Ostberg won WRC2 Pro class in Sweden

WRC2 Pro class is a joke, at least for now. Only five drivers were entered for WRC Rally Sweden and four of them finished the rally (one of them through Super Rally rule).

Mads Ostberg drove Citroen C3 R5 and we had two Škoda drivers - K. Rovanpera and E.Pietarinen - plus we had two drivers from M-Sport - G.Greensmith and Polish driver Pieniążek Łukasz. The last one finished through the Super Rally rule because he retired at one point of the rally.

So, Ostberg won with more then three minutes in front of the closest rival Rovanpera, while Gus Greensmith finished third with more then four minutes behind Ostberg.

But when we compare them to the WRC2 class regulars, Ostberg finished 11th overall with almost two minutes behind WRC2 leader O.Veiby who took dominant win in his VW Polo R5. It seems that new Polo works very good, at least at snow.
