She is indeed Norwegian - but she seems to be focused much more on Swedish competitions. Possibly just something to do with where the family is based?

The fact is the track they choose is not what the cars have really been designed for but do show a reflection on tracks used in UK especially and more into Europe.
I like indoor racing but not with limitless grip, I would like to have seen some slippery hairpins. The rumble strips was there to break up the pace of the circuit 17 seconds was too fast even with them, and yes it meant the cars had to have some rideheight, also it made sure the shaft cars would be more handicaped in that section with the non shaft cars as they really don't do bumps as well.
Any Team with Gerd in is going to be running some non production models.
Associated keeping under wraps is very suspicious to me, if it was new prototype stuff why keep a secret? maybe they borrowed some bits from another manufacturer?. Associated went with a very strong team as always and for a young gun to win will shake up the old school, will Rifkin buy Cav a Beer after the coming together, you could see his intention to win after not stopping for the Multi WC top Associated driver. He was on fire in finals impressive stuff.
Tebo running his own hybrid was a little controversial, However Boots was running the new prototype RB6 which we expect to see in production soon. 11th place was much more than expected and fast enough for 5th in all A final runs. The Kyosho cars was kept secret prior but was fully on show during event.
Yokomo lacked some depth to their team at the top, Lee did well to get there after a poor start but just was not on pace of the rest.

I think its clear that 2wd has become such a variable class depending on surface and track features that this worlds has highlighted that many cars are still not developed to point where they can compete in all arenas! I doubt anyone in top 20 had a car off the shelf to buy now!

Looking forward to 4wd, i expect more drivers to show, so far some very strong drivers been missing under radar as they likely had 2wd not up to it, Like Ronnafelk and few others way down the field. Doubt it will be 2 horse race in qualifying like 2wd was!
