Is Frode Holte the surprise of this season?
I think he is! The Volvo seems much more reliable now than a couple of years ago (KG Lindkvist) and while other cars of that time are now degraded a fraction, his gained quite I lot! Does the Volvo benefit from Hunsbedts assault? Does it still have the Volvo/Cosworth head, that was broke so many times?

I think Holte is a super little driver
And you ahve to admit thatc ar compared to some is a little outdated When you think of how the likes of Lindefjell and Coox go in those Skoda's then Holte is getting superb results And some of our guys too, Evans, Doran have pretty good kit and get good results but you think someone like Holte could maybe win in those cars. Then again wasnt the car ex Bergteamet who run Hunsbedt? And they seem to know what theya re doing. What happened to Linqvist anyway? |

Holte is the positive surprise I think and Ole-Kristian Nöttveit is the negative surprise. I thought he would take a step up this year.
K-G Lindkvist stopped do rallycross when he was replaced by Hunsbedt. But he still works for Bergteamet. The mining company Bergteamet. K-G is a miner. |

Maybe the Volvo had potential all the time and they finally found the missing bits? Maybe new engine tuner (now that Hunbedt has Godfrey)? Better suspension? It is wider (according to the new bodypanels).

I guess Holte will take over the Hunsbedt S40 Mk2 soon.
