WRC 2012: Rally Sweden Day 1 Highlights

The ace Motors TV coverage (although it'd be great to see our columnist Neil Cole back on the WRC scene!) of the 3 days and 24 stages of the only snow rally of the season, Rally Sweden, also incorporating qualifying stages for the first time in WRC history, to pick running position (sweeper or rutter?!). Here we have day one highlights in Sweden (and across the border in Norway), up to special stage 10 and a fabulous fight between Jari-Matti Latvala's Ford Fiesta RS WRC, Mikko Hirvonen's Citroen DS3 WRC and Petter Solberg's Ford (driving past his own house!). Yump-and-snowbank-clipping-tastic, in perfect conditions!
