Rally Galaxy 2017/02

Part of the World Rally Championship calendar since it began in 1973, Rally Sweden is one of the season’s unmissable rounds. Even when temperatures drop to close to -30°C large numbers of fans still flock to the stages to see the drivers deploy their acrobatic talents to keep their cars on the road. The WRCs flirt with the snow banks as they drift around corners at full speed, providing an unforgettable show for the spectators! 

Eighteen years after their last WRC victory, Toyota was again winning a World Championship Rally, and the winner was Jari-Matti Latvala exactly nine years after his first WRC victory when he became the WRC’s youngest victor.  Now he is the championship’s most experienced driver, and during this time he has won this specialist event in three different makes of car.  The 2017 event started with a great battle between Hyundai’s Thierry Neuville and Latvala but on the final stage of the Saturday, just like in Monte Carlo, Neuville went off the road when leading.  Ott Tanak overcame mechanical troubles and finished second, while his M-Sport teammate Sebastien Ogier suffered from road conditions and scored no fastest stage times for the first time in four years, and struggling to finish third.

As usual, Martin Holmes will uncover the mysteries of this fascinating game where man and machine take on the elements and where every second counts. Enjoy Rally Galaxy and enjoy the spectacle of World Championship Rallying!
