The WRC’s only full-snow round delivered its usual high-speed winter spectacle. Marcus Grönholm, debuting the updated Ford Focus RS WRC 07, was untouchable across the frozen Swedish forests, taking his fifth career win at the event.
Sweden’s fast, flowing snow stages reward bravery and precise car placement. Notable stages included:
Firm snowbanks allowed drivers to ‘lean’ the car through corners, but any overcommitment risked getting pulled in and stuck.
Grönholm’s speed on snow was unmatched, leading a Ford 1–2 and showing the new Focus RS WRC 07’s capability. Carlsson thrilled local fans with a surprise podium in a privateer Mitsubishi.
Grönholm’s Swedish win reignited his title rivalry with Loeb, setting the stage for a closely contested 2007 championship battle.
