Quotes from Hagfors (Service Park after SS 20):
Tommi Makinen: "It’s been the fastest Swedish Rally so far. There was a lot of snow on the final stage and, although the Michelins have been good, we were sliding a lot for the first five kilometres - it was certainly better for the cars behind. The gap at the start of the stage was too much, and there was a lot of pressure on Marcus to get his and Peugeot’s first win, but we came quite close and still have good points for the Championship. I have a lot of experience but I still make some little mistakes, but I have had a very enjoyable day and am very happy for Marcus".
Freddy Loix: "I am very happy to have won the battle with Markko. It has been a long time since I have had to fight on the last stage and it has been very exciting. I knew that on the final stage, which is essentially new to the event, his experience was not so important. I said to myself during the stage ’Freddy, be as clean as possible’ and in the middle we were pushing at maximum attack. I found a good rhythm and am very pleased".
Phil Short (Marlboro Mitsubishi Ralliart Team Manager): "We are a little disappointed not to win again, but the performance was very good and we got both cars to the finish. Peugeot did very well to achieve victory at this stage of their campaign. It has been a tough battle, but Tommi has done well for his Championship and we must thank Michelin who seem to have had the best options for the conditions in Sweden".
