it’s ahead of of everyone and um maybe on a video it’s hard to see but here it’s like tiny left corner where uh where cars should go left and and then it’s flat out right so I for me the blue one is is correct thing what what he does he went left and starting from here I think he was on a passenger seat as Kevin is on the left in a in a green car then we have yellow black and and blue and uh and blue car is like it started to to turn already wrong direction not not uh aiming the the corner and and uh for me here when you see when you follow the Y yellow car I think that’s uh that’s the hit on the on the right uh soon back of om man’s car made uh here bum to the right a little bit he pushed om man a little bit om man pushed the the blue car and blue car was was a passenger on that situation so it it happens when when you have small turns like this and uh and I I mean yeah there there was different opinions that the blue car was was turning left way too too early or or or too aggressive but but I mean if you are in front and then you want to keep your position you you go left and um it’s just unlucky Kevin hit there and and also Now Kevin is passenger and and outside we have really really soft sand where the wheels just got stucked and and he old so from your point of view what you’re saying is yeah unlucky everyone but racing incident so on this occasion you’ve not said somebody is particularly in the wrong it’s kind of a bun fight and these things happen yeah it’s yeah correct uh so I mean all of them are are fast drivers and and all of them took really good start so and yeah just unlucky that one push other and and and and then that’s how the chain chain goes so this time Kevin was was in in wrong place wrong time but uh nothing to to do more from from my side three five second penalties or even Black Flag couldn’t uh give uh Kevin opportunity to continue this race and I I think the the most corrected uh uh penalty could be reprimand but but we don’t have reprimands here in in r x so uh not much to do what a fascinating Insight reers thank you for for going through that and it it’s interesting as well because you treat every incident in isolation don’t you because there’s no reprimand system you you uh had a bit of a moan at me last night cuz I said oh what happened with with so and so and you you said you like every team manager you’re asking what happened with this name only know car numbers and colors because you’re not interested in who it is or what they’ve done before you’re looking at car one versus Car 2 in in in this situation and you look at it all in isolation it’s impartiality you know it means you’re not looking at it and going this guy is the bloke I used to race against you’re just going the green car the blue car and it’s great mate the way you’re doing it I mean I’ve been uh out of the sport I think two or three three years you know I’m not every day involved anymore and and there are many young drivers so I I really when somebody comes up and tells non and Sur name and you know especially all these Swedish names are similar or exactly the same and I cannot even find them in in in a list so it’s easiest way car number and uh because I give penalties by car numbers not by names and uh that’s why I I I can remember it easier and and then uh then then also colors is is making my life easier Mr Black Flag so can you show us another incident I don’t know how long we’ve got we we need we’re going to move on we’re going to move on so where are we going how are we going racing why are we coming back here we start we see that was fine okay go R is in charge when we start racing show us another instant that you did give a penalty for what was one more Black Flag for super car lights I think in in when was it in q1 okay I Tred to find the fast you can talk a little bit I I have to go a little bit back talk at that so he’s literally whizzing back through the timeline and these EVS machines show you effectively time of day so also re is able to you’re to put time stamps I guess on the incident so when you see them you can press the button and it allows you to go back to that very quickly yes but I haven’t used it yet this first for me to F jock back and uh and uh and then uh then I find it mate do you want a job in TV because I think you could be in demand you’re actually really good at this Lu with no thank you but actually in TV it could be much better because here I’m not making new friends maybe on TV I could make some look at look at this the black car got a black flag and it says especially because he did exactly the same thing yesterday and he got Black Flag yesterday and he he just do it again today he comes out from the Joker he’s not leaving the space for the for the blue car and they just po both both crash and that’s way too much especially it’s q1 you know you can do it in semi-finals or finals when you really fight for Podium or for the points but uh but here is just useless uh sorry for word uh stupid for for me and that’s that’s why it it needs to be penalized to M totally understand and look it’s great to get an idea we we always say it’s the toughest job in the padic is is being raised director and give out those penalties and you’re doing a great job this is fantastic having someone with r I know we’ve been championing reers quite a lot this year but having someone who’s won at World Championship level what is is a multiple European champion and has been in all of these scenarios okay maybe not on this track but renish you’re using all of your your existing experience all the time and you know how it is from the D SE you’ve driven all of these classes of cars before so you you know what the car’s doing underneath the driver that’s really important isn’t it yeah I mean it’s uh it’s not possible to write all the penalties or all the situations on on paper so there is some uh some feeling and uh some uh knowing who hit when and and what happens and and there are different types of of hitting other car so yeah I think uh I’ve been in in those situations myself and uh it’s it’s easier to understand straight who is uh who need some penalty or who was right or who was wrong but you never got any penalties yourself did you no always clean and nice racing you’re a legend mate we’ll leave you to it I’m sure you’ll enjoy having many visitors up to race control today to argue their case but um good job dude and thank you for a great explainer for everybody at home have a good day mate thank you ciao ciao there we go rainy snsh up in race control with just some brilliant Insight how it’s not an easy job that is a bit of an exclusive isn’t it to be fair to get that Insight with someone making important decisions that have an actual outcome on the event and the championship some you don’t get that in in other Motorsports in other series being able to talk directly to the race director about an incident that’s just happened and as he said when you were dealing with some of those those problems he said it got pretty hot up there after the Kevin ericon role we were both in there as well there’s lots of people with lots of opinions and you know he has he’s so clearheaded and calm to to to manage that situation and lots of championships have uh somebody who’s called a competitor liaison officer so basically you can’t go to the race director you go to the clo and say I want to see the race director about this and they’ll go no the decision’s final or yes you can make an appeal and you maybe have to put money in to make an appeal there’s all sorts of rules so R is quite in the firing line you so everybody was polite I will stress that there big personalities quite forceful you know got going this no I just no rewrite this this no I don’t agree so he’s he’s doing a good job it’s really really tough gig and uh yeah well done right what we doing H should we go racing all right M open two whe Drive yeah Little Wave yeah are we ready we are good right let’s go race him let’s crack on so lenus Westman one q1 this is their Q2 remember Junior crosscar and crosscar have done their q1 and two already we would normally look at some of that but as we say our replay machine is busted right now so uh we’re not going to do that we’re just going to go racing for Q2 Q3 will feature all the classes as normal don’t worry your experience at home is going to be pretty similar just uh missing some of the replays until we get that machine fixed and they are working on it so Westman tiger Johansson gabrielson and Omen and apparently Adrien has just fixed the replay machine well on Adrian you Legend listen to that popping and banging from open two whe drive out a moment gets up the inside of Victor Hanson to take a position West runs a bit wide Simon tiger into the lead front of Tiger’s car looking all shot blasted than that is because we have proper gravel here it’s been wetted hell to uh to keep the the dust down and the conditions will change a lot they will indeed and uh this is one of the only times of the weekend where the open two drives will have the worst of the conditions because we start mid session don’t we after the cross the cross guard Juniors us it’s the poor old Junior drivers that that have all of the uh the wetted track and notice how we waited for rainers then because he was going around the track talking to the water Bowser drivers and he’s so involved in the running of these events but decides to water part of the line offline online you know they they change where they’re walking they’re not drenching the whole track all the time they’re really considered with how they manage the uh the conditions both for safety and for performance yeah absolutely so you see turn one’s nice and damp the whole way across it’s very wet on the outside because that’s where all the loose gravel is if you run out there dropped it westman’s gone round that’s what we’re talking about so if you get out in the boonies on the outside the dust that comes up is unbelievable then the people behind can’t see so yeah not an easy job I’m not convinced rainy she get will want to come back next J how cuz it’s it’s definitely not an easy job but he uh he’s doing all right so Westman that’s disappointing the winner of q1 goes [Music] around not the greatest start today you are looking at gabrielson from the Drone with Johansson just behind we’ve got a a b sized mosquito in the commentary box at the minute there a couple of them I just slapped one off your face which was quite pleasurable yeah cheers they were Grim last night they really were we have been bat a lot yanson on the back of gabrielson look at the pace of the Big M coming out of that final Corner pitches it in in the first corner it’s so wet there look out sideways gabrielson and then Johansson got that’s exactly why Westman dropped it on the previous lap just he lose all that traction the rear wheel spin up in a rear wheel drive car and then yeah so difficult to get it back you said yes how maximum commitment with not all the information oh c up the inside of tiger in the Joker not a great Joker from Tiger there Omen into the lead yeah and that’s exactly I love that I it’s a part that’s why rally drivers are so good as well in rally Cross isn’t it because they can read the road and in in a circuit race you’re used to the conditions being very consistent in a rally and rally cross you’ve got to read the track changes all the time what’s in front of you which is why quite a lot of them now going to do some rallies in their spare time out moment takes it the time is 2 38.2 uh q1 was a 232.000 now remember q1 they would have run after Junior and crosscar so as how was explaining earlier the track would have been a lot drier so that one will be a bit of an anomaly this was the start Omen look got a good start on the outside cut across gab I tell you what he’s quite aggressive there into Victor Hanson all the locals in this one isn’t it yeah we had we just had a bit of a fun session with h Victor Johansen Simon tiger and Rasmus Bergin which hopefully you guys will be able to see later on i’ say the issues look like they’re fixed so we we’ve done a little challenge with them and my first glance across at the YouTube comments I see someone’s written adri in the MVP most valuable person today that’s absolutely case hat hat tip to Adrien Adrian doesn’t have to buy the beers tonight westman’s lucky didn’t go over there if had a dug in a little bit more it would have been a very soft roll but it could easily have tipped up we saw people off around most actually most of the track yesterday hell didn’t we saw people going uh grass cutting up in turn three on the inside Allison ended up there Omen was off just before turn three after the dip Crest we’ve had two rolls in turn one done his fair sh grass cutting as well ran that the ball the light machine you the light post what call it yeah the light light indicators on there flag indicator flag indicator over I’ve got a video of that actually I haven’t posted that we were up with a guy in flag control earlier on today so I’ll stick that on later on you can see the little computer that they use uh to to run the the light system around the track so rajas Bergman on the inside Eric lman oan stenvall and Kenneth [Music] Kong I like aian Sten Val’s escort Mark 3 how I was looking at it earlier on I just think it looks dialed yeah it looks good doesn’t it I it’s a nice size well it’s more akin to the size of car that was this sort of track was created for yeah yeah corre yeah true very true what was the rear whe drive car was it the G3 that Ford made which was the yes got3 yeah yeah yeah which was the rear wheel drive Mark 3 we had a few issues with jump starts yesterday so don’t don’t take these two uh not seriously if somebody jumps the start they’ll have to do two jokers but we have had a a few false triggers it’s actually a lovely day again it’s uh it’s slightly cloudier than yesterday I wouldn’t say it’s as hot as yesterday right now but if the uh if the cloud disappears it gets warm pretty quickly another jump start indicator couple of YouTube comments someone says uh we need more Nittis yep we do everybody more R is is a good chap isn’t he he’s ledge should ask Nittis if he would ride along side in the fc2 estring with KY in the passenger I’m sure well yeah I’m sure he would drive Andrew I’m not sure he would sit next to Andrew because R is time with doing uh nous rides in the um in the super car lights that was definitely uh not his favorite part of his he call me an office I don’t know I do you want mate I don’t know if I want to try the fc2 for the first time at the esing O Circuit of zero runoff for 90% of the track um there was that massive shun there last year wasn’t there at the only place where there is any run off and that isn’t very deep at the end of a very long very far straight downhill so bergren and lman getting into each other on the run to turn one round the outside comes stenvall in the Mark 3 escort he gets on the wet stop and look at the angle of the lock oh dear that’s uh suboptimal that’s lman who’s lost out big time up at turn two STV had a good old dab of opo there didn’t you try to hang on to the uh the escort I’m getting RS turbo Vibes off the Bonnet vents you know then it’s xr3i Vibes off the rear wing is it I like it yeah I was never really massive Ford fan but I’ve got no choice now I’ve got my oh ken come up on two wheels again that happened yesterday in the final Corner the um remarkably large BMW seems very willing to uh to pitch up on the two wheels look at he’s really worked on the suspension setup of that car I think that’s an ex tiger BMW as well isn’t it and uh looks like it’s really working well now look at the door on that H that Buren’s had some contact this weekend went had look at his tent early didn’t we when we were filming gets collected by Kong Kong’s hangs on to it Bam’s got a lot of damage there a shocker brilliant flowing by voo CCH as always just how is down dam in the door there from the contact St goes Joker right well this is looking a lot like yesterday H yeah I don’t think um anyone is Holy to blame there though it wasn’t bad driving just conditions and being caught out it’s slippery and you’re still you know they’re still trying to push for a good time in theory the track should be dry and cool yeah look at the door the half of it completely yeah but he hit with the other side didn’t he he went down the right hand side of the track just look how nice 10 B’s car looks yeah I liked it in that big drift in turn two as well look at it look at it it’s almost getting slipperier maybe there is that horrible Point as a circuit drives where it goes from wet through icy slippery and then to talk tacky afterwards we could be at that point it’s dry over the uh the Joker section of course the drivers don’t know that necessarily had a chat of someone who’s been out in the first race which of course there wasn’t time for no but their spotters might be watching the stream and being able to see what the tracks like and then feeding that back to their driver side on the GD it’s interesting the amount of people in the P who do watch it just just for that I’m sure they have the volume off if they got any sense but they’re always looking for little things OE Ericson yesterday was in the comments by the way if you guys are wondering whether or not they look the drivers do he was in the comments yesterday on YouTube reading stuff so say hello to ol Erik in there saying they giv me some abuse in there weren’t you basically yeah yeah they do they do read them there we go then Kenneth Kong takes it oh dear look at that oh wow that is a lot of damage oh what a shame really unlucky Hal yeah just got won be see anything left hand drive car remember Bonn it fully up on that left side look the front right balance is in front L with the hole of the front it’s all composite though isn’t it the body work you pull you pull the Ste work out from behind Kevin Erikson’s just walked by with the top clamshell off his fc2 with his race number on that would have been a good picture not very happy understandably so he’s more frustrated at the um lost development time because that’s what they’re here to do both for the next class and for running the FC 2s in in super car championships throughout Europe This is the incident just drops it on the uh the loose there and there’s no way con could avoid him because he is also on the slippery bit meaning you just can’t make those adjustments quickly enough you’ve got to stay in the throttle haven’t you to keep it going forward yeah but look at the damage on his car cuz he would have avoided that if he could have and I can tell you that right now Adam Omen actually did a sorry a 2382 and Kenneth Kong and this one did a 2390 that cont yeah exactly so Kenneth Kong goes P2 in the session but it is Adam Omen who wins it Eric lman is a dnf and it was uh lenus Westman who won the first one where was he in this one Westman was oh way way down in p7 so that turn qualifying on its head okay onto Supercar lights we’ve got a leading contender in every race here so this will be interesting to see how the track evolves it was a shame wasn’t it yesterday we lost Lucas Anderson and Casper Jansen right at the start of the final when we were hoping for a good scrap and the scrap only lasted until turn two little bit of contact cost them both so Jansen mun sodol and darak it’s Tobias St back in this one see the front of jansen’s car jugging as he’s trying to find the grip but he does find the grip mun might be just inside but jansen’s get a pitch inside R mun gets a bit of under steer mid Corner Jansen crosses the gravel trap dback might have enough momentum here but Jansen gets back to the Apex and just gently the door on him nicely done by everybody y caught out a little bit by the lack of grip in the first corner and that’s why Dak had the run but good respect between them dback probably just rolled out the throttle a little bit not the force issue up the hill knowing a driver of dak’s experience even if it’s not in the lights class will know that you need to live to fight for another day don’t you there’s no point getting fired off in the first couple of corners of Q2 on a Sunday afternoon not when there’s a a whole day still whole of today still to go isn’t there and a win up for grab Dbacks impressed me I think what you know we weren’t expecting him to not be good when he’s so good in a cross car well he’s got super car experience as well hasn’t he so I think uh obviously well on top of the car but the thing with the light cars is they’re so specific to drive you’ve really got to maintain the momentum all the time the weight in the rear is quite different to a normal car but the cross car experience will help because they’re rear engined as well and the balance is not so dissimilar Jansen gets very rotated in the head I thought he’s going Joker then the attitude to the car but actually didn’t go dab back’s gone this might be to protect against mun mun there was 2.9 backs a fairly easy one for D about yes they have what do we reckon the Delta was it was between sort of 2 and 2.4 wasn’t it depending on track conditions and what category yeah roughly yeah I think that’s that’s about Fair The Joker The Joker Delta time or the national Joker time was actually 1.8 but I find that quite bizarre but they’re often not necessarily real in like I explained yesterday so the Joker the notional Joker time is if you finish a race and you can only do it in a semi-final or final if you finish a race and someone hasn’t Joker you give them a notional Joker time to add to their time to see where they would end up yeah but but when we that’s if we get red flag just to explain at home so if the race gets stopped and say the leader hasn’t Joker at that point so the way they work out that notional time is they take four times from random cars throughout the the order for the category so one driver might be doing it in 1 second and another driver might be doing it in 6 seconds so they have to take both that into account because it might be either of those drivers that needs that notional time and they take an average across the four I’m struggling to see who’s doing at 1.7 I don’t I didn’t see anybody doing Jokers that were 1.7 off yesterday so but there you go that’s the notional it’s it’s from the computer says yes and it’s clearer than me and it’s the only way of Fairly working it out Janson takes it the time is a 229.3 3 seconds off what he did earlier to be fastest in q1 very good Hal I was about to look it up he’s on it he’s on it off the start there’s that Jing as the the front of the car just scrabbles for grip mun gave him enough room you can’t disappear a car into the wall That’s So Andrew Jordan always used to say when somebody shuts the door in turn one you if someone pushes in on you and they you’ve got no different if there’s a curb or a bit of grass yeah you can get a bit cheeky and give a bit more of a push as a plane has just taken off over the track and it’s so low the Airfield is literally behind where the spectators are sitting is we’re walking down there to film something earli on today and a plane appeared above the trees yeah there he is have it I’m actually surprised V’s allowed to fly here I mean must have he only be allowed to fly at a certain height in in a certain uh parameters w’t he I’m not sure about that mate is that for youz that’s not a bit of me that you not not for planes in general really unless they’re massive like I say the massive one W very good on Friday was it oh yeah bit like a small plane If It Go like you need somewhere to land only that’s the issue you can land in quite small yeah small plane I reckon he can land somewhere quite small well depends if something like you can land on a road if something’s not coming the other way yeah but then but then unfortunately our man with the big Triple 7 or whatever the hell it was we came in on that whole bloody Runway to land on he’s still somehow if if I’ve been asleep I reckon I a back injury brace brace um Hal berett Anderson and Hal Anderson gets a good start squeezes out from between it was on the outside was Nils Christian Hal oh sideway in turn one but he’s just about going to hold on to it and that’s what he needed to do forc right into the dirt on the outside you’re you just kiss goby to any good time out of the first oh runs wide in the hair pin but you can do that there can’t you as long as you don’t over rotate and lose momentum you can wash out wide and continue continue down the hill I think You’ also got to be patient you get on the throttle and it will it will run you straight off the road when it’s that Dusty and that’s where experience countes isn’t it because you don’t get in a in a flap there and try and deal with it with more throttle you you straighten the car up and and for the grip to come back yeah carry the momentum through the corner as you said yesterday damage imitation you’ve made the mistake you’ve already lost a few tents don’t lose more I was making all sorts of hand signals to you then as if I was explaining to you but obviously no one at home can see it so I always think that about radio I any I’ll be any good at radio this and that happening oh yeah you can’t see it can you Anderson runs wide through the uh compression just touches the rear wheels into the dirt bit of under steer on the loose nicely to the Apex though much better that time around we saw a brilliant Drive Merson yesterday didn’t we after he’ had that front diff failure in q1 absolutely nailed it in Q2 was was one of those sort of but Q2 he was in the slowest of the races and he was on sort of one of those sort of raggedy drives where he maximized the time he had the car by the Scruff of the neck he really did but that’s hard with a lights car cuz normally if you get two send with him you lose time but he was properly hustling it he then won Q3 and he took the TQ how which is which is’s wild he’s on a big mission as well here see the car move around on the brakes we’ll run right to the outside because that’s the best way to car the speed through the final corner so he’s chasing of course Casper Jansen Casper’s time 2 29.8 let’s see if he gets to the Apex this time look at the rotation on that he’s very very good isn’t he and very confident in the car too knows what it’s going to do Underneath Him saw y kristoferson this morning didn’t we he asked where we were last night we told him out the bar cuz there’s only one we actually also went to a beautiful water didn’t we which was store forign store Frozen I can’t remember think yeah there a few little bits on our stories if you want to see it it’s stunning it’s uh C at its biggest flow at this time of year I guess because of snow melt further up the mountain and uh yeah it was it was really cool wasn’t it how because it stays light here normally we C Anderson takes it he’s gone quicker as well 2 28.4 uh because it’s day so light here you can go whenever you want normally we’d finish work and it be dark but it was uh it doesn’t get dark here ever time it’s terribly confusing isn’t it for us it is a bit confusing good drive for Anderson someone says great explanation Hal I’m not sure if that’s ingest or not I I’ll take the compliment thanks what would you pay for an RX light 150k no they’re cheaper than that and 100 aren’t they now maybe 0 about that you can pick one up second hand you can pick one up that hasn’t been used for a while we were discussing this yesterday on a we that uh has been stood for a little while or up between the hugs I wonder what Rus is going to do about that there’ll be discussion between the brothers they’re cars they are really fun and and the spec classing is great and there’s there’s good interest there’s a support class at hus in the magic weekend next Friday where there’s lots of new drivers coming in there’s there’s good interest for rally ex next year there’s also Part Supply H and this is one of the things which you and me have discussed a lot particularly with you rebuilding your your old superc car you know so much of it you have to get bespoke night but so but you’ve got good contacts you know someone coming into the sport without those contacts doesn’t know to go and the nice thing about a lights car is you literally pick up the phone you go Andreas this is broken and he pings it over to you in the post uh lonus Westman is leading the standings that look like in open two wheel drive but uh we’re on Supercar lights of course one more race to come on this and this is Simon olivon on the outside who was Black Flag this is the incident we looked at with Rus in the uh in the pre-show and that’s why he starting in the slowest of the races in Q2 Olson with a good start gets around dabak get it pitched in come on now feeling the grip that see that’s really nice he’s really aware of the grip there how he goes nowhere near the wet sloppy stuff on the outside but he’s had two races and as you said they’ll be looking at the other races from the spotter position go don’t go wide you’re going to lose too much time yeah credit to a sister Sandra hulin who will have been watching the other races that’s also Simon’s experience where a lot of drivers might tried to get the car turned in there and have the rear step out side by side with e to we to first ever Podium yesterday he actually let the he just let the nose run on so they ran side by side it wasn’t the best first Corner time from him but he was totally drama free because he he he drove the corner knowing that had he pushed on then had got caught together and we saw exactly what happened with v and Omen yesterday when they when Val had that big role in the first Corner yeah rain is not happy with ion earlier although he didn’t know who his name was obviously he will know a little bit yeah we’re messing a bit but I love the fact he just reverses them by numbers I don’t know he’s 52 he get the penalty that’s it that’s the decision you got be you what was he said maybe I’ll make some new friends in tell I’m not making any friends here I wonder what he’d think now if he did come back to racing and a she made a decision if he would feel any different about it yeah that’s interesting and uh you do see Things From a Different Light don’t you but also you to live in someone else’s shoes don’t you they say I think you I still think you’d be that no mate it wasn’t me I stand Here casting judgment all day long and you know I’ve written about the sport for for a long time now watched a lot of rally cross and uh yeah I make the same silly moves or mistakes that anyone else would so you can’t the the classic example and I’ve talked about this before is I would always chastise anyone for jumping the start due to the light system ESP certainly in the world championship where you have the ready to raise light come on it then goes off and then the lights come on for you to uh to start the race only people jump start as a novice when they’re ready to Rice light goes out go out my superc car STS on hanging on the handbrake at Len Hill ready go I let go the hand didn’t I idiot as I did it I was like you you you idiots that’s a great example of you can watch all you like but you but it’s it’s different when you’re in that seat so I’m sure rers would still go for the for the for the 50/50 move course he would of course he would ol is going to take this one is he going to better at the time then I think he will to be honest track’s looking like he’s going to improve and he yeah does by 8/10 so olivon wins the session and that’s a perfect comeback from what happened to him in uh exactly in q1 the reason he’s in this race is that black flag so Black Flag puts him in the final race track conditions mean that he’s gone slightly quicker um and I think we’ll be in for a bit of Banger next time so we should have Jansen let me see what we L Anderson Jansen Berget darak and olivon I think so yeah I think we will too I’m just looking at the time trying to figure out Kevin dalack’s done a stellar time there as well at 230 that’s going to put him third fourth quickest yes so that’ll be the four that’ll be the four so Tobi St back actually gets knocked down so because it’ll be olivon Kevin darack Anderson and the car so that’s going to that’s going to be cool so that be in the next one Q3 coming up after a short break but we’ve got open four drive before then now Hal actually with the withdrawal yesterday of Frank Val we won’t have semi-finals for super car that’s the first time that’s happened it’s a bit of a shame I think it’s maybe a sign of the way um the sports going I suppose in terms of people not necessarily doing super car yeah there aren’t new super cars about maybe it’s cuz we’re so far north in Sweden I don’t know but if we we I think there’s also two big rallycross events in in the space of few days a lot of people are going to be Championship next weekend in h so yeah just today there won’t be semi-finals for super cars so the point is you’ve got to be in the top six now bear in mind Kevin Erikson has withdrawn there are actually only eight cars here there only two people will miss out I reckon I could have a bit of a stab at who’s not going to make the cut Howell that’s my guess there Andrew C I no I reckon I would actually do you reckon you’d make it yes what cocky pair of Muppets we are we’re both laughing we both know it we’re not that Gooden on the inside but he’s beat by toin to turn one but he holds on that’s nicely done by mattman oh a little bit too wide is out in the loose D but brings it across the Apex that’s where he went off yesterday one of the poles gets fired up into the air well held Matt zman that was all over the shot wasn’t it and those are the scenarios where he’s compromised with his steering situation with the car fighting him like that he did a great job to hold onto it yni toin was fair there as well just came out throttle that little bit didn’t Dove him in the side that out the window and he’s going to give him a nud out the help Elena last night his daughter P She was lovely she’s I know we gone about matx s at home and I’ve told you frequently if you don’t like it it’s unfortunate because me and how both admire him a lot and she was so sweet about how proud she was of her dad how proud they all are him teaching them you can overcome anything you don’t let don’t let something as awful as what happened to him overcome it he had his accident when she was just 3 years old she’s I can’t remember dad walking but she said you know basically he’s taught her that you know adversity is to be overcome I thought it was really cool yeah wonderful insight and uh we were talking about his his spin yesterday get excited now to coming in alongside Martins behind Tam to is a young driver here 15 years old making his super super car debut this year and he is learning quickly they’ve dish out penalties for instance at the Joker merge and the reason that some of these penalties are quite harsh is because they need to be for drivers to learn and clearly to B is learning on two separate occasions in this race so far he’s bailed out of a situation knowing it’s better to live for another day he’s really learning quickly both in the car and in the race situations and that’s fantastic he’s better with your qualifying results he better in terms of damage on the car so it’s better for your budget doesn’t mean we don’t want people to race but it’s exactly what Rish was said there is a time and a place for taking a big risk it’s not Q2 to has lost out badly behind Tam here Omen get in and out of the Joker the compromise just finish on the The Omen spin from yesterday she was like Dad was so pumped he was like he’d been fastest in q1 fastest in both practice sessions so close to the track really really wanted a win and it was that enthusiasm that made him overdrive and I love the fact that he’s so committed he still gets so bumped to try and Achieve it’s amazing I would love you all to come to an event to see him drive and then go to his tent and have a look at the car I really would well maybe we should start doing tours you know I just think yeah brilliant when the TV thing ends I might do that we’ll start doing some rally cross tours how we know where the good bars are we know where the friendly teams are we get a group of people together go and have a couple of jars and watch them rally cross it’s Elena there it is it’s Matt’s daughter with her dog and I assume her kids kid I think he’s got one but we met the dog [Music] earlier I was very impressed with toin in this race look at that om enough room this is this is what I was talking about so oman’s out in the boonies and struggling toin could have buried him there yeah and chose not to they both had a good chunk of the uh the ballards on on the inside and I wonder if we’ll see the joke em merge later on I’m hoping we don’t get any penalties for bards they limit but you can’t when someone’s on a ride like that there’s no there’s no advantage taken and I think that’s where Reus gains because he knows that when you are fully in control of the car you haven’t really gained anything exct don’t out many times used to annoy me so much in the world championship Tim asanov with the Ballard in in holus when they deced him from the whole event pathetic I was working on the series he in the rules but it was the dumbest rule ever Matt zman 224 point before there has to be some judgment how on track limits when either the car is out of control or when somebody else has nerfed you off to have yeah if you don’t gain you’ve gone through three you’ve gone through three ballards sideways and lost N9 seconds what’s the point of giving them a further three that some of these stuff is so common sense that’s why track limits are frustrating in general aren’t they you better to have something physical there that stops the abuse and then yeah there’s no discussion right OE Erikson on the inside enland martinov and torren so enland could give Ericson a bit of a race here Erikson will try around the outside though oh he’s going to back off as the enland gets sideways Ollie ends up not as far out as Kevin did earlier torr’s gone through I reckon I don’t know it depends how far back martinov is but Ole might well go Joker straight away here to get away from torren if torren doesn’t go yeah he has to really but but but he’s going to be I also think he’s probably quick enough to pass martinov on track he is definitely quick enough to pass it’s annoying yeah but to ended well there not to get over rotated and spin in the first he did get over rotated but he didn’t spin in the first Corner got very sideways in the Poo Kevin Erikson was just pushing a tire trolley behind us in the studio and then heard that open four drive on the right line and ran to the uh start Finish Line everyone loves a super car or four Drive [Music] yeah Martin enland he’s uh he’s doing a good job on his first year in super car he was all smiles when we saw him yesterday tell you what hasn’t caught up onto the back of martinov as quickly as I thought he would here this is a good step up for martinov from yesterday over his Pace from yesterday okay watch for Kevin in the background he looks up the inside of martinov martinov doesn’t Joker and that’s going to cost OE Ed goes sideways he’s not obliged to Joker though but OE would have hoped he would but he hasn’t now OE looks inside again going to try and find the traction and get along side him yes and he does well done vgo you that is so switched on from vgo to know what we talking about dip the camera down have a look you’re a Legend vgo So ‘s made up one position but we’re on to the final lap now so edland is W far up the road he’s 1.6 ahead of torren this going be close with t think 1.6 I reckon he’ll yeah I reckon he’ll get Toren so do I cuz I think Tor will be a little bit more cautious than all he was in The Joker look at that but I don’t I think en’s going to be too far away yeah me too so en’s going to look at enland coming down the hill now he comes across Kevin you’ll clearly see him into the left oh toor that that’s the differential Pace off the Joker he’s downhill across the dip but it gives you a wider entry into that tiing left hander good the in there as well Wonder if’s yeah know enland though out front’s going to get it target times 224 I think he’s going to get that as well personally I think he’s going to beat Matt oman’s time he does he does but by the tiniest to margins I thought it was going to be more than that 224 385 to a 224 413 that’s 2800 of a second I think 2 plus T is four it’s quick maths about quick maths there it’s it’s a it’s a lyric from a song hell is it yes what song is that uh I think it’s man’s not hot never hot used to me he in the video man’s not hot never hot don’t think so it’s a classic man’s not hot never hot you you don’t know that one I love how so much he’s so not down with the kids and it’s brilliant I’m not nearly 50 mate shut up he also SED a massive mosquito on my back in the middle of that race but I’m I’m I’m I’m here for it it’s fine man’s not hot never hot Martin enland takes the session I’ll put the lights on how that’s going to make the man hot um Martin enland takes the session in open for Drive put man’s not hot never hot in the comments if you’re aware of the song and if you’re not have a look at it on YouTube in the little break which we’re about to take sun’s out man’s not hot they hot sun’s out guns out yeah not for me though no no here comes enland he is didn’t see us ignored you completely see didn’t wave look Andy Scott that’s a bit of an in joke that sorry who else is oh here comes Ollie ol’s coming in the fc2 right so olie’s coming in the fc2 we’re going to take a quick break because we need to go and get our grids and stuff ready for ke3 here he is lovely job few bits or bits of tape and some Tire rubbing down the side there’s Maria Maria Maria so glad to see you and Kevin’s here as well we promised we’d sing that at some point this weekend we do things to entertain ourselves there we are so yeah we’re going to take a quick break uh we’ll be back shortly won’t be that long Q3 go look at that video on uh on YouTube and and the lovely waterfall on Instagram and we’ll see you in a bit [Music] [Music] [Music] 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 1 14 15 16 17 18 19 [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music]

qualifying for cross car junior hampus hagstrom is in the lead at the minute with two qualifying session wins here hagstrom won yesterday suly had beaten him a few times in the finals having taken the TQ must have been pretty [Music] frustrating so excuse us for just a moment while we try and figure out uh what’s happened with our feed stay with us meanwhile I I guess I’ll get my grids ready interesting there we are there we are fixed I bet Adrian fixed it what do you reckon how the MVP the MVP right let’s go [Music] racing uh I’m getting my Championship standings after yesterday how has been on the printer Mission which is good I just haven’t been on the organization Miss which is bad cross car there’s too many people in crosscar aren’t there hagstrom Pete dup Alex Ana mataki and [Music] Carlson so just excuse us to say we’re still having a couple of issues with the replay machine hampus hackrom on the out side there you’ll have S the go off the line twice that’s where you’ll seeing the EVS feed thect in the rear on the way into turn three and four cars all over the place the grips Chang massively again hasn’t it because they’ve watered the track in between this session Aon goes into the Joker and it’s perra isn’t it all over it is yeah uh not sure if it’s mataki and I think mataki’s at the back Alex aner and Arvid Carlson are in there too I think it’s mat laki we only have the one sector around here it is mataki yeah so yeah P2 mataki and P2 really got Force wide on the first lap PIR all over the back of the leader here and this could play into the hands of hagstrom who was joked early on and Tiller was the uh culprit in the front to rear contact in this concertina up at The Hairpin early on P’s going to joke you can tell by the attitude of the car starting to rotate the rear end and has gone as well and that’s perfect for too late for to respond to hrom hr’s done well they been T only had a lap and hr’s made that time up you say behind like I think you probably should have stayed out good effort can’t know that without the spotter in in junior crosscar you can’t know what the Gap actually is always tricky [Music] [Applause] [Music] P all over the back of hagstrom has hagstrom got a problem here because uh doesn’t have the pace we would expect or is p just on an absolute flyer well P’s been impressive nine behind coming into this lap I think that’s enough for hagstrom to take the lead when mataki goes in mat both mat lacki and antila took a strange wide line through The Hairpin to get into the joke you got coming there really slowly square up and just point it down the dip and through into the Joker it’s a straight line in was that one of om’s team that just walked by lots of ‘s Team here this we down there being so close to his his home well we we said it yesterday I don’t want to jinx him again today he better shut up yeah you better shut up Coy we all want to see an omen win at his home track hampus hagstrom after not a great start that shows how class he is he’s won the first two qualifying sessions I suspect that that time loss might mean that win this one especially if track conditions improve but all the same takes the win and it’s a 24.4 how’s that hell compared to the others yeah 5 Seconds off but track conditions are different so their Q2 comes off the back of everybody else’s q1 doesn’t it so I imagine the track conditions are dry then I don’t know what their q1 was like also more rutted after the open four-wheel drives which does make a difference [Music] I have a bite so big on my ankle that I feel like I might be growing a second foot ow what was that there another one on my head they’re terrible today how got one early he hit me very hard but as he said I did get to the fly he’s smiling now yeah I know what I enjoyed it deny it I know what he’s up to he loves physical pranks he he does love a physical prank hell does he let’s say now I’m a dad that’s true yeah you’re a dad we talked about this yesterday he keeps surprising him who just in my lounge it’s mine no I know you home it’s when you think about it yeah it’s when you think about it I’m doing like normal what was normal life rally cross your your normal life is far from a normal life mate it’s literally he is 24/7 rally crossing here yeah right po toin and Carl Schnack Carl ferland Theo Hanssen and Pon Oscar and suly not until race three suly is also sitting p7 with a seventh and an 11th so hagstrom is stealing a little bit of a march on the championship here um this weekend just FYI people in the comments are also telling you to shush so what about M man’s not hot never hot cuz I love seeing the almost the entire lyrics of the song appearing at the end of the last session mate that was brilliant it was brilliant but no more Omen CH did you look at it or not in the break did you look at the video no I didn’t know I was talking to people about rally cross Frank V’s bus has broken down and he can’t leave are you joking bad luck doesn’t come in or some they comes in three so I wouldn’t go to the hill climb mate at this point he was going to take all the underg guards off do some trick stuff with the engine and and now I’ll be thinking maybe I’ll just go home when the bus is fixed that is a bummer though isn’t it I love a good rally cross bus if you considered one I I’ve often pontificated over the the ideal form of Transport Airport bus would be good you know bendy bus yeah Workshop out of why not too slow just rubbish no one lik a bendy bus no I think it’d be cool do the Bendy bus at holus that had a bar in the back well that’s different I think it was the club was in the front and the bedroom was in the back I can’t remember I wouldn’t there was some there are you would you’ve been on Happy Street every time you’ve been there that is a lie that’s another good you have got go how’s Happy Street mate I haven’t seen it at World Direct obviously for a couple of years is it as good as it was I me I know I wasn’t there last year I was waiting for the birth of my child that didn’t arrive until after Jus oh mate I no gutted you’re a dad what so you missed hus you am I you missed hus and and tan didn’t show up on time yeah mate I’m always late and you get crossed about it were you cross with him I bet you were actually cuz you missed all this weren’t you it was very when he’s older will he be like H I missed a holist because of you I’ll tell you a story about that in a minute all right dude is it on air or off air I don’t know have a think about it right short delay while they sort things out on track to Pan’s got a reasonable start on the inside has been beaten uh from in the middle of the grid byland but holds on around the outside nicely done Schnack had a good old look the moment the Cs left the line from P2 on the grid had a good old look to the inside and that’s your only real reference as to how good okay you know how good your starts being but you want to see how good the guy next to you’s got on oh Oscar’s got a problem in The Hairpin sensible to go into the Joker for the first time of asking listen to the Rimer abuse in these Junior cross cars oscarson can try and now close on the back of the pack having been in and out of the compulsory extra route for those watching for the first time and I don’t know how many people are actually watching for the first time Midway through Junior crosscar but the clap you have to take once in every race and it’s if you if you have any questions really seriously cuz we never know how many of you in you you got any questions about the sport or how it works please don’t feel like put off there’s a lot of people in the comments who are real experts on this and we love having you guys along with we try and out too if yeah if you’re if you’re new to Rally cross let us know yeah and we’ll we’ll try and we’ll try and help out and as say actually the guys in the comments are a good Bunch if someone asks a silly question fill them in with the answers guys we need more rally cross hands you can you can all be ambassadors for the sport it’s really important Joe clap created up here in Sweden of course 1998 was used for the first time yeah in a city center race in gothamberg created by uh Kenneth Hanson’s late father because basically and you can buy a book that includes a big story about this but uh is that 14 kenth hson 14 by Harry Rich how um but the basic concept was that Ken’s father had been frustrated with per ean’s ability to defend so well for years and years and there being no way through and I guess when you they were using Bigg cars then coming to venues like this where it was really hard to overtake if someone was very good at defending so the joap concept was uh created to try and that tactical variable and and it’s massive look at the sport it’s created you know it’s funny if you’re really honest there is often not a lot of overtaking you know on track but that’s fine if you look at most Motorsport that’s the case that’s what I love about the Joker lap is you know no races ever done I know we talk about often but the Exum christofferson race at holers where one went on lap one and one went on lap six they were never together the whole time but it was brilliant because you were watching the splits go up by a 10th down by a tenth and you knew it was going to come down to the wire and it did I I love that I love it and the luck you get when it goes your way or not to pinan takes it from speedland it’s a 2379 which is quicker by 3 second than hagstrom there was a delay there I mean obviously it’s heart track condition be changing a bit but hagstrom’s time loss was not in the ultimate lap time because the fastest lap there was done byland on a 494 heom in the previous race has done a 492 so hrom had the pace but all that fighting and losing out in the first Corner meant that he just couldn’t get all together for the ultimate race time and it’s a big gap as well hag or time just changed hag m a 240 and a 2379 is is a big gap so not going to take a clean sweep but uh still in reasonable shape to be TQ because he was yeah was 10 points clear of P2 and then Alex Ana and in fact of pet p in that race in that first race any P2 has actually had two p2s there hell so P2 is going really well um Adrien has fixed the machine if you’re wondering there was a slight pause replay at the start so that’s because they were having going be asking for a pay ad’s a legend isn’t he uh they were having to run the feed back through the the vision mixer which is the machine which picks the cameras wasn’t working so they were having to run it through the EVS machine which is why you saw a little rewind on the line cuz that a second the line the second the start goes the EVS guys start building the replay packages I’d love you to come and have a again a tour of a TV truck I’ve had to learn a hell of a lot about it over the last 10 years suly loses out the start Kenan and tries to get through on the inside but can’t it’s jonis Hegel and neelson who leads in the yellow buggy suly trying to go around the outside now Cuts back to the inside suly needs to take a dive here that is a lovely lovely move what a bit of car control that’s the move I thought we’d see when we walked the track on Friday night and it beautifully pulled off there that could be overtake of the weekend so far I think from that was uh brilliant brilliant awareness of of what was going to happen with the driver around him from two corners before as well how you know he lost out he got good traction he lined it up Moi over the curves on the inside brilliant that’s why you want to see him move up isn’t it that’s when I’m like go get him in a cross car what would Sully do he’s got a few years yet asn’t he was one of the youngest yeah and suly of course famously the driver promised a test at an eks 80 by Mattias xtram but was way too small at the time to even get in the car well he wouldn’t have been able to see the dash or reach the pedal would he but you exra meant it has ex got any cars left yes one yet there we go still on then Ollie still on nobody joking on that one Matas probably watches this and thinks oh every time I’m sure he won’t stop reminding him matus is absolute man of his word and if he says he do it he 100% will and he’ll also love giving someone that opportunity Andy will he have looked at a move like that and we go yes this is a this kid is good yeah he will you should let him race it to be fair if you get test you may as well do a race as well yo just come by interesting so we were talking to Y yesterday I’ll be open about this he’s put it in our little WhatsApp group need said there were a few decisions he wasn’t that happy with from Raines so he went and met with r last night and Raines talked him through each of the decisions and yo messaged today and he said I went and sat with r he said and he was right with absolutely every one of his decisions it’s a tough job a fair patri he said he is fair and he is calm and I thought that was really uh quite a grown up thing to do how you can’t say fair than that can you Everyone’s entitled to their opinions of course you’re going to be annoyed AR you when the decision goes against you and a few had gone remember Pac to running what five six cars had a few decisions he wasn’t happy met with and Ry met with him good on Raiders go right this is the Raiders Appreciation Society hagr sorry Solly nicely out in front hagstrom his rival P3 in this session suly was p7 suly really needs here to beat that Target time and try to move up the standings cuz at the minute being seventh he wouldn’t be on the front row how only two semi-finals as well so he needs to be up in the top four here to take it overall that is Solly goes to 37 yes he does 2376 so Oliver suly has gone fastest who else has gone quicker they have not than ah hrom here 24.4 413 495 yeah H hrom dropped down to about P4 in this so good for suly in terms of his qualifying position if he can get into the top four he’ be on the front row and that’s where he wants to be I do rather want to see that fight go right the way to the end of the year I have to say still no one’s troubled uh or better H’s best lap time there interesting so I had an email this morning H I’ve won a prize on The National lot because I’m not in the country I can’t log into my account cuz you’re not allowed to gamble from outside UK this is breaking news yeah I know but the thing is imagine if I won like 6.4 million now I can build the ridiculous opal two wheel drive I could buy I’m going to buy a load of fiesta r2s the old ones with the normally aspirated engine and an Airfield so we can have a play do you want to play I don’t think you’ll do any of this stuff no I’m going to do it all just I build a big permanent radi control car track in a in a hanger I’m going to get a collection of cars I want a 97 impress or a 95 impress or a 306 Maxi they are on the list probably I might get them a gangs I’ve really got into them from some of the online stuff um I’m not going to get a boat though they seem like a bit well depends how how many millions I’ve won I suspect I’ve won 280 so it’s normally the disappoint do they email you won a prize yeah I don’t know what it is and I can’t find out I can’t log in I see I might be a millionaire I could quit this tomorrow it’s highly UNL is it this time next week Rodney yeah will be billionaires you go Lon on the inside loses out to yera hook car I do love the hook cars because you you know a hook car Livery from the second you see it and yer hook car has done a good job here to get up into the lead Lor Hume at the back of the pack makes a pass on the inside dumps Hugo lren to the back of the pack and nobody goes Joker unless uh slotted off at the very rear that’s so steep up here how we used to this morning we did see a few things did we the crest dip up into turn three is really quite a kind of a square Edge and it’s really blind way more blind than we realized on Friday night and I think if there wasn’t a corner after it you’d have a big old jump over there wouldn’t you but you’ve got to be a bit wary of carrying too much speed cuz you never got turned in for the right hand and it rotates it’s dirty on the outside if if it hit it Flats out in a super car you you get good air off there long way to the man [Music] indeed hook has impressed me this weekend yeah really stepping up a bit isn’t he with uh this experience sorry if i’ oh many classic classic commentators curse thank you K the producer in my ear that little bit wide I don’t know what do you think eight 9 and a half and four be time trying to get still wasn’t that well exed he promised me promised me and then he teed me up yesterday and I forgotten he wanted to do it and then yeah any ask what you think of y’s performance longing he just wanted like eight out of 10 so he go be a 9 and a half before time it’s another song reference by the way uh welcome along if you’re new if you’re here if you’ve been here a while you going explain to them in the comments what the hell we’re going on about uh L back Hook is head of human lung dra the gap between the leader and P3 is three .6 and it’s only uh it’s 2.8 between eex and Hume so that might be tight but this should be an easy one for hook car lap time how 50.9 not enough is it no not enough at all oh and over on the inside someone’s made a big mistake and had to go uh I was going to say grass tracking but there’s no grass they going across the dirt someone in the comment says you wouldn’t quit Coy would how reckon I would what do you reckon I’d do I don’t think we’d see the dust do you really actually you know where I’d be mate yeah I do know he in a super car I in the pub no how dare you oh look at that H diving in super late it is uh H car that takes it human lungren it was actually lungren coming in super late on the r behind him yeah I reckon I’d do a couple of events I don’t know what in coms no i’ I be straight in a super car you do what you want man if I’m a millionaire I’m going to compete I’ve always said that I think I’d be not not that great but I I want have a crack at it what would what should I hire anyone got a hindai for hire at the minute yeah who M I’ll give Ian a call then do the rest of r x Denmark and estering week apart love to see you drive a a super car for the first time in N oh my God it’ be brilliant right let’s let’s hope I won the lot if not if you want to crowd fund it let’s go how much do we need I’m not up for crowd funding for for recreational activi yeah but I’ll do what I want what do you mean if we get the money we can do what we want we we oh ca kalala we’re talking we’re talking about how to get me and how actually know then who’s going to do the commentary this fight you’ve got to get that fight yes oh mate who was right on the X of RX Elliot senson leads from Alexander Hume Ras romit CA and Ronald bins ostberg is in P6 yugar Penton and Yami and Jorgenson Y is a little way down I do agree with you by the way mate with crowdfunding and Sport it’s not the one I think if you’re a tiny bit short of finishing a season you know and you’re in the hunt for the title yes fine but I don’t think you can go raising whole budgets on it it’s just not Cricket for drive over four Drive pram there’s too many different standings I can’t keep up what are we going into now cross car right there we go found that cross car grids do you think I should rent something else okay let’s do this then we’ll get into it in a minute how ostberg senson Hume bage and Penton ostberg winning the last session on the inside osterberg yesterday didn’t manage to convert but still had a good day oh look at the contact as bin comes across the front of the pack cuts off Alexander h lucky there not to have more damage I think two people are out spon’s got broken suspension in the background I think spencon had gone quickest in q1 this morning having retired yesterday with that massive engine failure and fire came into the cockpit then joined us in the studio gets out of shape in the jok laap section chased by Hume great decision from well I think is a good decision for both of them to get in and out the Joker I probably would have mixed a strategy up given the pace loss of the other two behind look at hum trying to find the inside line and get some traction and can’t meanwhile in the background pen but certainly a great decision forberg at least to get in and out because you’ve got clear air you know you’re not going to get held up behinds Fenson had had that horrible incident yesterday joined us in the studio with his singed eyelashes and eyebrows scared burn really scared me dude was first and second in the first two qualifiers hasn’t got going in this race and this is going to harm his chances because if you look at the championship standings yesterday yeah equal one point between the top three extraordinary closed wasn’t it fenon B on 109 and M down on 108 after yesterday so could be significant in the champ you H the spon’s retired from this race what that sitting in the TQ spot on 95 points he was a full 16 points clear because he had a P1 and a P2 so he’s going to get 17 points for a dnf look at everybody else most of the top drivers have had like a P3 and a P10 you know they haven’t had consistency so yesterday you Anderson lookas Anderson went through with two wins and a dnf I think it might be enough but anyway oh yeah you can get through but with three semis and you going on the back two go up it’s going to be super difficult to recover it’ll be fun to watch W it it’ll be fun to watch it’ be a nice payback for him if you got a good result today he said they’ had to change the engine on Saturday night every event this year sounds like misery doesn’t it grueling isn’t it really for the mechanics um and let’s be real most of the drivers here are mechanicing as well aren’t they we did a we did a feature earlier on which I think you’re going to see in the in the show sometime soon and the open two wheel drive drivers changing wheels and that’s thing to do [Music] anyway bin driving for the line on this final lap big load of curb there from wh bit of smoke out the back and someone pulled off to the side of the track as well how before the checkered flag who else has gone it must be passy that’s pentan who’s just been cruising round after that first at the back end thereon a spens with broken rear he’s dragging it around he’s draging it around he miles behind there cuz he’s been lapped so that’s wait where I supposed just get it back to the paddock and get it repaired isn’t it but you don’t want to risk bit oh no he’s just going to park it there isn’t he it’s probably the the there’s a gate he’s right he’s right by a gate H so I think they’ll open the gate and pull him through here into the paddock chip Pano just walks behind us thanks chip good to see you mate he’s uh oh that was over here again because well that’s what I was thinking is was the door slammed a bit too firmly is that what you think well stish actually wants to speak to us um I know if we can speak to him now or not rainish can you hear us trying to see he me yeah we do we do hear you so Rish yeah tell tell us what you’re looking at while we’re looking at the replays yeah just Collision in the turn one you know and you have a chance to go go back and show people what it looks like then uh then I have to use it so especially here I think from the front it it looks a little bit different that it was Collision like sandwich but uh but then we go back to the Drone and I think it’s very nice footage and I can I can show you that uh from the Drone here I put pose and on the left side of the GD you see two orange cones actually and that’s the the point where all the buggies have to go straight after that it’s okay to change the line and all the drivers agreed that that that can be the point so I mean now all the drivers up to that point are are going great and then it’s really similar situation what happened in in super cars in in in Q2 so it’s just for me racing incident and uh and yeah Sanson was on the wrong position wrong time so that’s that’s it what I wanted to explain for people honly we we were looking at it ourselves cuz it looked like an aggressive move from B on the outside of the grid actually if you look at it him could have backed out of that maybe and then it would massive differ we said about that the drone’s brilliant reers for that top view mate well done as we see senson go back to the paddock fascinating to hear from that from RIS um yeah I mean hum could have backed out of that I guess can we see the replay again at the start if we’ve got it in uh in swed in Stockholm there is Fenson I think the reason I that scared me so much says your eyes are very precious Howen and the hairs around his eyes as in his eyelashes not just his eyebrows were burnt to the point of being gone in places he’s a very lucky boy watch bow in p number four on the grid come across is the Drone shot is the one that gives you the better idea you saw senson take his second gear there from that angle it looks like B is fully in the wrong doesn’t it the Drone looks which is exactly what R completely different he’s literally he’s 95% clear of Hume and then as Hume uh as he comes in on him he gets rid of contact now hum doesn’t have to back out of it that’s fair enough but but uh likewise he could have lifted a tiny bit and let let B in you don’t want to I know but when you’re 95% behind maybe you have to but racing instant good stuff couple of YouTube questions Jeremy Andrew says if he followed you see back in the day there is a driver named spare eix any ideas what he’s up to now he drove in European Championship actually a couple of times last year didn’t he come to Canada as well the world championship he did yeah when he was driving for Super Sports USA but for former to that he was Triple European R Champion that’s really where he cut his teeth and made his name before going over to America what’s he up to now how uh being Norwegian what’s that mean sitting in a house by a lake well no but he’s not doing R across currently no just he’s just chilling yeah right that is a very long hold for those cars middle of the grid cner is having a form weekend gets away from the start nicely but inside him maybe not going to be able to turn in and we somebody gets turned around in turn one oh that’s Rasmus person’s been turned around contact and a roll that’ll be a red flag I’m almost certain cuz they’re up in the gravel trap on the outside and it is she just posted the video well of the guy with the red flag button who was up where me and Hal filmed the open to the show today he’s got a little computer and he can do the red red flag or the red light around the entire course in an instant with two buttons on a screen it’s good stuff that’s a shame uh how’s a big spider just lined up your laptop what is that all about that is a no WAOW it’s get it’s getting wild here is like an episode of national GE picking this commentary box Phil Whitley’s asked KY how what’s the best finished licorice to get now I have to say I am not the person to ask that question we don’t really like licorish which which is a bit harsh really because we often get gifted it by the licorice company which is based in kovala U but we’re not we’re not really mad about it um you’d need to ask who likes licorice person’s okay getting out of the uh who likes licorice that we know Tom Jeff’s World Direct cameraman Sally blower ex World Direct producer they both used to like take the opportunity to get bags of it home I used to take it oh let have a look at this incident off the start so there’s person on the uh inside in the red so he’s he’s alongside cner in the bright yellow in front oh he goes okay so what he’s done he’s gone Ultra late on the brakes and flicked it in so by going that late he has to put that rotation on the car but unfortunately he hasn’t paid off did he collect Ellas on the way around yeah ell’s gone into the barrier there or the fence on the outside we’ll have another look if we can yeah yeah perfect cner in the middle of the grid 21 on the left is your uh your man Rasmus person so watch he waits on the breaking to after his breaking point and violently turns the car in there lovely but unfortunately little tap on the outside he didn’t have enough the contact was initially into his Etc was then it was the uh oh so unlucky to roll it’s such a soft roll isn’t it the gravel’s Deep there you could kind of do with it being a bit longer and not so deep all the rolls that have happened there people often ask when you you about cars and rolls and things you very rarely roll a car until you hit something you can spin a car at 100 milph and it will spin down the road in the direction you were going that’s why you often see rally drivers get away with what looks like a a seemingly wild moment in the forest you know the trajectory of the car is roughly down the road and if you lose it you can actually sometimes Force the car to spin in a certain direction if you know you’re not going to make the corner and carry the car down the road if however you stick it in the ditch and you hook in it will go over and that’s what with this happening with these gravel traps is the car digs in and rolls over same on the road you could spin your road car no problem you shouldn’t ideally if you hit a curb that’s the point of which things get interesting or drop it off the side of the road that’s when you’re more likely to go over what you got [Music] Hal anything on the phone no oh we got something something interesting coming in Peter McConnell’s been in touch they’re watching in Jamaica good stuff uh who else we got Peter Helman yeah that was last night when he turned up oh vessa will be in holus next weekend mate v w r famous for cool sheet child sorry I’m going to tell the story so vessa was having a staer late at night in one of the ski houses that we used to stay in for holus because there isn’t much accommodation and Matt Beal the series producer at the time came out of his room in the middle of the night and vessa had somehow set the fire alarm off but being a Finn had also been naked in the sauna so Matt opened the bedroom door to find vessa standing naked kid with his hands up in the air trying to stop the firearm from going off cuz he was Ro he’s going to wake up the rest of the house and also being a fin I’m sure he couldn’t have cared less than that was there not absolutely not they make it a lot of the time aren’t they toppy used to make me laugh some of the videos he would send from the summer house of him and the boys sitting in the sun and you know enjoying some finish summertime but yeah having some Carnage as well what top you said do be a lot of these events I haven’t seen him this year yeah he was working with various different teams wasn’t he bit of coaching wasn’t he bit Ultra focused on the uh the business now oh chip are you leaving okay yeah go ahead re Reus is just talking to us see you soon mate braus where are you Earth terus do you hear me yes we do perfect I just gave Black Flag to number 21 because if you see it from here nose is all the way up and you can see when it goes down it starts breaking so without that car in the outside he could go straight all the way to the barriers he breaks only now and the speed is way too high that he pushed completely the the blue car and then uh also making hard incident for for this one who goes straight to barrier so you saw it I think from the from the Drone but for me it’s way too optimistic to to keep inside and just destroying cars on the outside and using the they these cars as a brakes fantastic thank you mate understood we saw that he went late I guess from his point of view he possibly no I think he could see the car on the outside at this point he would have send the blue card to his left I mean he might be looking through the corner but it doesn’t change the fact that you you just feel the speed’s not appropriate for the corner he wouldn’t have made it and therefore it’s it’s not a legal move and look at breaks only now he started to break and it’s way too late there we go bomb hard hit it was cross cars you last did rainish wasn’t it of course sorry what did you say cross cars is the last thing you competed in in rally X isn’t it yes yes correct 2022 was it 21 I think 21 22 I don’t remember I think it was in Ria P1 and P2 in two two races uh yes that was the Ria weekend that was in2 yeah got it about that thank you R in a bit mate so there we go rain is nitish with another explainer we can take the time to do it obviously when we’re having a recovery which we’re appear to be having there’s a lot of people talking with a quad bike in the middle of the track and high his jackets but I think we’re ready to go again tell you what it’s an amazing ability to talk to the race director like that immediately giving insight into what’s going on you that’s something that fans of many series would would bite your armor for okay so Ellas and person missing person because of the Black Flag Ellas because of the fence on the outside ISAC sector on the inside this is Advantage ret cner surely and it does go with a good start a little bit late on the braks nicely done gets the rotation done and he’s ahead of espan Centra on the way in with Oliver Yensen in P3 lot of grip on the outside of the first corner there sorry how Yensen up the inside that’s nicely done that was a solid move yeah a little bit of contact but he was alongside on the way in what’s your thoughts oh yeah I think it’s fine I don’t think he was going to get the move done was enough theide but decision to take the Joker not try and go around the outside of his Etc into the next corner now what were you saying track conditions we’d say well just lots of grip on the outside of the first corner you can send it in hard now okay you’ve got to respect the cars on the outside but you can get away with the big send because uh there’s lots of grip out there look how much rubber down it was there was no rubber there at all after the first three prce I sure there was some marks weren’t there but uh now it’s properly gripped [Music] up met s having a fantastic season uh well certainly the last few events he’s in P5 in the standings he’s only 11 points off y Al Army but he is about 30 points off the top Championship battles so he really needs some people to have a bad weekend but just suddenly the car has really come to him oh over rotation in the background There is cetra almost lost it yenson he’s right there yenson joker as well this for CER is obviously about the the target time down on the bottom corner look at the rotation on that all the way through steering to the left going to the right the whole way through the corner just beautifully controlled these excep car lifting its inside wheel much more than uh many of the other speed car machines it’s got quite cold isn’t it all of a sudden I’m just looking out actually how to see if these the clouds over the outside of turned two and three I wouldn’t have said rain over the other side it’s blue skies and sunshine but yeah it has changed the breeze has picked up like you often get just before a bit of rain go for a bit of rain yeah that’ be fun wouldn’t it l things up why not well they’re quite Lely as it is but always lives up a bit more doesn’t it we can take 11 out of 10 of life in this we don’t mind a bit a challenge we were quite Keen to get to the airport tonight so I don’t know if you want too many good point that is a good point uh what race we got mate still on Race two aren’t we wow but we’ve lost a lot cars haven’t we in the first couple has gone quickest Yeah by how much by a lot significantly yeah 226 was the time for osterberg a 2242 2.1 seconds so I’m sure there’s probably a bit of track conditions in there was in as well wasn’t he was he was [Music] so [Music] [Music] Noah Jorgenson jonan Yul Army K goth and Eric Nelson in [Music] [Music] this you’ll alarm me with a great start from slot number two on the grid you just saw it looked urgent off the line the nose came up the back sat down and it just went look at the distance he’s got you got rain h no not yet I was just uh testing the air sticking your hand hand out the door the classic rain check n Ellas just walking in behind us great drive off the corner therey great drive off the line I mean that was just a mega but the start is where he was so good if you remember in Cross guard Junior and he’s been getting banging starts all year see Nelson made a small mistake there out of the third of the hairpins now he’s under massive pressure from kerson oh kon’s got a proper crosscar Livery as we discussed on the broadcast yesterday really distinguishable and Yi actually I love the but do struggle a bit with the front of Y armi in a pack because it’s quite dark the the big colors really pop think of FY pendin yeah bright yellow H you know those guys Andy Scott yeah Andy Scott is bright as well oh late decision from Goths to go into the Joker maybe that’s compromising entry a little bit think did lose time there careful on the Joker merge not to have contact we’re hearing rain in 1 hour is what the forecast is so uh that’ll be interesting if it is that be time for what semi-finals probably is this Formula One rain in 10 minutes yeah rain in 10 minutes nor R turn three in 12 minutes Norwegian app isn’t it I think they use there there’s a special Norwegian weather app isn’t it I think christon uses that as well the one they all trust I can’t remember which one it is put it in the comments if you know so yamy and nilson still haven’t Joker shame for godson godson had Pace but just as you said how that late decision probably cost the time to stick him behind and now going to be out of touch with it lovely there look from Nelson Nelson covers off behind that’s time done nice yeah nice wide line into the third of the uh the super tight Corners here you can see the clean line as well on the exit then down to this massive commitment left hander wonder if you can hear the ft2 being run up through our microphones here in the studio I can hear it yeah anti-ag and everything Championship manager Peter Helman sort of frowning a little bit Yi does a 2249 so doesn’t go quickest CNA remains quickest Point s off cna’s pace and you L me had clear track there could have second quickest though yeah look at this start it just it really looks like it sits and goes if he pulls second early or what but he’s car lengths in front by turn one and then look at the rotation not too much opposite lock in the middle of the corner straight drive out of it I don’t think you I don’t know but I think you probably couldn’t get away with a second gear launch here because it’s uphill Flames out the back there on the overrun wonderful three more races to go in Cross car Yow army takes this one Nelson Jorgenson and gothen [Music] Yensen Minch Kong and yugar in this yugar out really wide trying to make enough space that’s how you go around the outside without shutting the door just give a bit more space you got get a nice exit though he’s got right underneath his rear wing almost in a toe isn’t it great run that’s yansen isn’t it in uh in second I think Kong is the the orange car great run by you abely right and the run through the first Corner that you would want he just gave half a foot I think that’s what right R was finding a bit frustrating is sometimes if you just leave half a foot and that Andreas you will win the start very say all the time you have to leave the space face is that what it says yeah there some big ramp famous meme when’s he going to ENT to cross car oh soon I’m sure well come on Fernando let’s do it come up here yeah as Mar not doing right any good now are they so come and do something else he he what sorry do for as Mark doesn’t you know this this other discipline that you don’t F1 yeah yeah F1 you what you what but yeah I’m sure he will have a crack R across at some point he’s that sort of driver isn’t he yeah ledge I think he’s turned into a proper ledge as he’s got a bit older is that cuz you’re getting older no I think he’s just less tied up isn’t he caring about being you know he’s done the F1 thing he’s won the World Championship he’s certified F1 Legend come back and he’s doing things like looking up big screens while he drives around commenting on other people’s moves I mean it’s it’s porno isn’t it it’s very cool it’s very cool he is cool yeah but yeah I I think oh K Kong there nearly puts it up over onto its roof straightens out go puts the deepest rck in the gravel he’s lucky to get that out there rear of the car almost look collaps but that was really lucky that was classic looking at the timing screen at the wrong moment because Mar you guys on a on a flyer here I think he’s going to be right up there in the uh in the order but uh missed the moment what what happened uh two wheels and then in the gravel I thought he was going to roll but he he got away with it that yes great lights on at the top of the car flicking in the other way over that curb don’t Mount that curve too high cuz that’s pitched a few people up you guys really on it here attitude of the car look at that bang little flame out the back not seeing that so much I think cuz it’s been such a bright sunny weekend we just haven’t noticed it in the same way now you just got a little bit of shade over the track takes it is it quicker yes it is by 2,000 of a second over teammate r s thousandth of a second wow I thought he was on a flyer didn’t think it was going to be that close no that is 2,000 that’s crazy and that shows the value in getting through the first Corner scot-free and getting about your race doing your own thing you could easily got caught up in a mess there and then you got no time at all 2000s is another two yeah this is it 2000s is another couple of degrees of opposite lock in turn one that it’s literally that you know it’s going a little bit more sideways that’s [Music] wild just realized I’ve been put in my hand out the window to test the rain but there’s a overhang on the awning oh so you wouldn’t have felt the rain anyway pretty genius [Music] do fortunately we don’t know what happened to Thomas eek Mard earlier but this is not where we would expect the Norwegian to be no especially after yesterday dominated the final didn’t he absolutely smashed it put himself smack in the championship fight where is he in the standing then Hal P 16 how many semis three semis he’s in he’s in but he needs to be further up than that if he wants to carry on fighting in the front twoo needs to finish his race first yeah great start on the outside by E Mad get a move across needs no contact in turn one now he’s got to get on with it so he’s got to do what we’ve just seen from Martin nugar Marin looks to the inside on the exit of the first corner no uh Mau is improving all the time but she definitely hasn’t got the pace of e mad at the moment made a super car debut last weekend that’s your the weekend before how’ she get on you know in the Finish Championship yeah she was in the B final driving an Fiesta super car but uh e had the class of this uh this quartet and um these are the perfect conditions to go and smash in a uh a quick [Music] time coming around to complete that first lap rear two of Joker enson and stenerson look at that the attitude through turn one opposite lck run in the front right over the curbs oh that that he’s on it he’s on you could see it in look at that how that’s it that’s the slide all the way through that is cross Excellence at its absolute finest look at this look at this yeah like this is a master class let’s keep it up come on now [Music] wonderful wonderful stuff from E mad and just a beautiful view look at the three or four inputs through the corner from vgo flying the Drone into here watch now all the way through the long right hander straight on the exit and as much speed as possible I’m loving that absolutely loving it here we go again through turn one look in over the curb now watch this next bit this is the dip he’s into the dip now comes the crest oh yes come on now look look at that look at the rotation all the way through that’s it the Golden Rod award has gone h two in a row he’s a bad boy the golden wand Award fine but he hasn’t used but he hasn’t had to the point of that award is handbrake use and abuse and he’s so D with his car touched any of the braks he’s just balancing on the front the whole time A little dab on the left foot just to keep the car planted yeah he’s brilliant and this is going to save his weekend from 16 this will drag him right back up the standings at the intermediate classification fastest time wow Thomas E M at significantly quicker 6/10 of a second than yug and Turner who were separated by 2000s but it looked it just looked like that kind of a drive didn’t it it really that was amazing didn’t it just brilliant drive from eek merad quickest and uh that’ll drag him up the order a bit he’s in that title fight one point off the lead of senson and bins [Music] [Music] so a couple of drivers in this one again you wouldn’t expect to see in here R hookah and Lucas Orab we spoke at ORV yesterday was having a shocker and had even more of a shocker today sitting p26 after a p15 and a dnf and Howell I think even winning the session well 46 winning the session might scrape him in but he he’s got to be a banger of a result hookah meanwhile he’s in p8 so he’s just in and needs a good time here as well what happened to hook car last time was p25 can’t see why um you have to forgive us obviously we are off filming stuff quite often when the uh when the other categories are [Music] out thumbs up from the Marshall last race of cross car qualifying up here in Northern Sweden [Music] it’s tering and tudo inside hokar and ORV hookah with the almost weedly like normal and again just leaving a bit of space on the inside line ORV wants to follow H car through has to uh be P3 [Music] instead so H car’s got it done I to say Hal orev really needs a mega result here to to get back in contention yeah it doesn’t look like it’s going to happen does it from that first uh couple of Corners hook car also needs a good result to get back up the front because being at the back of the semi-finals just isn’t going to cut it given the pace across the cross car field so uh he needs a good time as well he’s sixth in the championship as well after yesterday I mean he’s not really in that title fight this year but uh not so [Music] far orav at the back of the pack here just behind tamot tudo and drops a wheel off on to the dirt not going his way hook car meanwhile in typical hook car style sends it big time it looks very comfortable always has done the speed car wonder doesn’t it at those your angles yeah you know remember Isaac Reon used to drive on the lock everywhere didn’t here I think Isaac might still be my favorite cross car driver for attitude in the car ever but the speed car Wonder does seem to suit that the 10 11 appears to me to be much more of a neat and tidy style rather than the uh the super ways and yeah that that I’m not saying it’s bad it’s just uh a different way of um breaking an egg or whatever analogy you want to use isn’t it but they’re all the times are so close but the the cross car concepts are actually quite different I do um excuse me I do like the TN 11 the look of it I think I prefer it to the tn5 in terms of it look I like the angular air intake on the roof I’ve seen it looks quite cool yeah it and I love that you can clearly see the evolution I I’m a big fan of the speaker Wonder as well oh me too yeah I wasn’t initially I must say so different to the extreme which which I like no no we don’t we don’t unfortunately we to put up with quite a lot of it haven’t we around Crush well we don’t like change but I’m always disappointed at things remaining the same as well so uh yeah I’m just difficult to please change as in changing places during races that’s Mega but um Livery changes yeah requirement yeah still got have colors on the roof we discussed this yesterday no but it’s still like a new livery yeah good ones H car goes quickest 225 five not enough going to be about P5 definitely lift him up the order there ahead of the semi-finals yeah where’s orav actually orav with a 2288 is it’s actually it’s not bad it’s going to be about P10 but whether or that’ll be uh good enough to go from p26 up to p18 remains to be seen no we might have the standings after this that fly that’s on our monitor has been up there there for ages he can stay there man I’m rather than being over here munching on us you mean quite happy if it sits up got another Mozzy this morning in the uh in the bathroom may have damaged the light fitting a little bit to to kill it but it uh it got what it deserved it had obviously had a bit of me ow they’re not as bad as I thought actually everyone told us when you come up you’re going to need a Mozzy net didn’t they Bas it and you’ll be head to toe and actually genuinely it’s not been that I’ve been bitting a fair bit but you You’ been eating alive it’s not ideal is it well it’s suboptimal yeah but I mean it is we You’ see a big waterfall so cner TQ Mega yugar P2 senson hum merad ostberg Bal in Yami all the championship Fighters are in h car goes p18 to P9 Yensen nilson Yensen joron person Penton who’s made the cut in the top 18 the next three on the next page if we’ve got it we might not have it we don’t we do no orav 21 needed a better result in that last one so goon’s in ISC and enson everybody from tudo down is out over two will drive Adam Omen in the hot seat at the minute from lenus Westman Simon tiger is P3 then gabrielson Kong Johansson stenvall bergren and lidman two races for their Q3 it’s looking a bit rainy it is looking a bit Make It Rain yeah I don’t if rain ever heard that before I’m sure he I think I’m sure he has been around a while I think he’s going to be a bit busy if it rained looking at how busy he is in the [Music] dry Gab has got great start in the middle of the grid but just gets squeezed and then tiger comes across and squeezes the door tiger with a bit of contact with Omen but they were side by side Omen drops P2 to P4 Omen lost out badly there just didn’t work out sometimes you end up in those situations where you just Hemorrhage places gabon’s been good this weekend new track for him as it is for many of them but nice to see some of the fins coming across for this event of course it’s quite handy to drive up Finland and around the top into Northern Sweden no need to get a bow I’d like to see the fins do a bit more of it you know the likes of venol and came up to ULU didn’t he venol trouble is some when you’ve got a strong National Championship hard able to leave yeah do you want to leave you don’t need to do you but these events you know it’s why I did the European Championship when uh when I did it was because I wanted to be part of something and do those cool events was never ever going to win it um far from it but uh it was being part of I mean I think that’s why a lot of drivers do rally X that’s why or that’s what I hope for open to or driers people want to come and be part of this and that’s certainly why some of the Irish drivers that are coming back later in the year want to be part of it because they’re epic tracks it’s a cool series we’ve got a fantastic broadcast product you know it’s got a lot going for you’re part of something aren’t you ter yeah it’s not terribly expensive it’s double headers oh has a look up the inside of Kong Kong spins Kong’s had a wild day isn’t he with drama left right and Center yeah you’re not driving around the same tracks all the time are you coming to new venues in uh in different places experiencing different things and different people and that’s what it’s all about isn’t it absolutely You’re Here for a Good Time not a long time yeah yeah a few very key people have said that haven’t they tiger hasn’t had the pace that we would expect this weekend has he gon all over the back of him and that’s fantastic for us and the closer it gets at the top of this field is uh is going to be even better but I really thought tiger would have a big Advantage here driv twisty like a lot that’s what I mean the horsepower in that thing is ridiculous now I’m not taken away from his undoubted skill of driving he’s brilliant but wheelie there right the Starlet just looks Mega doesn’t it yeah you’re right I do think that’s part of it is you can’t use all of the potential look at that front wheel hanging in the air that’s the power isn’t it it’s sitting squatting with all that power and lifting a wheel right near a there it is again through the long right but this is your straight upper gear upper gear upper gear breaking yeah they just there isn’t much there isn’t much space for it 2325 for Tiger that’s the fastest uh time so far today they were out in the wet remembering Q2 though 2327 for lenus Westman in the first of the races sorry it’s 2329 I’m mistaken I thought it was a 2325 210 off yeah 210 off what I said yeah but Q that’s the that’s what we were talking about earlier they do q1 in the dry Q2 in the wet and Q3 in the dry where say wet is when the track’s been dampened I [Music] [Music] shout out to some of the latest YouTube comments few people are saying they’re watching for them from America someone says I’m in the US watching this on the down low at work so uh thanks for joining us yes who’s that brilliant there’s people all over the world watching we there’s someone watching in Australia Malaysia UK isand Bel it be lovely to get rally cross down that way how I know the world championship was scheduled to go down there not not so many details about it um but yeah we really need to get R cross down Australia New Zealand and Asia way we really do that’s it’s a region just hasn’t been explored contact on the run to the first Corner oh popped up in the air between the two BMWs oh it’s bergren that’s lost out again bur had all that damage didn’t he after um oh no Berg’s P3 I think I think sha Berg’s P3 it’s uh it’s it is sorry so it’s it’s Litman that’s had the damage very similar from the top those cars yeah they the only reason I know is cuz we’re in Burg pit earlier and that rear sort of area around the rear windows kind of a carbon finish right right I noticed it and thought too busy being race director you’ll need to watch the feature which will be coming up after this qualifying session we’re told uh which is a competition between our drivers it was a bit of fun Victor yansen closer to the Victor Johanson we know not there yet there is he he needs his needs the good engine his proper engine I do love that Merc it’s so Bonkers looking Victor Hansen has been an absolute Legend this weekend he has been across everything taking caps to the podium before his final race getting involved in collecting stuff together to make things for the TV he’s been across so much in running this event and uh I’m really pleased for him that’s been a success big Crow as well like he was in contact with you saying hey where you’re staying is here this is where the local bars are if you want to go for a drink uh you know he he was this morning he bought us a pen because we were short of a pen to to take part in this challenge that he’s in so yeah he’s great lad he’s a great lad and there’s a lot of it’s a long way for a lot of people to come up here in Northern Sweden but we were having that discussion yesterday and they were say in lot of the locals and there are a lot of people from northern Sweden doing rally they were like well as long way for us to go everywhere else yeah julus is a 10-hour drive from here yeah yeah is and Markland always had a long way to go to everywhere didn’t they you forget when they go down to Portugal you know people in the UK like oh wow it’s a good few days in a truck to Portugal it’s like mate from northern Sweden it’s even further so respectful Victory Hansen there could easily have given a a good old nudge to Westman but chose not to he’s getting a fair old nudge in the rear from Buren through the Joker laap section Berg sit him on the other side now so at least he equal on both corners cuz it was looking a bit pushed in on the left now it’s pushed in on both sides must be frustrating mustn’t it all the body damage part the game in it locked will yeah it is so Westman coming around to take this uh I don’t think he’s going to get Tiger’s time there you go I’ve said it damn it I’m going to be wrong aren’t I no he’s some way off one half seconds off the first time yes is he behind he’s also behind um gabrielson Lucas gabrielson was brilliant that last one uh gabrielson currently is that’s going to give uh tiger the TQ I think yeah it is cuz Omen was top on 89 points Westman was on 87 tiger 85 so where’s gabrielson gabrielson’s going to get 45 I don’t think gabon’s going to move above West it was a fiveo gap and they’re not going to be split by Five Points split by three yeah yeah so they’ll Remain the top four won’t they what riveting television people to hear us going oh Four Points here and Three Points there and just wait 2 seconds and there’ll be a graphic that shows us yeah just a bit too Keen aren’t we just a bit too Keen oh someone watching from South Africa had a uh a couple of people watching from South Africa had a lot of uh fun experiences in South Africa with rally cross yeah that race that one race there they are Simon tiger TQ from adamen Lucas gabrielson and lenus Westman bergren doesn’t make it into the final which will be a a shame for his hopes in the points Casper yansen leads the standings for lights from Lucas Anderson they were right up there yesterday all went wrong in the first lap of the final and munia olivon Berget darak sodol Hal casman darak and halg are your qualifying standings for all the cars here 11 cars they’ll all make it through to two semi-finals Jansen no needs to box clever here doesn’t he because uh less a disaster he’s going to be TQ don’t get involved in a in a punch up in the first corner and lose load with ol’s had a couple of Black Flags this weekend for uh ambitious merges um Anderson yeah I mean these These are four very quick drivers we said they’d all end up in the same race and here they are good reaction time from the inside three cars di back not quite so quick on the L ol going to try for the outside move Anderson going to go inside gives olon a nudge but Olson’s got enough rotation on the car to hold on Casper yanson does exactly what how suggests he should do which you stay out of trouble yeah he all of the attitude in the car there said uh I’m not getting involved you boys crack on oh I’m going to take the Joker get out of your way off do my own thing yeah you you have a little race I’ll see you in a minute when I’ve bang in a couple of past lap times see in a minute when I’m top qualifier I don’t need to worry about guys I got 10 point Advantage head of standing off runs wide on the exit and he’s going to try round the outside in the quick Corner not doesn’t want to do that look how dirty the track is he knew he couldn’t make it stick so this is classic Q3 wanting to uh box clever and not get involved I think Lucas Anderson sensible there not to uh not to be too silly I’m looking at Jansen mate figuring out the Gap let’s see what the Gap is to the leader it is 2.2 so Casper Jansen is already almost within shouting distance of the leader he could do with dback Joker and olivon really side rais Anderson much more measured I think anal Joker this time around so this will be to try and cover off yens at the back of the pack watch for Casper coming through I love the Joker here Casper’s there already so Anderson looks to the inside but there isn’t room darak hasn’t gone doesn’t have to go either but this might help olivon Casper Jansen trying to find better traction finds it but can’t make a move he’ll now cut to the inside can he carry better Pace down to the breaking Zone here and have a little dive he’s not getting either that how said he’s it’s in the bag really especially now Anderson’s behind him so Olson has an advantage of 2.0 over darak with 2.4 over Janson Anderson runs a bit wide I think I think oliv will have enough here Hal yeah so do I just needs to be neat and tidy on the way in get some nice rotation hard in the throttle or four-wheel scrabbling for grip over the top run the nose near to the grass the inside nicely done yeah really nice smashed it this blow my mind a little bit Andrew greetings from laia exra base we know who you are mate yeah hello mate Estonia loving this action we’re in Ireland watching from Barbados and loving it greetings from Poland see you in Nissan wow this uh wow say hi seriously in in uh the person in Poland it’s coming to n come say hi come and find us we are around often in the mornings once we’re on air it’s very tricky we barely get to leave this box once we’re on air uh we just don’t have time but yeah do please come and say hi don’t be shy come [Music] [Music] [Music] about Eric Beret e toor hold Tobias daack Jillian mun going for this one mun needs to try and Out start them but on that outside line is tricky M outside to inside late on the braks get the rotation done little nud on Tor hold nice P4 to P2 fair enough R said earlier there was a lot oh burets moving the car around under breaking mun has a little bit of a look to the inside B runs wide don’t think you can afford to when the when the pack so close yeah B yes fair play great great riding on B of the Drone B going to have a look to the inside and going to get the place back on the exit of the ha pin needs to be sensible through here cuz this is super fast mun tucks him behind Dbacks having a look at mun down the hill but on the wrong side fair play these lot are going at it mun is coming in hot the rotation extra rotation on the car into the right hander unfortunately this is just costing uh costing these drivers time RAC yeah we just won a good race unlucky that’s burer on the podium yesterday of course and AA Toral in the background making her first Podium and another look from mun that is a brilliant pass and dabak takes advantage too that was brilliant by mun dback goes Joker that’s a good move capitalized massively dback by getting involved in that cing these two time then jumping into the Joker followed by D I think D might get this I really think he might get this say B yeah they are that was a lovely pass by mun I have to say really really great racecraft coming from the super 1600 championship in the French rally cross Championship you’ve got to be so neat and tidy and committed and that’s exactly the sort of move they’ll be used to ex excuting down there in France dbak is 1.4 off bur two seconds off the lead I think that might be a big ask depending on how good mun’s Joker will be looks pretty decent on the way in Chuck it over the crest flick it left now watch on the left hand side whereabouts is D back D back there mun going to get a better exit here D back hold the inside but mun now should get a better exit here as well but dak’s done really well there holds on nicely brilliant fantastic job by darack brilliant yeah really capitalized on that fighting made a very clever Joker decision SAA starback with a fantastic drive to take the win there was a lot of action in that so probably not well definitely not going to challenge the fastest times there are a couple of seconds off that but a great race between them lots of lovely passing there little you know a little bit of door banging but nothing outrageous good [Music] racing that’s where it was made up wasn’t it about getting involved in that little scrum I have to say the Joker merge has been much more sensible from all of these drivers after some of the kafues yesterday and this morning so Reus is uh not only the decisions but then the discussions with the drivers afterwards as to why things are and aren’t allow has been uh well received some more comments in the the YouTube live chat greetings from Greece greetings from Sweden but currently in Croatia greetings from the UK [Music] greetings from Alves bin really or are you just saying greetings back go going say they wake up mate surely if they’re here they should be uh here I am indeed right here we go l h on the inside Anton sodol in the middle and Nils h on the outside LS with the best start and how you mentioned after he had a oh Sodom goes round in turn one and one to Yeah you mentioned because he B in Finland he’s had a nice situation of changing the liery well I went to speak to him about ear it’s got a new sponsor in val on the door and they’re going to be changing the liery on the car more and on the other one so I said oh thank you oh he’s absolutely sent it followed by his brother Into The Hairpin so the than’s making the car so different he goes oh they won’t be for long so thanks thanks man brilliant nice one yeah they they came together with each other didn’t they in in said oh did Rus give you any penalty and he said no but uh I gave him loads of room he thought he gave me loads of room and then we still had contact so we have no idea what really happened it’s penalty enough when you’ve got to go and see your brother in the aing afterwards and uh fess up to uh being wrong I think we’re in the same morning here aren’t we as two brothers who had a bit of a sex to yesterday apparent we heard of when we came up here apparently Erikson had a very brotherly argument after the race and then of course both gave way to each other later on the day so watch out for an edit of that on social it’s coming up at some point soon and Andreas really was very [Music] funny I don’t I don’t I can’t imagine having an argument with my sister about these sort of things because uh can’t imagine your sister driving Ross that but I just yeah I just can’t imagine I don’t have a brother so I don’t I got [Applause] two I mean we had some good arguments we really did okay looking at the superc car start list uh Kevin’s off it now so two four car races we mentioned already definitely no semis so just the top six will go through to the final well Hal stuck it off on the outside going to lose out to his brother I think here LS with a messy entry to the Joker Neils will be going down on the under Section now where is Neils he’s there in front last checks up to avoid hitting [Applause] brother Kevin Erikson is’s here with his L on and his OMC uniform on I’ve seen him in and out of the back of the parts truck seem to Drew his car off the rolling q1 today he’s just work work work you can’t knock him they really do work hard for the sport this family it is uh Neils Christian H who wins from LS Eric Hal 234. 7 [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] crowd enjoying a nice day here Applause there from that young kiddo PLO next to him just having a little yawn up fair go nothing on track right now caspy yanson takes the TQ from Simon olison and Lucas Anderson then it’s munier dback ber darak Hal sodol cman and [Music] Hal open four-wheel drive is up next This Is How We Stand Matt Omen is in the TQ spot how that’s where he was yesterday and uh shut up yeah I know no come on we got to cover it he’s got to get it right today come on matx he does but we don’t want to jinx him either no enland is in P2 to pinan Martinson OE Erikson down in P5 Tam torran Martin Kevin Erikson as we said earlier withdrawn from the event this is about being canny as well though as it was in the lights you know if mman does want to be at the front of the order later on today you just need to get through this race and don’t get involved in anything silly Hol ericon we know is very good Martin enland sendy sendy but fair very very fair true um be learning a lot and very fair in the last one so I think 15 you know and look having said that how 15 and leading both open and Pro Am and am I mean that’s Mega isn’t it or Pro and proam whatever you want to call them here we go looks like it’s a great launch for toin and from slot three it is oio going to have to back out of that gets inside Matt zman enland is off at the side of the road that’s a big help to Omen cuz om man’s biggest competitor was enland in the standings yeah Matt has gone off as well in the corner he spun at yesterday holds on though he’s got back past OE that was a scruffy first corner it was a bit like the eron’s Joker merge yesterday wasn’t it to runs wide at the second and the halfs gone Joker which I think he’s wise clear air no one really wanted to get stuck into each other did they in the first quarter and then it was in that where everyone was a bit sort of tentative and uh obviously enland lost out at the worst think you made a good point earlier how I can’t remember if we’re on air or not when you were saying about how you know when you got four drivers like Hansen Hansen extr yet Christopherson in turn one you if they’re all stuck together in like a brick of cars where they’re all door to door and no one yeah they’ll all stay in it no one will back out of it explain yeah because they know the uh the penalty for lifting and and causing drama and you know you’re going to lose out one of those situations but you also give up the position so everyone stays in the front you sort of move the corner rounds one and then you deal with the consequences afterwards so Pine is still leading from over and Ericson Erikson was 4.3 off the lead and 2.4 off Omen so at the minute I think this is how they’ll finish Omen would take the TQ I’m pretty sure didn’t actually see how far back to pinam was uh let me have a look at the standings I’ve got a paper copy 84 to 95 W eron sticks the wheel right on the loose that could to mean a second roll for fc2 in this second day here in Alin that was wild for Molly Erikson and has cost him in his fight to try and get ahead of omen that little bit of time loss would it have been enough do you think I think it would yeah cuz he was well uh well crossed up wasn’t he now he’s all over the back of mat Zen gets up the inside out of the corner will give him a bit of space here o gets right the outside nicely done that might cost Omen because to wasn’t that far back in terms of the points so to pinan was 11 points off Omen now what’s he going to outscore him by here eight points is he so Omen might still get the TQ toin takes the race from Erikson and Omen some good stuff by OE there despite the mistake to come back to [Music] P2 so another look at that first Corner in a few moments time [Music] to Pine and rolling back past the crowd up on the grass bank here it is from the Drone so ol has lost out here but decides he’s going to have a stab at Omen just gives Omen A little nudge he Paul Martin just dropped that on his own didn’t he yeah it happens sometimes doesn’t it did he stay there H he didn’t yeah he didn’t finish yeah he didn’t finish so that’s oh my goodness me that’s the old that’s a snow bank isn’t it tap the bank and straighten her out somebody’s just walked past us with about 15 burgers in a box this was the move from OE we actually saw I think Kevin P off a similar move yesterday get tight on the exit find the tra it’s quite tough cuz the straight there is very loose toine has pulled over almost at the Jo at the The Joker sorry pulled over almost at the Burger Bar there excuse me ending with the DNM they’ll get him scooped up and we’ll be back shortly with the final race from qualifying [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] here we go then last qualifying race from Hook head and barnon Al spin Northern Sweden been a fun weekend I have to say beautiful part of the world there is there is not a lot up here and that’s why a big sporting event is so popular great to see the locals turn out in forced to see some of this action they literally arrive first thing in the morning and they’ll stay right until the last race youve got the chairs up there and the coolers and they’re uh they’re in a great time Philip torrent Philip Martinson Michael Tam and Marcus martinos Tam must get a good start here and not get stuck in with this slot Tam does looking inside manages to get alongside Martinson PES him a tiny bit wide lovely job martinov was a long well martinson’s off on the outside H broken front suspension from right has collapsed martinos was so early off the throttle into the first Corner that Philip TR almost pulled out around him and went round the outside that is a disaster for Martinson that could be not making the final this afternoon I think he won’t be in the final and having won the previous uh second day in kovala a few weeks ago that was be a massive disappointment for him yeah I think you might be right torren so marus martinov was at the back of the pack and he’s at the back of these these cars right now Philip torran was in p7 on 75 points obviously Kevin Erikson is out so yeah we’ll see at the end of this one you think that might be from the contact in the first corner cuz he was if it’s front right that’s collapsed that’s where it’s a big breakage though isn’t it so don’t know I’d have to see the first Corner again to be honest he was very frustrated after the incident wasn’t he earlier today that first Corner in yeah Legacy of that couldn’t combination of that and T I thought you me this first well did cuz tan was inside him so there was a fair side to side contact from tan but if he’s carrying damage so yeah potentially yeah we’ll have a look at the replays in a sec this is a better run from TR though isn’t it sticking with uh with Tam martinov uh in the background looks well on on top of the car to end doesn’t he he um drove a lot in rx2 the last couple of years we uh Tam had they rebuilt Tam’s gearbox over night didn’t they Evo tberg sent me a video of the the state of the inside of the Box the inside of the box was look like it been shot blasted they he lost two gears how you pointed out yesterday we found out yesterday after we came off air why he was struggling out the low speed Corners yeah had was had third gear was the lowest gear he had and that’s tough around here isn’t it with the uh with the hair pins course the uh Nova tires are protesting aren’t they through that long hair pin checker flag Mich Tam 2257 so 3 seconds slower than uh the pace set yni to pinan from the first race [Music] [Music] how you guys [Music] [Music] spe so toin and takes the TQ they finish equal on points Matt zman almost got it but uh if you finish equal it’s who took the last session of the day so likewise Tam and en look on 122 each Tam had the better result in Q3 so he goes ahead to pinan had the better result in Q3 so he goes ahead uh Oliver Erikson is P5 Philip Martinson is P6 and that will be your final lineup no semi-finals today remember for open fourward Drive ter just needed that little bit more didn’t he to uh capitalize on martinson’s retirement but if Martinson can’t get to the grid then maybe he’ll uh make anyway that is true yeah cuz at the minute the Cleo is uh being dragged out of a dit on the far side of the track make the open four-wheel drive proam final because obviously OE Erikson and Michael Town won’t be in that indeed so there we are so we just have semi-finals and finals to come say a few semis won’t have semis for two drive or open four drive up here in nor than Sweden but we’ll be back shortly and you’ll be able to see a little feature as well our little competition between three of our Swedish drivers in between the semis and the finals so stay with us we’ll see you soon [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music]

[Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] okay semi-final time for uh junior crosscar only two semis remember for them because only 19 cars entered you need 20 to have the three hampus hrom on the pole po toin car Redland P2 mataki yonas neelson and axel snack in this one hagstrom has a real chance here to extend the championship lead depending of course on what suly [Music] does it is a good start behind him everybody squabbling mataki has managed to get up into P3 P2 is kle fedin in the black car Sedin very decisive Andrew in the first Corner oh it’s so wet on the uh Crest there as well really unsettled a couple of the buggies up the inside for snack in the background into the Joker for this first time of asking this fedman very decisive in turn two to hang on to second position but up front hampus hm has been the class of the field by some margin this weekend didn’t have the best of the conditions in the last one that’s really what hampered his course a bit but had a brilliant ultimate lap time got caught in the traffic a bit having run wide on the uh the wet gravel but uh has been right at the front the fifth fastest time he had in Q3 was a b disingenuous to his performance has been and yesterday absolutely dominated yeah looking really really strong five laps remember for the semi-final still just the one [Music] Joker I wonder what’s happened with suly this weekend we we don’t get the chance unfortunately to talk to the Juniors I say we’re just when we’re not fire in wasn’t he have that brilliant raise went quickest yeah but not to be not with hom in quite the same way as he has every else think there a degree of not knowing the track where we where we’ve been he’s been well acquainted with super quick in in Koval HR had the advantage ably didn’t he in uh in T at the start of the year yeah I think that’s fair mate thanks to mataki and to Pine and have Joker but they are oh how far off the lead wait for their times to update 6.4 and 6.9 so not close enough cuz the Delta is only a couple of seconds hrom will wait probably until later in the race but they are close enough to neelson and that’s the most important person in these uh two semi-final classes cuz the top three progress through to the top three yeah so that that’s what makes the difference isn’t it so one place up for grabs two they’re still they’re still 3.2 off aren’t they we think the Delta’s 2.4 but if they it’s not seconds like it is at the moment but that’s how where if you had a spotter which the Juniors don’t I think you would be saying wouldn’t you to to nson well either get a rle or get in the Joker and shut them off Oh I thought you I thought you were spotting for Matt Al I’m spotting for nson yeah so You’ be going you know defend the position spotting for uh to I even the fins at the back are just saying go push come on what would you be saying push push push that’s what they normally say it annoys me yeah me too I pushing be quiet more decisive information like we need 310 no I agree completely as we see contact at the merge there Nelson trying to get back up the inside of Schnack I think it was who just took the joke yeah so now this is the fight for making it into the final between these two because Sedin and hag are some way out the road and we’ll arguably finish first and second oh almost side by side some wonderful car control here from neelson to carry the momentum through the corners that looks really well set up that car speed H the speed is absolutely fantastic can’t find way through snacks really improved this year from uh the opening range remember last year they were nowhere near this pace doing a good [Music] job Schnack goes off to the Joker okay that was my mistake I was a bit confused by something there because I like a joker last of I’m with you yeah I’m with you no yeah I think nson had come off the merge which was just out the corner of our shot it was just nson went up for some reason I don’t know if it’s there was lots of not green ticks on the screen on the time screen now there are so um yeah that’s just me being a bit oh the uh the guys at PACE got in touch and said one of the transponders was 3.5 CM different to the other and it was 2,000 between them if you remember yeah checker flag hackrom goes through with wedland and Neil [Music] so that’s our first three that is so who is it it’s hrom F just trying to see toer misses out from the front row Hedland and nilson is actually one drive from each row there H quite unusual normally it’s the front rows that b of course when it’s three semis as we said is difficult for the slower cards at the back there just the pace differential is massive and the front row is enough of an advantage for the the two quick drivers to check out but a bit different here it’s got very hot again hasn’t it the back of my legs are in danger been burning here in the commentary box it was going to rain a few minutes ago I know they changed their minds who the weather Gods yeah mind a little bit raina’s NES was not pleased in the gap between uh Q3 and the seminal cuz he discovered we’re on a flight tonight to Stockholm oh is he he didn’t realize is he with us no he’s on he’s flying tomorrow so he took his phone out his pocket and and hastened away to see if he can resolve that issue or to try and speed things up for us what a legend and get on that flight tonight oh really yeah yeah oh good luck I don’t think he cares whether we make it or not he would like to be on it so does that allow him to get home too earlier I guess he take an early flight to Reg as well there you go see Logistics the worst part of Television being here is lovely getting here and getting home often sucks Pete D and Oliver Sully on the front row Alex Antilla and niik kinan Theo y Hanson and pontis oscon so suly in the 195 really really needs to make the final should do from the front row but in that fight with hampus hagstrom hagstrom with just a little lead might be a slightly bigger lead after yesterday and today’s qualifying remember there’s points at different stages in the day doesn’t get as good a start as P2 per up but that doesn’t matter keep it sensible now and see if he can get the overlap on the Joker don’t do anything silly in the first few Corners Kenan and drops down to P4 oh look at that lovely little jump rotation in brilliant still quite damp isn’t it despite how much intensity there is in the sun D in the the compression K and doesn’t Joker for the first time of asking that se the track I going to say is it in the shade I don’t know if yeah it might be right under the trees you know the bit where Omen went off might just be in the shade the Sun stays up a long time but it’s low in the sky is think it is cuz the sun’s the sun’s on the other side of the track hot hot hot hot scoro Ander lap one then Peru leads from hackrom uh sorry Sol alexaner in [Music] P3 there’s that little Crest fantastic isn’t it I love the way that the as the weekend have gone has gone on there’s been more commitment from more of the drivers over there and and more using it to set the car up rather than uh potentially being caught out by it well they’re just feeling more confident aren they exactly where the the angle of the corner goes of course the more laps you do the more aware you [Music] become Su is all over the back of PIR here can’t find a way through just like in covalo that those fantastic battles between Su and hagstrom they were stronger at different parts of the lap and we’re seeing that a bit here with uh P and S Su sorry you Hanson and oscon how are the P five and six qualified and they’ve gone so I would argue that with kinan and Antilla being reasonably quick suly could afford to joker now they might end up behind Kenan but but you don’t know do you that’s the problem with not having a spot no exactly but it’s how long do you wait you know do you think you’ll wait until the the second to last lap he’s going to is he I think you take the risk because you he’ll know the pace is good you don’t know what’s going on behind you but you know you’re doing a good Pace give an idea what’s going on in the mirrors you’ll have you’ll have a glance across especially as you come out the handp you have glance across to the right hand side at who’s coming down the track to see a lot here actually thinking about it can’t they yeah so looking down here you come into the hairpin you go through the hairpin and there’ll be a see across now until they’ll have a little glance now just to see who’s coming down the hill and that gives you a you know an approximate Del tracks they can do this at but also there’s the bit at the top of the Crest at the Joker merge you can look across there to the right handers that lead you to the the fast left I think you’d be surprised there’s quite a few places where you can just have a little bit of a glance even here look as you’re coming down you know looking up you can through the the vome section in Koval you don’t need to have a proper analysis do you as Sol does go into the joke you just need to have a glimpse of the color you know approximately who’s in the race listen H me and you talked about when we were both out running the r50s and there was a point at which I would look across as a reference to know where you were to see you know you you pick a pole don’t you you pick at the end of an Arco barrier and you look up and see and you can see whether they’re gaining on you or not yeah that was very annoying I’m going to buy a historic super car no you’re not that the biggest lie of all time I’m going to buy one just to annoy you 5 one the lottery I’m actually going to buy one yeah what would I buy I want it’s about the same speed as yours so I can be annoying I can s you with focus is that historic though yeah is it yeah whatever you want yeah P gets a bit of over rotation and that’s too almost too much sideways on the way into the Joker this could be tight on the exit why y that was tight wasn’t it can’t Solly go for the cut back in the haen he’s going for it gets the nose in drives over the bit of contact can’t quite get it done just shows you how important the start is doesn’t it and that’s exactly what rers who been trying to persuade all the drivers to do all we can give each other the space at the you can still race each other just two cars out yeah so P2 with a brilliant brilliant drive here he going to take semi-final number two Oliver suy looks to the inside line as he cross it over the timing beam and till is going to get third and where we had one driver from each row in semi1 it’s the top three drivers from semi 2 P2 per P3 and kovala wasn’t on the podium yesterday tidy [Music] he [Music] P duir from Solly and Anila bit with barbecue going on down there look where are they H not near enough to us I fancy of barbecue that would be good wouldn’t it I could smell loads of good food though I have no idea where that is nether do I I didn’t maybe there’s people watching From The Far Side of the track there hadn’t hadn’t seen that before neither have I what a nice thing to do yeah little area little barbecue going on right semi-finals for cross car three of them 18 cars only the top two from each are going to go through from the six car Fields CER Hume Bal Jensen Jorgenson and Goth in this [Music] one Bin’s on the inside of ow two he’s in the title fight off the line then serer and H side by side B moves across IM immediately to cover off the inside line he gets almost alongside cner that’s dropped in the background by goth goes round in turn one Cerner in P2 bows holds on to third but in the lead it is Alexander Hume from second on the grid again CA losing out a bit at the start happened yesterday didn’t it where he just didn’t quite get it hooked up for whatever reason why remember what they were say had that chat yesterday with ostberg about the difference in RPM of course I don’t know what engines in hume’s car I inan the kasat but there’s a 4,000 RPM difference between the two engines and that depends then how long you can hang on to the gears for but there is also a 35 kilo penalty for using the other engine so it’s pretty hard to know you know in theory really Motorsport yeah but I think there’s all sorts of that’s that’s one element isn’t it but then you can then there’s different sprocket sizes you can be starting in different gears different RPMs set for starts and stuff so Turner’s having a look here at Hume can’t quite get in there though but what oh that does Turner up the inside he makes a mistake and then goes back to the Joker great recovery by Hume cuz that was a mistake and now they the way you try and get back from it is he going to lose a position here as well might get back alongside does get back alongside now around the outside that is fantastic inside Jorgenson and Hume there although he’s lost a bit of time has not lost anywhere nearly what he could of very very fair from both of them to give each other the room there that was brilliant damage limitation wasn’t it from him to make State like you say but then rather than try and overcorrect everything right and have to go in the joker now let the car going in the direction he wants to go not fight it and scrub off the Speed really useful for CER though this is exactly what he needed he’s only 1.9 off the lead out so hum’s made a mistake gone Joker passed the car and almost in the window to pass them these two need to hold on for another couple of laps and extend that Gap if they can over Hume you can see from that drone shop Alin just got their covers on the uh on the side crash bars underneath to uh protect the car probably help a bit with the arrow as well lots of small Innovations on all of these cross car machines to try and get the maximum performance out of them I was thinking as well B’s car that must deflect some of the dirt from the front wheels from sticking to the rest of the car so you’re not gaining weight through the whole thing you know you hear some incredible stories don’t know wh’s engine smoking out of the final corner is that a bit of overfill on the oil as he got an engine problem it was very blue smoke wasn’t it so I’m sure he’s messaged us about that before and said that it’s fine so I think it’s something a characteristic of whatever the setup is on the car in terms of um oils and tanks and FL it here he goes so watch Bing’s now protecting from H the Gap was 1.5 to previous Hume should be there and he is so Humes done a fantastic job here Bings Mo does the curve looks inside bins oh that’s ambitious but really really threw the car in so he wasn’t going to hit hum in the side got lots of rotation on to have a fair race and has lost loads of time now on the back of that so still holds P3 bins will go through there this is about Hume wow is that smoke o or oil smoke top two go through in the crosscast so this is going to be bad for balin’s Championship campaign it is yeah and he’s at the minute he was equal wasn’t he on like 109 I think it was there was only two points in it between the top three CA goes Joker the advantage was 3.2 over him that should easily be enough Here Comes CA Now look for him in the background yeah lovely job lovely job so REM cner has that P2 in kovala is going to be right up there again [Music] today CER in fact as top qualifier will get poll in the final for this performance and he I have to say that was a great recovery oh hell that is looking a bit stinky isn’t it it really is over the line whom takes it is there a problem with the car certainly not in terms of lap time Bing’s good effort to try and steal that place back but on this occasion he doesn’t make the f actually that’s the first time bins hasn’t made the final this year how he’s only been off the podium once so bins has failed to make it to the final [Music] so we’re getting a Swedish lesson from one of our producers here uh Cal offers and apparently it’s j Jer unfortunately I think he’s going to get anglicized there hell I haven’t been told that must have been exclusively for you I must have been doing it correctly I you have been doing it correctly at all I think I have j j we can try I will try just listen next time I say it in niss and you Le yeah I I look forward to that getting dragged out of the uh gravel tra in turn one which was where his race ended Yensen yor and bins balin’s not making the final for the first time this year but cner goes through and so does Hume cner is fifth in the standings Hume is seventh that was as we started today of course there will be some points that have been added on since then from qualifying front row business for semi-final one so eek merad is in this next one along with Yami Yami some 20 points off the championship lead 18ish could do with going through especially with bins having had a a little bit of a shocker yugar is down in p8 definitely not in the championship hunt but he been having a great day there is yug got the bright yellow with the orange scoop on the roof Anique merad yesterday’s winner and uh one point off the championship lead so it’s a must do really for mad and Y alarmi if he wants to keep his championship hopes alive Y alarmi moves across behind E Mad you those slots in lovely job by Martin yugard not quite enough traction on the exit and Y Army now losing out gets a bit of contact from behind there that is Eric Nelson who just gave him a little tap where nilson got slightly better Pace nilson goes Joker straight away and in behind has gone was person person’s done brilliantly to recover from the role and disqualification in Q3 earlier on from that optimistic first quarter move be remarkable if he makes it through to the final but there’s a big job on to do that isn’t there because the quality in this semi mad Yuga Yul ly Nelson ahead and behind this is this is final business isn’t it that’s why we we we crosscar senior in terms of depth of C of classes is the best category this year definitely Oh by some margin I think it usually is isn’t it there many driv that could be right for the front on there on any given day mat you got to put it together if you ever get the chance to do a rally cross event you’ll be staggered at how many things you need to go your way to get a good result and we’re not talking luck with you most of the time it’s judgment and hard work and effort and totally making no mistakes I mean no reli involed isn’t there because because you can be so unlucky in the first corner you can but my point is really just to get one day right is good to get a whole Championship right is really hard and when the depth is like this that want mistake is punished even more yeah but I think compared to rallying for example oh as red flag I’ve totally missed why that is to be honest who’s missing who’s missing the top three are there e must D you got y Army who’s that behind is that is cetra or Nelson his etc’s in the blue they’re driving [Music] did we see [Music] it which car is it what color H so I think ISAC cetra has rolled apparently he’s okay and getting out but we’re just trying to get the footage of that the TV guys have seen it in the background of his shot there he is he’s out he’s out so that’s turn one H there he is e Etc isn’t it I’m pretty sure it is yeah it is I can see it out of the commentary box uh door a what a shame for Aspen that’s I think he maybe expected more of this year on the back of a stunning performance in rx3 last year in the European Championship rolling uh out the semis here so the Cs are actually coming back in how I don’t think how many laps have they done one not going to call that they a rerun yeah so they’ll go I re regrid well they’ve already grided the next Semi so I think and track conditions don’t matter so I’d run semi 3 now and then go back to semi2 yeah so would I but um yeah they they’re still griding the or they were still griding I’m just looking at the YouTube stream which is a littleit a little bit behind they were still griding during the red flag so yeah the sensible thing would be just to switch them around because there’s no need like it’s not the same as in heat is it during qualifying you can’t afford to do that because the track Evolution would be un an unfair switch Yeah but at this stage of the day it doesn’t matter yeah it doesn’t matter oh got it isn’t he Espen [Music] the long walk back [Music] [Music] we’ve got a guest in the studio Daman munier of French R across Championship superc car Fame has joined us you’re here with your brother julan this weekend how’s it going in the super car lights for you guys um hello he’s going well he’s going well he’s trying again to learn because you don’t have any experience of these ntic tracks and it’s pretty different than the the French championship track just a bit yeah just a bit no but uh the experience is coming uh laps after laps so it’s it’s pretty good now we have some problem with the airpin he don’t do good timing between the the handbrake and turn you know so we lose a lot of time here but on the T Zone like in the fren Championship it’s pretty fast and the lights are so specific to drive aren’t they not so dissimilar to the super 600 car because you have to be very clean and tidy all the time but you you can lose a lot of time very quickly can’t you yeah yeah yeah but is pretty fast and pretty clean drive so sometime you need to do like one Peter S TI on the on on the andan Christophers style in the in the T but he he found the good way at the moment so just need now to work again for the semi-final and up to go in the final when when you see a track like this do you think to yourself oh man I want to have a go myself yeah yeah to be honest I told to Andreas uh on Friday and say [ __ ] if I know this track is like this I I would haveed yeah I would haveed but n’s the same mastering the same you need to bring the polo mate yeah so maybe in this ring we look all right see you later so the semi-final who’s on the line is semi-final number three so senson ostberg hookah Yensen pentan and enson there will be a thumbs up for uh the various [Music] drivers senson of course had uh senson had damaged to the car didn’t he how and still he’s on the front rows in the semis Su Fenson and ostberg down to turn one spon’s got the best lead hook car trying to come around the outside ostberg loses one position there nicely done by hook ostberg now looks to come back up the inside Monsters the curvs he’s not going to find a way through it’s passy pentan who goes Joker first of all urg lost out there his teammate penson went up the inside into the Joe Gober had a bit of a b was on the back of H car initially lost a bit of time it’s senson out front though he needs a break this oh and H car’s got past I’m sorry Ur was trying to get past H car couldn’t quite get it done senson needs a break this weekend doesn’t he had that awful fire yesterday yeah and retired and then issues today broken suspension he was fastest in q1 he will be really hoping that this just goes nice and calm get free to the final and then try and make amends for uh for the dramas of Saturday afternoon especially mate as he leads the championship at the minute equal on points with Ronald B or certainly as off this morning where did he qualify he must have qualified third uh so that would have put him ahead yeah I think yeah would have put him ahead of BS and M he leads the championship now Jokers this around this is to cover up P behind he went on the first lap not going to get it done but looks back up the inside of penson great job bit of contact really nice oh penson comes back at him gets over rotated but loses out EG runs wide come on boys as teammates you should be giving each other a little bit more room than that I think yeah that’s cost big time I think that’s going to put ostberg out in the final how almost certainly look long way back now it’s so easy for me to say that standing here I think you really like reers goes on about giving the respect to each other and I think uh as teammates you as awning colleagues or whatever you want to call them within pce M but you’ve got to give each other just a little bit more room that’s going to be an awkward conversation when they get back I’m afraid so senson stays out H car goes in this would be because H car’s heard about the troubles behind his bottle will go hang on a minute there a bit of carage going on here we’ll have a lovely easy joke and that’s exactly what it is that is that what you would like your spotter to say to you hang on a minute I think we should do this man go joke mate everyone else has been a bit of a knob out there so you’re going to be fine you’d be great wouldn’t it then you just chill you just chill osterberg’s Dro right off the back of the pack now miles is plus 13 so you know didn’t lose all of that in the gra on the outside must have an additional problem as well p on under big pressure from Yensen behind really though two cars going through two laps to go you know who car’s absolutely miles in front of pens and it’s just about svenson’s Joker isn’t it I mean if you always say go one lap to spare in case you keep go now and he’s going to yeah and he goes so Fenson this should be tidy 2.9 it might be quite close but not too close where’s H car there he is lovely job thank youo that what we were looking for loads of Cur from Spencer not looking up the suspension at all looking forward to seeing uh e Mard in the in the rerun of uh the second semi-final cuz he was on a beautiful mission in Q3 earlier on interestingly as well how he will now know that senson is going through you know baring any disasters on this last lap so he’s got svenson’s gone through and Bing hasn’t you know this is a chance for senson just to get a little Championship Gap I don’t think that pressure is going to make any difference I don’t any even think about it when they get in the car you would be gutted as well you know when the race is going brilliantly and it gets red flagged and it’s nothing to do with you like cheers now got do it all again depends doesn’t it sometimes when I in my career in yeah my my career in in speech marks you know sometimes it felt like a race was going on forever and it was only four laps if you were under a lot of pressure or whatever and sometimes if you really enjoying the driving the car the checker flag be like you think is that it cuz a great time and I think a lot of the Cross car drivers look like they’re in that that latter phase aren’t I fenon who’s about to take the win here look so on top of the car they not hard work it just looks like if you if you have a lovely fire when you’re out playing with a car it is a brilliant feeling it really is um so yeah senson takes it with Hookah Hook going through from row two ostberg I feel was a little bit unlucky there [Music] but look at hookah here so hook car with the number two goes out wide did he go around the outside J does so he’s level with ostberg ostberg probably couldn’t take the ideal line into there with hook car on his left and then hook car went Joker uh when did he go Joker couple of laps time yeah so after this after the kle yeah so this is ostberg on the back of hook look look how hooked up they are this this is the kaaa we spoke of up the inside of P nothing wrong with what they did there as the two Pace drivers and then Penman comes into the side of rostberg and gone there so that’s not y’s fault that’s um I think pass’s been a bit optimistic I don’t think even of them are to to blame penalty wise but I think as teammates probably got to give each other just a little bit more space yeah agre but be like racing a sibling wouldn’t it be desperate to beat them so uh don’t care if you live in the same house all the same morning tinberg is a d now and we’ll be heading back for an awkward conversation with pentan senson and hookah go through rerun of semifinal 2 minus on the back row uh Espen Etc who rolled so Espin is out you E Mad uh Yami and Nelson still a hell of a lineup isn’t it this is a banger of a lineup even with only five in it they will all fancy their chances because there’s a difference of about 6 MERS between the front row and the back row maybe not even that four you know what I fancy all of their chances as well because they’re like everyone’s capable of going if any of them won you wouldn’t be like oh wow it’s a brilliant result you’d be like it’s an expected result I mean yugar as been rapid and the team weren’t they were really Pace really pleased to sign him as it were to get his uh he he wanted them to run his car I think Nelson and person are two that aren’t regular winners but from the top three as any ones yeah they’re not surprised as though are they when they get a good result so y arm me moves across just like last time to the inside line to try and protect in the background person going sideways trying to find a way through you G he’s beaten in turn one by Thomas in merad you alarm me in P3 anyone going to look to the inside look at them all covering off that inside line nobody wants a little dive everyone’s been very sensible on this first lap I was going to say I think go but that looks a little bit late to me I think it was all right difficult to say isn’t it from that camera angle have to say that Thomas E M was exceptional in the first Corner carried great speed just as we saw someone do earlier on it skat was it Thomas said again I think actually ran the nose almost into under in the cross car to not get aggressive over steer and risk contact on the outside with you guard it’s just like the perfect example of how to take this first Corner keep it straight great Pace but no damage risk yeah and now look at him send it like he has he hasn’t taken that approach when there’s L to cars around so I just think it’s great race management from the driver’s seat that’s what you you know when we’re talking about experience and thinking about what you’re doing so Nelson and person both went now Yami goes so Yami wants to the top two position needs to cover off the drivers behind and hasn’t managed to so youarm going to Trang around the outside that’s great awareness that’s what rain is talking about it’s actually a shame the outside of the track there isn’t a little bit cleaner to allow you to carry the speed through or wider yeah true but then need have 180 degree H and that would get very fenetic wouldn’t it yeah YY is in P4 in the standings or was at the start of today uh has been yeah missed the final at the last round at sorry the last second round at Cal but was p two yesterday be disappointed if he doesn’t make the final and at this stage how’s not going to right yugar and merad what’s the Gap it’s plus 2.7 from yugar to Eric Nelson uh and he’s got so uh who’s gone Joker e mad’s gone Joker so e merad has Joker from the lead with yeah with a gap of three over those who Joker so that was nice but e m had guaranteed a SP there by going early so you guys now got a bit of a game to play here Hal clear track in front so you’ve got the opportunity to do whatever line you want and carry the speed but he has got to have a big enough Gap it was go again it was 2.7 last time that’s about right what is it this time it’s only 1.7 back to Eric Nelson no that’s previous 2.9 2.9 yeah looking at the gap between he goes now he goes now so 2.9 n should be enough he should come back out in between eek merad and nilson and he does and arguably closer to E merad I think I gone again there Andrew yeah maybe but you know gone got it done just got now to make no mistakes where as he gone as he dropped off the bottom in the back oh he’s under pressure you guys Under Pressure this is for P2 remember this is for the last spot in the final this is semi2 on a rerun after problems in the previous run and Eric Nelson is piling the pressure or was piling the pressure onto yugar so I yugar made a mistake as you said he was way closer to merad than we expected him to be and now he’s in the clutches and nilson behind so it is difficult to say though isn’t it because you carry so much Speed Out The Joker doesn’t look like you’re closer than you actually are certainly doesn’t look to be any kind of an [Music] issue cleaned up so much now hasn’t it this SL surface section almost aim to the the Bas layer loads of grip all those black rub yeah there’s a bit of rubbering on some of the clean dirt sections to Thomas E merad then was D brilliantly in the first run until it was red flagged and goes brilliantly again here yesterday’s winner is through to the final today along with Martin yugar so the front row qualified from semis one and two only Ru hukah went through from row two of sem3 it’s Turner Hume yugar e mustad sent and hookah into the final Mega [Music] on so last semi-finals coming up because uh no semis for open forward drive let’s get the old standings ready shall we uh he says no semi for two whe Drive either so it is uh Championship protagonist three to go through remember Championship protagonist Casper Jansen and Lucas Anderson on the front row Tobias daack and Kevin dieback on row two Tobias is on the right of your screen it’s a good start by Jansen but Anderson is equal to it Jansen is he going to go for around the outside no he very sensitively drops in and we’ll look for better traction on the exit was rather tame wasn’t it finally was those two have had a few kaff oh and he runs wide sorry how Anderson runs wide and gives up the position does he no holds on just lucky to get away with that Cas have a look up the inside in the next one well you can’t really get away of it there can’t you cuz you can afford to run the deep we saw that a couple of times in the cross cars earlier on ah Jansen looks to the inside again but there’s nowhere around the outside there certainly in a single spec class like super car lights is these two have come together a few times this year so far but lar Got Away of it Janson gets on the dirt thatle of compromis he breaking you really close on the back of Anderson risky though wasn’t it when you get equal starts off the line I actually think second’s not so bad or even better because you’ve got the inside you can go side by side through the first Kink for the first main corner and uh Anderson used that perfectly to his effect oh right up on two wheels over the bump nearly drops it great to hang on runs wide Jansen looks to the inside don’t Joker go Joker he doesn’t I’d take advantage of that but is he worried about the pace of the cars behind I guess he has watch The Gap and now he looks to the inside Casper Jansen that’s a great move but Anderson still holds on Jansen gets on the handbrake tries to straighten up and get traction again here they keep almost getting it done and not quite this is absolutely Advantage Tobias stach looking at the timing screens who’s 1.1 off as they crossed the line last time around where is the red car doesn’t look like he’s close enough does it so don’t know what’s happened to Tobias but these two are really not helping each other’s overall race time not that it matters but you really need to Gap the cars behind thing is they want to be front row don’t they Row one row two Row three in terms of what the result is and that was some moment for Anderson last time with the rear kicked up he sideways again into the hair J going to Joker I wonder if Anderson ought to have Joker there to cover back to back enough three is easily enough something oh look at that something’s happened to DB back hasn’t it look at the lines that Casper Jansen Casper Jansen just got a brilliant exit from the Joker in my opinion really committed I think Anderson will cover go he has to doesn’t he right so we expect Anderson to cover yanson but look at the gap between them the Delta well is about what computer says 1.7 we say somewhere around 2.4 timing says the Gap is 2.2 so Casper Anderson has done a great Joker there Anderson needs this to be perfect they’ll need to be on the radio saying if you’re going to go you’ve got to absolutely nail it on he does rotate the car more lovely straight line in up over the crest through the left hander now coming down looking for Jansen on his left Casper Jansen is at the Apex Anderson carries the speed through lovely stuff no need to shut the door is it we’ve seen so many people shut the door from The Joker and actually you carry so much speed that if you give it 6 ft on the inside you’ll beat them out the corner anyway big cut from Anderson through the uh the next right hander gave each other good room there didn’t they I think I think Jansen could have been much deeper into the corner but uh decided not to be I think Mr Black flag’s got the job done I feel like everybody can yesterday I left here how a bit frustrated with a level of driving I didn’t think it was up to well look we we’re not where we were a few years ago in terms of you know Christopherson xtram and so on being here but I felt yesterday the driving standards were pretty terrible on a number of occasions and I actually feel today it’s improved a bit learn the track maybe and maybe you know R giv them all black flags in all seriousness you we saw Andreas ericon earlier he was saying they have to learn not to keep destroying each other’s cars or nobody will enter they’ve got to tidy up and I feel like it has been yeah yeah absolutely I think we’ve said a few times today people have been cautious and the joke emerged where they wouldn’t have been yesterday there’s been a lot more action in the first Corner hasn’t there but I think that’s been a lot of that’s been circumstantial than deler it Anderson going to take it from Jansen P3 is going to go to St back where is he should come up and over the line now there he is I think yanson backed off on the last lap yeah well tires you saved the tires yeah yeah tires don’t forget what’s the point in taking another few T outs we honestly could have he could have let himself all the way down into darak if he wanted to it is the top three that go through from semi-final number one so here in Yim ostberg earlier broke his wheel before the contact with passy so apparently no hard feelings down at the team that’s good to know look at this how this was a great race between two drivers who are very much the uh the headline acts in this category I I think you know both here and and the other side of the P I’d love to see Anderson go and do some Nitro he could could be in theory this season be over for then but it doesn’t have a car Cent currently yeah need to need would need to rent one well they’re renting this one at the moment aren’t they so it’s not so it’s got two isn’t he yeah they’re converting the other one yeah so convert the one for the states to the fc2 but there will be residual value in the lights cars as well with uh well but also the popularity increasing yeah but they’re going to build more chassis as well so I don’t think I don’t think the so will they build more lights though or are they only going to build more fc2 cuz they they what they 53 chassis or 54 54 but I but they’re not different enough to uh to worry about that the changes are yes not substantial enough there a dog out he’s hiding a little bit I reckon he’s going to we on the far think show go on mate go on have a crack it he might as well claim it as yours might as well she H she’s not going to we on the F SLE come on have a little wonderand about good a Sheba it’s a Shea dog but it is also I think it’s a she dog oh but must be a bit frustrating OB it’s got some shelter over there I’m sure it has doesn’t look too it’s not it’s not puffing and puffing too much dog awareness uh this was Da Back and sodol so sodol ended up well well off on the inside for the looks of things plowing through the oh o o that’s in the dip Crest over on the far side gone on the inside after turn two it’s been a turbulent weekend for sodol on his lights debut and he’s done well actually impr with his yeah semi-final two olivon munier Beret halg and AA Toral I think this is the beside from the fact there’s five cars it’s a slightly weaker semi I think you’d have to uh Allison and mun really should go through here mun in was in P4 in the standings yesterday I don’t know where they are obviously after qualifying uh here we go actually yeah so olivon overtook mun in the standings yesterday joh some bad news no okay go on yeah what that’s right tell me going we’re about to go what’s the bad news we’re fresh out of paper oh totally yeah uh put me in the upside down mate print them on the back think about that I think you’ll be massively confused oh jump start there is a there is a part chance to that J start just going have a seat for a minute a little sip of my tea while I sort this out oh that’s the sound of an old man sitting down I’ll uh I’ll save you the te- slurping noise the thumbs up guy we’re being told uh this guy’s known as is that the case kala really it’s been a long weekend I think K’s making stuff up as he goes along now there’s the proof olivon and mun clean at least off the start olivon into the lead mun will slot in behind and how they’re not going to Joker early are they stranger things have happened but I think it’s unlikely burger also arguably the the third quickest of this set so uh omun a bit slow out of the first of the hairpins what’s happening in the background of either of the H or E to pair Joker no they haven’t so that’s going to keep the Joker strategy a bit locked for the next lap if they stay near enough slow out of the corner Eda looks to the inside oh not there AA she going to spin in the background I think she might have done she certainly had a big old tank slapper she’s held on to it though fair play nice one look at the look at the rubber in that final open hair pin now well tightening hair pin that’s a fast corner to be sticking the nose up the inside isn’t it you you’ve got to be pretty brave munier doing well as his brother Damen just explained it’s hard coming to these tracks as we talk about often from the French championship’ be brilliant if Damen came to eser ring with the with the polo do you think he would yeah yeah let’s go is he doing French again this year yeah how’s he getting on all right yeah I mean it’s it’s tough isn’t it he’s got an Olds spec car and there’s a lot of Top Class Machinery in the French Championship you know former grx hind eyes and perso works persos and pki occasionally with the Audi and so you know the levels is it you think it’s the highest level at the minute in in terms of a National Championship and Super Car specification yeah has been for for a long time a very long time and talent yeah the talent’s right up there I think you you see that when those drivers then come and compete in the European Championship as well Dave Jan won the title last year pretty convincingly in a in a grx hyai he’s in esm sports scod this year in uh being run by his own team you do see that those French drivers are specialists in France and when they come outside it’s it’s harder for them that’s what that’s exactly what he saying about his brother wasn’t it is there certain bits he’s not getting right what he said he needs soberg on the loose christofferson on the ti I thought that was lovely but I think Julian’s relatively experienced as well I mean the super experience when they come across it takes a bit of time to adapt but they’ve got the core ability and it’s uh just a case of honing those skills I think G Damian mun turned up here it’s a it’s a 2016 um Christoff some Polo he’s got so with with the updates so I think he’d be uh what given the field this weekend he’ be right at the front in open four-wheel drive it’s interesting isn’t it that French driv are starting to explore it as an option it’s almost like I want to try something else because you know get out of the the French Champion is brilliant not knocking it at all but you know the problem is that the French championship for anyone lucky enough to go to French Championship events and and have been in the last couple of years is it’s so commercially strong they’ve got real sponsors they’ve all got big Hospitality warnings there’s a lot of Goodwill they’re Mass 10,000 people at the events there’s there’s a lot of corporate activation and it’s hard to get that support to leave the region and the country so I can understand why people don’t do it there is there’s an element of that being a problem with um with European drivers going to you know going to America and American drivers coming to Europe you know your sponsors tend to be sponsors from your side of the pond how just killed a bug on himself and I think he’s hits himself even harder than he hits me but he got the bug got the job done olivon comes from the Joker back into the lead relatively uh uneventful semi-final here mun is P2 and it’s Eric heet who is going to come through be get uh yeserday calls with the win first win and we’ll be delighted I’m sure to make it through to the final but olivon goes through to join the front row with C Anon row two will be Anderson and mun and Row three will be darak and berett [Music] [Music] to [Music] [Music] yo car’s coming back from the semi-finals we’re having fun hope you are as well get in touch on YouTube how anything interesting people chatting about the uh French Championship yeah someone King carrot says French Eric doesn’t have proper gravel that’s why they struggle on Scandinavian circuits that’s fair it’s also the undulation as well most of the French tracks are pretty uh are pretty flat and don’t have the the camber Corner some of them do there’s loads of comments I’m uh all right lot people chatting about the Formula One V staffan and Norris have fired each other off quite entertaining good that liven things up a bit was it I like that as well cuz Norris is starting to pressure us to happen a bit more often and and if you are in that champ it’s been pretty that’s fous doesn’t it it’s been it’s been close now the McLaren’s quicker you remember the old shacker thing of oh shacker so everyone would get out of the way and he was yeah he would take a dive at anyone and you you you you gain a Fear Factor which helps christopherson’s probably got you know it’s Christopherson or exam if they’re right behind you oh and foran’s got that and if if noros is going to go I’ll have a crack at you yeah yeah it just keeps it interested not anti foren he’s he’s obviously a brilliant driver but um we are a bit anti-d domination we it can get a bit dull hey mate um it can get a bit dull so yeah good any any quality racing is always great in our opinion right we are going to have a little throwback to 2016 in arva where reporter yonas Kuser had a lovely long chat with Matt Omen we’ve spoken to you a lot about Matt Omen every season and you’re going to hear a bit more about him now it’s in Swedish but with English sub titles as well so enjoy this little interview with Matt San from 2016 in [Music] [Music] AA foree for [Music] [Music] that’s new Direct [Music] fore i% [Music] speeech [Music] for okay that we ankled no start start oh for speech after forer for that speee [Music] [Music] fix the m he that’s absolutely brilliant isn’t it I think when you look at it we’ve seen the car so many times when you see someone able-bodied 95% disabled I feel quite emotional just watching the video and then you see somebody able bodied trying to drive it and it it it obviously clearly was incredibly difficult we owners you think about how the dexterity that it takes to throw a car around at high speed and feel what it’s doing and hold it on the limit I think it’s unbelievable I think it’s another great Insight unbelievable insight into Matts as a person because I’ve chatted to mats many many times over the years but he’s not he’s classic uh second language English speaker who’s not confident with the English who much rather speak for a translator which is totally fine you never get get someone with it but he’s he obviously enjoyed that process and he’s like nothing bad can go what can go wrong like I’d be Terri then nearly got run over by his own car because he’s just he loves the the process and what he’s doing so much it it it it doesn’t matter so much it’s uh yeah he’s um a really really remarkable guy is I just that’s a lovely VT you got is yeah and that’s a car that Martin races today it is yeah brilliant which which shows how adaptable mat system is it’s been in the the Volvo S40 the full Fiesta now in a couple different Audi so he’s evolved that system it’ll be very different now to how it was the basic concept with a cradle is the same yeah but they’ they’ve brought on a lot and I think the Cradle now is shorter I might be wrong but if you looked it was hard for Yas to get it down here you trying to get that full rotation that’s when we said yesterday it certain movements are hard for Matts to catch and that’s because winding the lock on is not BOS BOS you know and if as an Able Body driver you use fixed inputs in racing as much as you can so from here to here you don’t take your hands off and then after that you can but you’ve got a fast rack you don’t necessarily need to but trying to do that Movement Like This is much the development is in the cradle that his right his right arms in because so much that controls so much of what’s going on and yor Christof and the JC team in uh the latter years the car was run by JC there and have also put a huge amount of work together with Matt and ‘s Motorsport to to create this incredible system and uh let’s hope he has a good afternoon today brilliant one Absolut Legend now of course he’s not the only he lives literally I think they said 5 minutes that way didn’t they last night work’s walking distance from from here so yeah um very very close indeed to this track but of course he’s not the only Ratt across driver from northern Sweden now me and Hal are not Swedish so some of this might need some explaining I think we did we’ll see how Peter’s edited it uh we had a wild idea to challenge the drivers in in some very Swedish ways along with a bit of rally cross as well so hope you enjoy this and we’ll be back shortly for the finals from round six of rally X here in Northern Sweden Alpin enjoy right we’ve come out into a field well it’s actually an Airfield there’s an Airfield right there how that got signed off when the spectators right there I don’t know but we’re in Northern Sweden everything’s fine um and it’s a great place we have Victor Hansen Simon tiger and Rasmus bergren and we have the first round of a three- round challenge uh to decide who’s the best local driver Swedish person so apparently this is from a Swedish TV show Peter was trying to explain it to us and neglected to mention well we were we were giving our opinions on how it should be and he was like no no no no that’s not how it works and we were like why not he say yeah Swedish TV program so so we have no idea so then we ask these guys do you know about this Swedish TV program no idea so we’re off to a cracking start anyway this is what we’re going to do Hal hold the play up this is Hal’s role race director I gave him that role because I’m not clever enough to do anything other than the presenting and that’s arguable as well the lber challenge uh what we’re going to do is we’re going to get these guys in their paper plates to weigh out some linger berries so get some Ling berries and put them on your plate you need need 50 g 50 g of Ling berries my grandmother was great at picking picking Ling barers but not not my cup of tea yeah just put it on go on right so 54 for Rasmus bergren 38 for Simon tiger oh and 56 57 for Victor okay so uh Rasmus wins round one H so he gets 50 points like in qualifying uh P2 goes to Victor and P3 goes to Simon right okay this time 75 G Let’s Go 75 75 I love the comparison look comparing this I particular enjoy was that Victor you yours hav’t you Victor snuck some off just before he put them on the scales last minute oh Victor’s gone 70 this is like oh R was 75 he’s absolutely bang on mate you’re very good at this yes yes he is he agrees right perfect Sim’s terrible s Simon’s way off wow it’s good that it’s good that you’re good at rally cross Simon yeah okay Barry’s back in the park this is actually quite a good game do you think we could I’m enjoying it could this be an English television show do you think what it let us know in in the comments so we were going to do 100 but Peter’s changed the rules in the middle of the competition so now we want 97 97 yeah 97 G this is the last round although I think Rasmus is TQ already well depends if he fluffs it now no pressure no cuz he’s won both isn’t he finishes third now and Victor sneaks through to okay so Simon’s definitely not getting TQ okay here we go 97 put them on boys oh 93 for Simon 102 no 101 for Rasmus and 82 so Victor’s last so he gets uh 42 right I’m going I store it at 94 and R’s was at 100 so what we’re going to say is it’s a tie between Simon and Rasmus for that one so 50 each well that does not how it works I don’t care that’s I’m in charge watch you’re the r time first you’re the race director this who set time first I should be Simon so Simon gets the 50 point Simon’s 7 50 yeah all right Simon gets the 50 Ras gets 45 who’s the top qualifier in this hang on we not going to have to edit it hurry up what 2 42 God Rasmus Bergin is the TQ P2 I’m pretty sure is going to go to Victor and Simon is in third even I can do math that quickly that’s it on to the next challenge the challeng okay Challenge number two how bring in the tools please first of all we have a piece of Timber stick it on there for me thank you sir and you oh you have to beat each other until one of you is unconscious oh no how bring the other thing in this looks infinitely more dangerous this we’ve that is spectacular isn’t it this is the tetanus sore so if you cut yourself you’re definitely going to hospital so please be careful but apparently at Midsummer you play games yeah yes you do after drinking or during drinking okay and it’s always this questionable rules they have to argue on the evening after okay well the rules on this one little like Ross it does sound like Relic cross doesn’t it the rules on this one I’m going to decide is the fastest person to S through the piece of wood is that the one I’ll get my stop how’s going to get the stopwatch out ready race go oh my God let me hold this end for you I can help I can this is a new [Music] rule I I don’t know how long we have for this piece go on Rasmus go on go on Rasmus here hold it hold it hold it there you go it’s a team effort okay mind your hand please mind your hand on the first go ready let’s go oh she making me [Music] nervous Peter this is the worst TI here ever I’m incredibly nervous it’s what it’s all about yeah so look at Simon Simon’s expecting to see where the knots are and he thinks that he’ll be able to look at that that’s the first time I see he’s walking the track mind your hand go so so Simon’s taking the uh the RPM approach to this Simon’s approach to most things is more power yeah that’s a good point he just wants more power going for it be set for the fastest times I’m trying to hold on here to help he’s getting there now the RPM’s coming up the RPM’s coming oh no he’s made a mistake on the final lap is he going to do it the time’s gone no oh what was it 1.5 okay who so who wins Victor right so Victor wins there so points on that jez I nearly fell over right now we’re going to go and do something that actually relates to Motorsport we’ll see you in the paddock the tire change challenge okay it’s time for Q3 Simon is at the back of the pack at the minutes he needs a good result here tactic Simon you nearly did the front then you changed your mind why uh he’s just to get it on the back not steering there we go so this is the wheel change challenge he’s got to take the wheel nuts off put the wheel on the floor put it back on again how face down on the floor the wheel has to be why just completely you done back up again oh God he’s so pedantic right okay he’s the race director yeah like that yeah it’s fine okay right here we go help to race go this is impressive it is impressive launch he’s not lose the wheel nuts though that last one didn’t quite come off okay he’s going to pull the wheel off a okay down on the ground perfect yeah we’ll take that back on again he’s trying to line up it’s a five lug wheel uh the studs are captive in the in the hub oh he’s just going straight on the formula one star with the N he’s not worried about cross threading it time’s ticking by he’s a 30.1 at the minute 31 going up come on now and he’s on 36.3 yes mate right okay so this time it is Rasmus Bergin’s turn to go Howley ready with the clock not yet mate he’s not ready to race it’s a long hold go so it’s also five studs for rasmas same knock gun I notice as Simon down on the floor yeah perfect short starts on this spaces actually there are spaces in there they’ve come off slightly is he going to put them on with the fingers first of all he’s just going to Chuck them straight in the gun little bit more careful yeah I like that he’s doing well here Simon fumbled it coming off 27 seconds oh he could do this he could do this he needs to push push push on the final lap get that last KN in and then put the gun down there we go done yes 34.6 is he quicker quicker so far oh he’s he’s in the lead yes okay so Victor is our current leader hell correct after the first two qualifying sessions he’s had to of Rasmus and Rasmus is leading at the minute in this so so far so he’s this going to come down if if Victor wins this he’s the TQ yeah he gets beaten by Simon and Ras then he’s going to be second right so so okay right you’re going to need to have the math ready immediately that we finish all right Victor’s gone off I think he’s probably designing some sort of a nut gun which can do all five at the same time which nut gun so they are discussing he’s taken the same nut gun he’s using the fuel branded nut gun oh he’s gone back he’s gone back it’s a last minute decision he comes out he’s got two nut guns but he’s only got one with a okay here we go I thought he was going to go for dewal but he’s gone for fuel here we go okay little bit of a stretch from Victor this is unprecedented how are you ready Victor are you ready Hal ready to race go oh this is a strong start that that first knot didn’t quite come off okay he’s got them all off now on very similar in the first sector okay back on again lines up the five STS here we go this is good this could be a TQ run if he wins this then he is the overall win he’s got to be at 34.6 he’s got two whe nuts to go he’s coming into the last corner with a big lead Victory hand fumbled it Li take gun down and he wins Victor Hansson takes the three qualifying challenge thing with linger Berry’s word on a wheel we have no idea what’s going on cuz we’re not Swedish but that was brilliant well I hope you’ve enjoyed that I can’t just point out you don’t get this kind of quality content with Formula 1 so that’s I’m sure why you’re chining in race direct to H Rouge P3 please P3 Mr Simon tiger Simon ladies and gentlemen woo yeah Victor yeah see there everyone’s apping boo silence not that’s not the step he likes to be on luckily because he’s about 8 ft tall he’s still going to be above everybody else uh P2 please H Mr rasb Rasmus Burg wo yeah rmus you Legend he’s nearly as tall as Peter and the winner is obviously Victor Hansson Victor Hansson wo you let that’s a big step is he going to go around the back oh he just goes for it ladies and gentlemen the podium for the first ever uh rally X kind of qualifying thing Swedish Thing Swedish Thing there you go o Eric’s just left he stayed and watched the whole thing with us congratulations uh to all three drivers for putting up with one of the maddest ideas I think we’ve ever had but actually it turned out to be great fun Peter well done on the edit made our idea there’s no way only Peter it was a good idea and it was well edited um and it was good fun so I hope you enjoyed it back to the proper competition crosscar Junior are down on the grid finals to come here from round six so let’s get cracking with some racing so hampus hrom on the front row with pet dupa Oliver suy in the 19 195 on row two on the outside is Carl fand and the back row is Alex Ana and Jonas neelson [Music] Sol got great launch there from the second row but the gap’s going to close pretty quickly and actually’s been beaten byland as well asland the black car trying to look for an outside line hagstrom goes inside P ends up out in the slippery star brilliantly judged by hrom I think Sand’s going to go through toland over the press sideways they’re all running a bit deeper than they thought it is more slippery than they thought in the background that’s a great path two places up I think it’s Nils no not Nelson who is it that made the two Place pass in the back of the pack I was looking the front of the pack Andrew because Sixth and then back up to Fourth sorry yeah but Hagman lost the lead in the first Corner through the uh the left hander then through the right got back up the inside and then the top three were all so out of shape Carls fedin centered up the inside hrom did a great damage limitation job there to get back to the front a bit disappointed for p because he’d done everything right and like you say oliv a Sol climbing the order SOL SOL started with what I thought was a good start but he was beaten by sped and then obviously went backwards while we were looking at the front three and came from sixth to fourth in that corner brilliant job F and jok could I think because they had but I think because he had no alternative being stucked up tucked up behind stucked up behind you the same sort of thing it’s a new word it’s fine he was stocked but now it’s not really going to help him at all is it because d there at the back fighting in the traffic behind Nelson at the moment not really going to help him out and T’s got Joker in the background yeah he needs to needs to get this done and quickly to uh be fighting ahead’s not got the pace here it looks like to me cuz uh oh relatively speaking he’s absolutely brilliant he’s an amazing young man at driving he really is but compared to uh cars front and back normally you’d expect solid to stretch away from these guys and get bit closer to the leading two Pirro is close to hagstrom through the middle part of the lap hagstrom so strong in this early phase and the final Corners patient in that right-hander downhill it is so steep downhill as you come through the corner as well hagstrom through the left P still there what’s the gaps like so P’s five back it’s a further 2.1 to suly but suly is only 1.2 ahead of nson neelson hasn’t jokerland so spand at the minute would get suly when suly goes Joker cuz he’s only 1.6 off the back of suly oh su’s pushing hard through there look fedin cannot find a way past nson though and nilson doesn’t have to go as you said how you didn’t really have a choice that he haded to Joker early cuz he got marked in turn one unfortun it just hasn’t worked out I mean if you can get back to the to the podium from four on the grid that’ll be uh a good job done it’s been good this weekend doesn’t he’s fedin but uh into the Joker for pirat this time [Music] around oh right R the outside of suly at the merge can’t quite get it done it’s dirty there up the inside into the next right hander gets good traction out of the corner to get ahead of su who is yet to Joker this could be on you know if P can nail a couple of brilliant lap what was the Gap last time around between perir and hagstrom no I don’t believe the timing screen because it’s telling us it was five but he just Joker so it is it is right but he’s lost bit of time in that battle he’s now 3.4 off so I think hackrom should respond here just go now it’s the final lap he’s got to of course he has yeah in he goes so hagstrom into the Joker up and over the crest this should be nicely done suly though in that Podium position I think will lose out to Sedin but it is 1.6 he might hold on in the background Sedin comes in where’s suy and he does sped gets him spin holds it on the inside line as well how oh now Su looks up the inside to try and get through half spin fedin versus Sol it’s a drag race on the dirt but F holds on I think that’s fair as well considering solid game a little clatter on the way in but he sent it in to to have the clatter sideways I think that’s just sort of fair enough is good effort good effort hackrom then takes the win here absolutely brilliant drive it is hackrom second win in a row his third win of the Season he has never been lower than second all year long and that is why he leads the championship P2 for who pulls alongside hom for a thumbs up and P3 goes to kl’s fand love that look going alongside each other fish pumping and waving at each other good stuff [Music] there donuts going on out there somewhere aren’t there we can hear revs that’s [Music] [Applause] [Music] it so I know you’ve got a very tired brain Andrew as we watch H elated with that result but you’re about to have some double-sided grits on your paperwork oh really mate tried to hand it to me the right way up will you this this could go wrong Matt needs a cross hang on a minute hang on a minute wrong event [Music] yeah Sedin didn’t have to Joker then actually I was I was slightly wrong in the in the start of the race but I think ultimately it it worked out not sure he had the ultimate Pace to beat hrom here PIR was uh was very good and I think had PIR not lost that time in the battle with Solly mid race could have been a different story out [Music] front oh thanks mate wow that’s not even a double side is it that’s two grits on the same side which one do I cross out this one this one in a minute so we’ll start with this one oh wow we’ve got a number one next to this one and a number two next to that one I like this is good work though how Ridge hampus hrom on 169 points now has a 15-point lead over Oliver suly when they came here it was three points the other way so hackrom has overturned here what through 15 plus 18 points in one weekend that’s a brilliant performance but you can see everybody else is a fairway back par toin has actually gone in front of Ni kinan but it is a two-way title scrap with four rounds to go between suly and hstr suly needs to fire back in Denmark two event back to back as well drop score H I think we’ll figure that out later one drop score but not from the last event or not the last round can’t remember have to check yeah can’t remember normally don’t worry about that for a while there was a few we won’t worry about it in Denmark either just stress ourselves out with that in Germany okay this should be an absolutely brilliant final we do say that often and then something happens in turn one and spoils it let’s hope it doesn’t happen this time round romet cner on the pole with senson IG mad yugar Hume and hukah and they’re a way already down towards this first corner it’s a brilliant start by spanson CA drops into P2 yugar trying to come through but he’s going to end up Fifth if he’s not careful he is fifth right now hum’s inside him look hokar makes up two positions sneaks up the inside there in both Hume and yugar to go up into fourth place and uh it’s e mer out I think imp3 yes it is great move by hookah to slot up the inside senson did everything right in the first corner to get into that position oh he M does the wheelie out of the second of the hair pins clipping that curb on the inside wh lost out badly in those first couple of corners but what a result it would be for Elias Fenson after the drama of yesterday standing here in the commentary box up on two wheels you nearly did an omen on him there mate that was the same as me yesterday proper bicycling from ellias senson in the lead but I completely agree I really want to see the kid win this we’re not supposed to be bi but there are occasions where somebody deserves it and he had a shocker of a day yesterday a terrifying day yeah well you could smell this his his sing di R an eyelashes couldn’t you when he was standing here in the comment box minutes after getting out of the car so it would be a fantastic result for him to get this done Thomas D merer though today has been absolutely on it goes into the Joker this time around pops out behind hook car who is yet the Joker there’s a good enough Gap there to get the hammer down and H car is a pretty handy operator as well so won’t be holding it wor start up at all at least in the next few Corners with the rear three having Joker already let’s see the intervals as they come over the start Finish Line you’re looking at uh e merad in the red and blue there and yeah with you guard you go up to P you guys up to P4 I think no maybe not it’s not it’s see M P4 you guys in P5 so mer the jok going to came out just behind H car he’s in the window but not being held off at all we let anyone jok at this time around I think cera’s gone no he hasn’t so cerer stays out with the pace Squad and how amazing lap by Martin yugar 460 was that last lap that’s some half a second quicker than anyone else is going right now and that’s right up there with the fastest laps I don’t know what the fastest lap of the weekend has been but the track must be near its quickest now well red in the loose is night and smooth hasn’t been watered for a little while yeah it will be absolutely rapid won’t it but you got not able to close that tiny little Gap up Dr mer out in front and this is where the Joker strategy is so different isn’t it cuz he M Joker into the traffic but because the traffic is oh so rapid is not holding him up at all Turners going with senson what would it mean to the PACE Squad to get a victory after the work they’re putting in he’s going to joke you can tell by the attitude of the car in over the crest where’s the merge going to be on the left hand side there’s H car there’s in mer out as well nicely done Lads nicely done M using the uh the jump line on the inside of the curvs love seeing that bage was was doing that a treat yesterday wasn’t he yeah and I think it’s totally on isn’t it cuz you don’t really gain anything from doing it in fact if you you might lose a bit by unsettling the car so uh if you don’t to do it then they’ got to make the curb so you can’t drive over them it’s as simple as that or you move the ballards out into the middle of the curb well they made these curbs in the late 80s didn’t they so they weren’t thinking of it at that time they weren’t thinking of incredible foot long suspension travel on a on a cross car were they at the time this is a great little scrap here between hook car and turna oh H car sended in turn clip wi in no to he’s been so fast this weekend he’s not going to be on the podium this afternoon shock for him and lots of avoidance in the background as well how yugar went out wide this has completely turned the order on its head who can’t has a joker spon’s gone joker out front will be well clear nowed on this lap senson leading who’s speed to then he you guys so you guys’s done a stellar job to get back up soon just on the fastest lap of the race last time around svenson’s going to take it’s an absolutely brilliant Redemption story ended yesterday in flames and wins today and he’ll lead the championship as well M out yesterday’s win against P2 going to keep him right in contention as well and you got P3 after a little bit of Carnage on the final lap of the race it’s been putting out a fair few Flames out of the rear as well hasn’t it look how happy is punching the air in the car goggles off will we see some uh give me a bit of Goosebumps there actually it cuz that far yesterday was not pleasant it was yeah he had the damage earlier on ripped the rear suspension off he’s absolutely delighted in the car I’m delighted for him really am and unlike the Juniors he probably has to do most of the work to the car himself so he’s probably unlikely to do the same kind of donuts cuz he’ll know what’s involved in repairing it the diff [Music] yeah they’re getting LED back by the quad bike great performance for me mad as well he’s done a great job today he’s been really really on it good points there wasn’t a lot of drama in the early part of the race but it came later on CNA will be absolutely gutted what’s CNA been liking he was top qualifier wasn’t he I think yeah yesterday no it was Yim I can’t rememberer today TQ today yeah turn was TQ today I was thinking of yesterday so he will be rather disappointed to so H car drops it there Andrew he’s pulled a massive look how much air they’re carrying it’s not H’s fault he’s dropped it look at yugar too and and as well in the background as Hume isn’t it so yugar and humor both had to drive through the ditch and dropped a ton of time but it’s absolutely not anybody’s fault it’s uh yes hook car dropping it on his own and Z unfortunately because the commitment so high just had nowhere to go senson wins 610 over 4 minutes for five laps CH to seek Merc d and Martin [Music] yugar so ellias spon does lead the standings on 137 points and he came here in P2 Five Points behind Bings he now leads Bings by 14 but e merad has jumped up from uh P3 into P2 on 131 just six points back cner was in P5 and he’s now in P4 and you’d have to say he’s not out of the battle there’s 30 points in it you on 103 drops from fourth to fifth Alex Hume is yeah stays in sixth place so starting to look like the top five pulling out a little bit of a margin when hum is quick so is H car but top three hard to gain that back when the pack so close I think drop scores will give us an idea there when someone you you forget when someone’s had a real shocker you know there’ be a shocker for them so you know Merc didn’t make the final twice yeah it’s just th those events and when you drop that score and everyone to get just that little bit closer again for [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] talking to witch here we go h off a conversations Matt zman I hope you watched that uh little VT earlier on if you didn’t you need to rewind and have a look what ledge to pinan on the inside to pinan actually how leads the standings doesn’t he in both proam and pro and uh you’re enland on row two with Martinson torren and martinov [Music] oh so we see him jump start for slot four but again that’s possibly not likely slot four has been the issue for most of the day hasn’t it yeah one it was one yesterday wasn’t it I imagine they must have moved whatever was triggering one to four yesterday or the other way around but the trouble is you don’t know what’s going on with for I say it was most of the day but because you’re a five wide grid you don’t know until semi-finals that it’s a ah yes course problemo [Music] so this final is now to give them a chance to call off for the pro final which will be the last one of course or the overall final which is why you’re not seeing OE Erikson in this one so ready to race comes [Music] on Omen with a great start enland know’s got alongside and barges his way through Martin enland got a banger from Road two gives a little bit of contact to Omen om’s got a better traction here on the exit will get back alongside him on the run down the hill he gives it back in the door have some of that if you can do it I can too so Omen forces his way back through enland now under pressure from behind from Philip Martinson martinson’s going to go Joker but toin the championship leader Leads Here toin made a brilliant launch didn’t he just slightly slow on the reaction ran Deep In The Hairpin oh ens all over the back in the car that we just saw in the VT that used to Matt ens in Mark 7 specification with his amazing hand control system but toan who leads both championships coming into today’s event is uh doing a good job up front and fair play to martinov who has been relatively nowhere compared to this field so far this weekend he getting right in the mix between trr and Mar Sun by Omen there just got a little bit sideways H and enland was very sideways in the previous corner enland I surely I thought would go Joker big a risk at the moment because the other three is still behind only Philip Martinson has Joker enland so close to the rear the torr’s gone so torren comes out behind there’s going to be a little trained behind martinov Now isn’t there now I go 100% now next yeah so who i’ s Matt because that’s exactly what y’ will know that though won’t he send him and then you will if he if enland commits to go Joker he’ll lose time on the way in thinking that matx won’t go the only thing with with here is I think you you arly don’t lose so much time certainly in a super car because if you get that rotation done and he’s gapped him here hasn’t he Omen over enland if you get the rotation done you can change your mind by keeping it in the throttle and open the steering back up Omen is not going to go yeah right decision so enland now’s going to try and get out in front of martinos martinos was 2.8 off the back of him and it’s easyy mat has made a mistake on the gra on the inside he’s destroyed the light thing with jol destroyed twice already this weekend the rear Arch is completely gone from enland card and where that happened martinov drives through the ditch uh wow all changes in an instant doesn’t it so Omen right back on the rear of enland as well now this is only playing into uh toin to’s hands who is checked out up the road a pine and his 5.6 seconds down the road Omen now alongside enland enland makes another mistake and Omen gets through but Omen hasn’t Joker they might wait now until the final lap I think I would just try and get he’s going to go wide he can’t go in because en’s up the inside blocking the Joker entry what I meant before was you can get so much rotation done in a super car where you can change your mind by getting harder in the front or just coming out of it a bit let rotate around a bit more so that corner is actually nice to set set up for the joker well you don’t lose too much if you do have to make your decision change got you’s wild isn’t he on the that he’s really and that’s the quickest corner on the circuit too he’s not scared is he enen needs to be wary care Wy here sorry to stay close to Omen because one little mistake and giving Omen the Gap will mean Omen can get in and out of the Joker ahead well he almost ran over his own rear quarter there that would have been uh well it’s probably broken Anyway by now isn’t it on the last La then to pan leading by a long way manen’s going to go Joker and uh toan is already clearly look at look how far in front he is as voo raises the altitude a bit that’s a good sign of what the Gap is he’s had to fly higher to see him down the road few mistakes from and enland played into the hands of yni toine and this 15-year-old he’s having an absolute fly out he really is doing a great job this year going to take the win it’s his second third win in a row in fact for toine and he won the second event in kovala he won the first event here yesterday and he wins again today so three wins in a row leted the standings When we arrive and we’ll lead them when we leave It’s the proam final done to fin him with six times quicker on his best lap than anybody else in that race untroubled out front you can always tell a a good race run from uh a high power Bross car when it’s perfectly clean at the end of the race Omen made a a poor start didn’t he and that’s really what qu compromised him enan forceful off the line but nothing on toward does he lose his quarter here now must have been later in the race I was thinking where great racing from mats here to force his way back up the inside nothing wrong with that at all no no and to be fair enm was forceful off the line and Omen was just as good racing isn’t it where does the quarter come off I think it’s already gone at this stage so that’s Omen driving straight through that o thought he’d missed it yesterday I thought I missed it but he hadn’t he destroyed it so three times that’s been knocked [Music] down oh oh that is Martinson Martinson made the pro final yeah he had made it in sixth because we thought he might not have done with that retirement and then who is it that will go in if he can’t take the start well there was some discussion about not taking the not filling the grid this year right in the Pro class if you don’t make it from the am to the pro yni to pin and leading the standings by 10 points from Martin enland let’s have a look and see what the Gap was when we came here it was four points so he’s uh he’s really extended that and they are now you know almost a whole event clear of Philip Martinson and Matt Omen and Philip torren there yens V not here this weekend what was he doing how a crosscar inois there go so to pinan with the lead in the open four Drive am standings and as we did say he also has the lead in uh the pro standings at the minute can he hold on to that later on today look at that fair play that is getting stuff done handy repair work p Tom we saw some track maintenance uh this weekend but our favorite was ULU actually wasn’t it it was for track maintenance the man in the Digger and the pole and the and the and the Bard and the rocks that nobody would get to but fr’s got two I think if I remember correctly 50 me was like being on the moon wasn’t it yeah hello yeah switch it on mate check it can you put it on go on have a look it’s taking some abuse that light this weekend hasn’t it yeah it has if you made those lights you’d want to take this footage and make a little Sizzle for go on social to show the quality of your product because that has hit 600 break super car smack on the ground been nailed it’s been nailed many times okay Simon tiger and Adam Omen on the front row row two is gabrielson and Westman Row three is Victor Johansson and Kenneth Kong find my standings for this I have no idea where they are so I might just sack it and we’ll get the graphic afterwards you got yours are nicely organized Hal yes what’s the gap between tiger and your Hanson at the minute uh 124 to 199 so 23 points so 99 yeah sure okay so yeah from the back it’s going to be tough for your Hansen so tiger just wants to get all that power down and he does look oh behind him Westman up the inside of omen that will push them wide gabrielson might be able to capitalize on that at least on omen Omen loses two places three places might lose out to Kenneth Kong here as well and does so that is a shock of Roman from the front row at your home track taking a taxi to the uh to the outside having been uh forcefully maneuvered in the first corner but absolutely nothing on to I don’t think from L Westman sinking the car at the inside all fairing Love and War but Simon tiger is exemp C in this category isn’t he he’s the only Christophers of open two wheel drive and uh yeah driving away out front but he hasn’t had the pace Advantage as we C many times this weekend compared to normal and that’s largely because there isn’t enough space for him to get the power down he made me laugh earlier in all the challenges when it was all going wrong and he rode alongside us on his bike quietly didn’t he goes I have to let them win sometimes and then just rode off his came open oh now he’s getting challenged for West’s two sideways gabrielson goes through I was about to say he’s not going to be allowed to win today either Westman fights back on gabson up the inside into the hairpin and so did Victor Hanson coming through as well well vict Hansson now going to go Joker that’s a good decision he’s alongside great decision you compromised the driver you’re fighting and then getting an he loses out so they’re closer than we thought but they’ve all lost time in that battle where Westman lost the time trying to overtake the leader if you think gabrielson was alongside Johansson and there was Westman just in front H they’re all in danger here from Kong and Omen Omen with that shocking first lap he’s he’s coming back at them here Kong was on the podium in the opening round in the Sprint format at TI but in an actual rallycross final so far westman’s got some great Pace hasn’t he now back onto the rear of Tiger has really gapped gabrielson I think K might have a bit of an issue here because the two behind are all over the back of him well it’s helping everybody out hals they’re now 4.4 off the backat Lucas gabrielson though he’s only 1.3 up the road gabri jok gabrielson trying to cover off Kong but I think Kong will get there first unless that issu is too bad Gabriels Tri around the outside go on left get stuck in well held on that position could have lost way more than that slots in for a good result poor old Victor Hansson not having a great time and come on pictor get the engine sorted for Denmark let’s have a race shall we so Simon tiger and uh lenus West have a joke westman’s right with him how the tiger is under massive pressure at the front hopefully we can see that now yes we can Westman lost all of that time and is now right back on the rear of the Local Hero as tiger maybe used the tires how like he did before West gets in the rear quarter takes a little bit the orange BMW off Tiger has nailed it onto the inside left rear puncture tiger the T oh Your Hands Spa in the background look at vgo picking that up he’s picked that up with fpv goggles on that is incredible so into from the merge comes uh oh this might be West westman’s in front look of Kong but we’re looking at what the Gap was to Tiger this might be another fictitious puncture call from me but there’s a reason why Tiger’s not so quick and I can’t see on the monitor if it it looked to me around The Hairpin oh no off Locks it all up goes up at the end of the straight he’s on the bank that’s game over for Westman everything’s going on here so Tiger’s lost his main competitor and the Gap back now is 4.4 Simon Tiger has been handed aive line [Music] here there he goes so Tiger’s got to take the Joker lap now Hal you thought he might be carrying some sort of damage on the car maybe the rear left puncture I thought the rear left I think’s no maybe it’s not no it’s just where the side look very very low in that hairin but it does look low on this car doesn’t it it’s a Whitey thing to carry as is his reputation because he’s had four wins already this season including one yesterday he is the championship leader he was the champion of course last year and the first year Victory Hans beat him in year two but Simon tiger is coming through here to take a double victory at his kind of home track in Northern Sweden at least one of the ones that’s close to hold sits the car on the limiter after he crosses the line sounds like there’s a firework display going off I thought with the Finish Line yeah that was Bonk that made me jump yeah good effort Simon tiger double win in Sweden can we see the other side of Tiger’s Under Pressure [Music] there no got a puncture was wrong again that’s fine mate that car seen some action this weekend doesn’t it look at the state of it on the side yeah you win some you lose some lenus Westman with the fastest lap of the race a 477 Tiger’s best lap was a 482 just didn’t have the ultimate Pace but had had the lead the ultimate result had the lead come on time that’s just a weapon isn’t it it’s ridiculous brilliant I’d love to see that out of context now that we’ve got used to seeing it in this category and and of course we want him to keep doing rally x two drive but I’d love to see him go and do I don’t know supernational in the British Championship or you know something else odd maybe CZ RS or something like that where he’s an unknown and just see how competitive it would be against the established order somewhere else [Music] westman’s been a star this weekend as well a great return hopefully that’s inspired him to come and maybe do the final couple of weekends D in Central Europe really pressured tiger for much of the race this was the real opportunity to get up the inside just bailed and got out of shap Gabon capitalized viory Hansen also got stuck in and then again Westman all over the back of tiger there’s Victor’s spin Victor’s obviously carrying some sort of uh Gremlins and this is what happened at the bottom of the hill just lock the rears didn’t he and over there was a lot of smoke mechanical yeah well maybe from the rear I wonder if something broken locked up the rear but looked like Bonet smoked and it want he’d stop but of course he’s pared on a load of weed isn’t he so uh he’s still smoking the rear the rear is rolling though cuz he’s driving is he he’s driving yeah and that’s the advantageousness nature of these massive recovery machines the big old Volvo there you can put the bed up in the bank touch the winch and drag it [Music] on stay with us two finals to go Supercar lights and Supercar Pro Simon tiger leads on 148 points wow so he came here to 16 points in front hell have you got a calculator 148 – 14 what’s that 3 24 34 34 34 what a me 34o lead he’s more than doubled his lead wow double win double lead double rainbow you ever seen that social clip no double rain bow to gets all [Music] excited okay superc car lights yesterday’s winner was Eric Berget which was pretty unexpected because these uh well not the front row in fact Casper Jansen on road to and Lucas Anderson came together and and suffered damage Simon olivon Simon didn’t make it to the final I think did he h if I remember correctly but either way the three Usual Suspects are here in the three top qualifying positions there’s Tobias dback is’s there with juliia munier and Eric get so Eric Berget is in Eric Berget I’m hoping for a good clean sensible fight between these three on a bit of door banging but let’s have a proper race past turn two please Lads oh shocking start for Casper Jansen janson’s dropped back to P5 off the line lucky got a good reaction time they just either go anywhere or have to dip the clutch over a huge crash roof panels off doors are off screens out red flag for sure there it is massive shot for Simon olison and that car has shed all its panels he’ll be okay I’m sure but it’s still that’s that’s a violent one wow Lucas Anderson I was I was uh when we watched the start of a race and obviously you’re you’re the league commentator so you talk about the action I’m holding and I’m analyzing and thinking about not what I’m going to say but what I’m thinking often you you look for the other stuff don’t you well I was I was watching the front row and and the attitude of Anderson’s car there is Simon fantastic to see him out and helping roll it back over the very modular of the lights cars so the the roof is is a part that that will come off but what I was watching was Lucas Anderson and the attitude that he had in the car coming in he really pitched it in early now there’s nothing wrong with that at all but what it meant was that they went side by side through the exit and Simon ran that little bit wide kept his foot in dug into that loose gravel on the outside and over she went not suggesting that’s Lucas’s Fault by means but what I mean is they were they were both leaving the corner yeah slightly sideways side no I was going to say the cage looks damaged but I don’t think it is actually I think it’s just the way the cage comes up to a peak in the middle and also you can see the the firewall which separates the engine in the rear from the driver compartment so I think potentially the cage been damage in the lights car is not the end of the world a lot work mod yeah it’s all modular you just buy another one and bolt it in that we’ve seen the cages in lights car be changed overnight at events before which is a massive but they did that on fc1 didn’t they after the huge Shan at ERX took apart uh whose car was they took apart yeah I’m trying to think whose car was in the back it was it was a shy 11 wasn’t it it was the car that the car that D raced in and then you know they they you know they end yes how I love that detail um they ended up using the batteries that had been in the pond in back car they were more concerned about the damage from the shun to back than they were they used the batteries out of frazzy car didn’t they yeah which have been in the pond cuz they were the first ones that were tested and then FR switched to a whole different car yeah yeah but yeah the point is what we’re trying to say here is the fc1 is is modular in the same way that the lights car is whereas a super car is a um is a is a how do you want to say a road car chassis modified to have a safety cell built into it and obviously if you if you bend the uh what they called how I forgot M’s going blank off of chassis legs on the front yeah it can be it can be very difficult to get something repaired olivon right of your picture so look at the start that Anderson had made and he turns the car in really early here great trajectory runs out that little bit deep and they don’t even make contact and oliv’s just that bit wide as well two [Music] three three and a quarter you know you’ve had a big one when the wind screen goes up in the air and then lands back down on the car yeah here we go from the Drone this will be spectacular he’s just dropped it he puts a wheel in the dirt and it’s too much he doesn’t get the lucky bounce do you what olle ericon you remember Ollie stuck the wheel out there in the fc2 earlier today I said it was nearly a roll so I I went was making a tea around there and he goes mate he had he had his little baby on his lap and he goes I promise you he said you can’t go any faster through turn one than that he said that was as close to a roll as can be and unfortunately that’s what happens if you dip it in that little bit further there’s a toe in the water and there’s a foot in the water and that that was a foot I don’t know if just unlucky didn’t bounce you know in some ways if it had been higher you might bounce off it like you bounce off a bank or harder you might have bounced off it you know what I think apart from that last landing on the left rear the suspension might all be intacted on that if it hadn’t been for the roof coming off you there’s no wind screen in it is there but you’ve seen worst cars return to the track haven’t you it was olivon of course who shot the Drone down by shedding panels with a big old Chun at n a few years ago it was lean as osland but there you go k told me that it was olivon you’re wrong Calla how dare you you’re sorry he says now oh goodness stopped talking to me hours ago did he he doesn’t talk to me much he’s been good work though Calla today mate good work to everybody back in Stockholm they’ve had a number of technical issues which uh they’ve managed to solve for you guys to continue watching at home so thank you to the whole team of Stockholm it’s it’s a bit weird not having the team together not been able to catch up of an evening but great work by you guys thank you for getting everything sorted so we can carry on playing rally cross [Music] 1,7 km apart we are from uh the guys in the truck oh how’ you find that out I just know sadly act sad act K told me did he really talking to me again probably wrong mate sorry it was it was lenus aand actually mate yeah yes there’s nothing to do with it o tell e mer had uh bit of coverage this weekend in the back of the grid there with the trailer yeah who right is that ol’s car yeah yeah mess yeah so Casper Jansen had a shocking start in that last one let’s see if he has another bad start here cuz if he does it means something technical if he doesn’t it means it wasn’t a good start that’s better that’s more like it from Casper so he’s going to want to try and get there before mun but mun’s got a good start too that’s a great stop of minia yanson is wise just rolls a little bit off the throw to start back in Le losing a bit of time but he’ll get back to munier in the breaking Zone but Lucas Anderson leads Anderson runs wide as he has done several times today Anderson gansen slots up the inside of munier lovely pass and we’re back to where we were in the semi-finals with our two championship protagonist racing nose to tail Anderson’s gone pretty sendy this weekend hasn’t he but it’s been working for him so far don’t know if it’s the quickest way but it’s definitely the most fun and it is effective for him at the moment I wondered if if Jansen might oh Janson drops a wheel on the dir he did that last time around look at the car squirreling around under the breaking with that bit of dirt on the rear tires I wonder if he maybe had a clutch problem or something cuz he what didn’t make an amazing start either time did he but clearly not affecting him and uh better second time was it the first one was shocking worship from in a long time really getting some air now aren’t they that’s where Anderson had that moment earlier on Sideways that’s impressive that’s impressive carrying the speed and the rotation through he has brilliant car control doesn’t he Lucas Anderson so darak goes Joker from P4 and comes back in in P4 nicely done Janson is all over the back of Lucas Anderson but can’t really find a way through neither of them on the podium yesterday Anderson’s actually only had two podiums held TI one and kovala four which is uh which is mad isn’t it Lucas Anderson’s had three wins but but only came here with a lead of nine points 10 points I yeah nine I think Jans sideways in the first Corner the first proper corner there’s that Crest look I mean that is that’s commit see look at that as well Jans bouncing the front right over the curves they just now know the trajectory of that blind right over the jump mun goes Joker so this is to try and cover off darack watching the background for the merge here dab back of the inside mun comes in clearly in front nice ro mun giving plenty of room on the merge as well Anderson’s managed to Gap Jansen a bit up front wonder if janson’s made bit of a mistake in the hair there that we didn’t see but this has given Anderson a little bit of breathing room the way he’s driving he’s not really looking behind is he because he’s really using all of the track at every opportunity Jansen did the fastest lap of the race last time around this time a 456 to a 46 down between Anderson andanson watch these two over the cressler over the cressler landing on the curve rotation through Straight get on the breaks turn it in again Anderson’s wider and more sideways in there and Janson gets a lovely lovely entry into the Joker lap that was very good indeed I thought for a moment Anderson might be going the way he’s rotated the car in just dropped the rear wheels into the dirt meet the Apex nice and tidy meets the Apex again in the next Corner rotating the car from one way to another when the when you’re in the zone is such a wonderful feeling I’ve been there once or twice ever but but when you’re really at one with a car you just feel like and it SS tension of your body and that and it sounds ludicrous but if you never I get it yeah I get it that’s exactly how it looks like Lucas Anderson’s driving it looks like every input he makes it’s going where he wants he’s totally in control of how much of the track is using 3.0 is the gap that’s a beautiful entry by Anderson that equals casy Anson’s entry on the previous one and he won’t need 3 seconds to get there in front of Jansen there you go easily easily done on the very last lap Lucas Anderson putting in a great performance here I’m actually enjoying seeing a slightly harder driving Anderson you he’s got that car as you said h and he’s been a bit more aggressive with it he’s coming down now to the double Apex rander at the end of the last lap for lights up here in Northern Sweden and Lucas Anderson who won the first three events in a row didn’t have such a good time yesterday or at kovala but today makes up for it with his fourth win of the Year Casper Jansen P2 that’s the third time on the second step of the podium and Julian mun gets into P3 [Music] mun second career Podium after uh getting onto the rostom in TI Lucas Anderson though his position in the points last year didn’t do justice to the season he had I think he finished fourth in the end didn’t he but uh this year it was third yeah wrong again but he was uh great good days and the bad days really compromised don’t you can see it on the when you look at the stats it’s you three wins one P3 and then everything else not good enough whereas you look at the other people around and there are very few spots which aren’t filled with a Podium whereas enland nearly came close to nearly winning the title and and only one once because he was just there or there about all always on the podium always on the podium or near to it that was the mistake by munier not even really a mistake in some ways you feel like Anderson’s mistake was bigger than mun’s but just nobody was there to capitalize on it Jansen did not need asking twice and just dispatched him immediately fantastic stuff from Jansen and Anderson it’s great to have two drivers that are of the same class at the top of this field I think Jansen will be a bit frustrated having won the Nitro cross title a couple of times and uh you know he’ll want a fight back in the last two rounds it’s going to be interesting we think all those four rounds we have four rounds inside nine days no yes nine days I would the levels higher here at the very front yeah yeah so would I yeah not no I think but that’s what I mean he’ll want to win over here he will want to win over here but the fact there are four rounds within 9 days to finish this title off and the gap between them is only 15 points and yeah we got drop scores and SS take into account it’s uh it’s going to be a great end to the season two very talented young drivers in Anderson and Jansen dback doing brilliantly in P3 Allis fors after that massive shunt munier in P5 [Music] okay super car fourwh drive Pro open whatever you want to call it we’re still calling it Supercar everything’s fine on the front row to pinan and Omen then it’s Mich Tam and Martin enland oie Erikson on the back row in the fc2 and on the outside Martinson Philip Martinson has made it to the grid martinton took a win in kovala yesterday’s Podium was Mich Tam with the win Oliver Ericson in P2 Kevin Erikson in P3 that might be a bit tougher from the back of the grid but let’s see what transpires in turn one Omen can he make up for yesterday could he take the win here in Pro he was close last time enland got a banger of a start in the AM category this time though Omen gets a good start is he inside to Pine and he gets to Pine and a nudge in the door M Tam’s there pick up the pieces Tam passes Omen in the background martinson’s trying to pass on the inside of edland omen up over the curs on the inside line it’s toin who leads at time one enland gets it to the back of omen Omen gets two nudes enland goes straight to the Joker that we haven’t seen anything of Ole Erikson Erikson’s got Joker in the background behind enland as well Omen is Ry today isn’t he went for the the lunge in the first Corner then round wi but went for fighting back up the inside of Tam down to turns three and four now he got Philip Martinson all over the back of him in the run down the hill to pinan though has really switched on this weekend hasn’t he didn’t really have the pace early on but has worked at it new car new circuit new season for him learning all the time didn’t have this sort of pace in the Finish Championship a couple of weeks ago but really is at one with the car now leading both championships coming into today and if he stays here he’s only going to have extended that margin it’s incredible really at 15 years old in a super car but the thing is now where does he go you know what do you do next if you come here and win you you win this or are trying to get past enland was slow out of the ha Martinson got past equally enland the same Erikson’s having another look at enland in the background now he goes to the inside line that’s Lovely by Erikson that is a class move that really is enland just under pressure goes a bit wider I think have something wrong with the rear cuz the car’s much more sideways than even it would be with Martin we need to watch out here what the Gap is how because I think Eric’s Within Reach of a Podium here he’s not within reach of toin toin is too far up the road it’s uh 1.9 back to T and9 back to uh Martinson Omen yeah I’d say both Martinson and omen within with Within Reach of Erikson they might joke of them now to protect their positions no Martinson doesn’t go and home and doesn’t either so now will close down I think O’s lost too much time in that fight especially with not a clear going to get toine and I think the think he can get to second E I think you get to the podium I don’t think he get P2 i’ he’s got two cars within reach if you look at the window which is not bad really after opponent gets up on two wheels at the bottom of the hill how often have we seen that usually when one of us is looking away from the this time it was you eron’s on the back of om and this could harm his chances couldn’t it because if Matt doesn’t Joker he’s going to lose out that little bit time sends the Festa into the first proper corner on this lap up front look to pin and into the haing now will he go now for insurance no he’s not getting watch for Tam Tam on the rotation doesn’t either martinson’s going to go no nobody goes they’re all going to wait for the last lap and Erikson’s going to have to see how many of them he can pick off as uh as they come out that little Burge could be interesting it could enland Dro right off the back as well so he definitely had something broken before OE passing and can’t help but think things might have been a bit different time and look at that how just runs the curve that to be fair to them they nearly all putting a wheel right out OE is using all the curve on the inside then running all the way out to the outside but to pinan is looking pretty much Unstoppable here Erikson looks like he might dropped slightly further out of the window so he’s 1.3 off the backat of omen think he might only get Omen and I thought he was going to get at least two here we go to pinan into the joker as the leader we want to see where Erikson is when they come to the merge over the top comes Tam then Martinson Erikson is he going to be the inside Martinson not quite close enough he does get Omen I think he lost too much time didn’t he in that fight with Martin enland earlier on wouldn’t have affected this man though what a drive incredible won the proam final there he’s in the proam category he won’t be allowed to go back in that next year and that’s a good thing it looks like he’s going to win both titles toyan takes another win here over the line two wins today proam and the open category Mich Tamp to after a win yesterday Martinson up on the podium which is a great result for him after maybe a tricky weekend compared to kovala good stuff well done y to pinan 15 15 we get out having a look back at the start Omen didn’t get the brilliant launch again but it was good enough to have a look up the inside of toine and that was a feral in the whe quite forcefully went right off in the first that’s what we missed yeah so we didn’t see that I think squeezed to the inside yet again wonder if that caused the double tap and any issue for enland cuz he certainly had problems later on let’s see if we can see what’s wrong when he gets massively over rotated is this where is this where and passes him yeah I think something’s broken on the left the re left what’s happened to the rear left yeah always looks like the wheel gone for a second it looked collapsed can’t really see on my Dusty monitor past us no not currently Erikson not close enough as you said how that battle just cost him a bit too much time but arguably as well the big the big moment in turn one was just it was too much yeah you you have a few moments like that and and the gap’s too big to Pine and though fantastic today double victory in both the open four Drive categories 351.5 dnf forland so maybe there is a wheel missing we’ll try and have a look when he comes back in on the scoop at the end oh sorts of drivers running through the paddock getting all terribly excited about heading to the podium yni toin and leads the standings 119 to 106 Martinson has dropped down to P3 cuz Tam has come up Marco Tam’s come up from P5 with the win yesterday to second in the standings it’s a good weekend for Tam and the gearbox Chang his team put in an allnighter actually Dy said we didn’t even get the lights on in the awning he said because at 2: a.m. the sun was shining back through the front of the awning which is pretty incredible really uh re old debut i no actually good good results for the FC 2 yesterday bit of a shame to see Kevin roll out today um you know we know it’s it’s not a superar in the same way but they had problems at TI and a lot of those have been ironed out I’ve enjoyed seeing the progress uh and I’ve enjoyed coming to a new rally cross track we hope you’ve enjoyed being here with us as well how great another great weekend with rally X are better today than yesterday yesterday there were quite a few drivers I’d like to go what are you doing no know your limits but today well re did that for us Mr Black Flag so it’s better wasn’t it yeah massively yeah the the the quality driving in the semis and finals today was was really really good um it was a pleasure to see uh how close the racing can be and and it was also a pleasure to see how fair people are being at the Joker merge we’ve seen some brilliant performances I know maybe it’s been a bit up and down compared to usual but people like Lucas Anderson cross car the fight for the top three really on a mission in open four-wheel drive yeah the list goes on hampus hag’s been stunning this weekend a bit disappointed that Simon tiger got away with it when he wasn’t actually having a great weekend but the true Champions make the best of those those difficult weekends and uh yeah Simon’s been great as well it’s been a wonderful welcome here as well the the local people here have been so grateful for for rally ex being up here and uh yeah I definitely hope we can come back also just general friendliness from local people you know we were we uh we went to most in the comedy story yesterday we went to a bar and they were like it’s 2020 to get in we’ve got a band playing we’re like oh wow is it packed they’re like yeah it will be packed there’s nobody there and then to be fair they did come later and it was lovely because everybody there’s one bar in town everybody goes there and you go to the bar and kind of a beer please mate sorry I don’t speak Swedish and they’re

local community of friendly people so now where are they headed how do you reckon home home or to the podium to the one bar the one bar it’s open on Sunday night Sunday night isn’t it so uh that by the way that’s Ole Erikson’s paddle shift off the fc2 so the development continues he said I came down to the head but he go d d and he said and it snapped off he said I looked on the floor and he said all that was left was the center I’m reaching around the wheel trying to do this and he couldn’t change gear for the rest of the lap so I’m taking that I did tell him earlier and he sort of left it here I said can have it he goes oh yeah maybe but I’m taking it h what have you got you’ve got the or something haven’t you fc1 floor what oh I caught up now use the carbon good lad I love that sh

I was there yesterday and today, and it was fricken awesome!
Regarding the Ohman 2016, Martin Enlund has the mk8 Fiesta….
Never catch these live, but absolutely love catching up with the VODs. Great racing this weekend!
Thanks for another great entertainment.
Andrew and Hal, you guys are great. It is worth its weight in gold to be able to watch the competitions even though someone like me works nights.
Mats Öhman, what a king he is!
Poor Rasmus, Simon and Viktor who got to play a bit, it's nice that they offer themselves.
Too bad Öhman didn't get a win in the Open 4wd AM Final at home.
Congratulations on the victory Tiger!
Congratulations Andersson on the victory, but I had hoped for Casper Jansson.
So sad for Öhman in the Open 4wd Pro final.
But 2 days of great racing!!!
Mats är helt fantastisk. ingen tvekan om de
Opening with a roll, then having Nitiss join to explain is what separates RallyX from all other Rallycross championships. I hope Nitrocross takes a page from the RallyX broadcast team for the upcoming season. Brilliant job from Coley, Ridge, Nitiss and the whole crew.
23:44 “Always clean and nice racing” 😂 – flashbacks from Abu Dhabi WorldRX, Nitiss
50:15 What a first lap by Ohman, such a legend
4:25:41 P1 for Viktor! Top class driver, person, team, & family.
