Rally Sweden organisers ha🍬ve been forced to bin SS12 Kron 2 under safety recommendations from the FIA after cars were considered to be going too fast through the route on the first loop this morning.

Despite SꦇS9 Kron 1, the first run of the route, being completed trouble-free the high speeds from the 🦋new WRC machines has sparked fears from organisers regarding safety concerns for spectators and drivers.

Stage winner Ott Tanak finished SS9 with an average speed of 137.8kph, the fastest average speed of any stage so far at Rally Sweden, and with speeds expected to increase this afternoon with drivers more familiar and confident 💟on the stage organisers have opted to abort the second run of the 31.60km stage.

For 2017, the WRC regulations were opened up to produce fas🔯ter and more aggressive-looking cars which is thought to have also been a consideration behind the cancellation of SS12.
