Le Rally of Sweden (February 24-27) is the second round of the World Rally Championship (WRC). The entry list, published this Tuesday, January 25, only includes 50 participants, while the Monte-Carlo could boast of attracting 74 crews.
Among the changes made, we note the absence of Sébastien Ogier and Benjamin Veillas at Toyota, replaced by the Finns Esapekka Lappi and Janne Ferm. Thanks to their performance in Finland last fall, Lappi-Ferm have indeed won an official steering wheel on a partial program.
Registration for Rally Sweden, the second round of the FIA World Rally Championship, is closed. The provisional entry list contains 50 crews from 20 different countries who will participate in WRC Rally Sweden in Umeå on 24th-27th of February.

On the side of M-Sport Ford, Lorenzo Bertelli and Simone Scattolin will have fun while Sébastien Loeb and Isabelle Galmiche will always savor their success acquired in the Principality. Hyundai Motorsport will count on Oliver Solberg and Elliott Edmondson on the third i20 N hybrid.
In WRC3, the French Jean-Baptiste Franceschi and Anthony Gorguilo (Ford) will try to compete with the Nordic ice specialists.
