In WRC2, Rally Sweden rookie Takamoto Katsuta surprised everyone with the fastest time. 5.5 seconds ahead of Ole Christian Veiby and another 3.5 ahead of Kevin Abbring.

In SS3 Thierry Neuville finally seemd to have shaken of his own demons from last year as he aced the competition with the fastest time.
Huttinen and Takamoto(again) fastest in WRC2.
Oh, and Ole Christian Veiby broke the record on his “own”, Veiby’s Crest. The official new record measures a whopping 47 meters.
