No Rustad/Opel out today, they had problems with the software to their engine. On a lighter note, the team is building a new car that will replace the current one, that will be downgraded to a spare car. The Astra Coupe with Fridh wasn't out today either; I noticed that the two teams (Euromaster and Opel Team Sweden) was very good friends in Knutstorp so to say - parked next to each other in the pitlane, and Fridh even had a OTS sticker on his car. I wonder if they too suffer from Opel's software problems?

Also, Tegelby in a third Mercedes, surely a typo? His BMW got smashed up pretty good at Knutstorp, but I cannot fathom how he would end up in a Mercedes instead?
