Disqualified from Rally Sweden

Patrik and Göran disqualified from Rally Sweden
After a tough start in the morning after lunch everything stated to work and Patrik got three stage wins in the afternoon and was only 22 seconds after the leader Andreas Gröndal.

But at 10pm it all changed.
It all started with that the URT-Team got a meeting call from FIA around 10pm. The reason for the meeting was that the team was using the same rims that they used last year. The issue is that these rims are a little bit lighter and no longer approved for this year something that the team simply missed out. Therefor FIA took the decision to disqualify Patrik and Göran.
-“It feels really awful to get a punishment like this for something like this but I don´t blame the team it has never been any problems before it was just a mistake” says a very disappointed Patrik.
