Waterford’s Craig Breen will be looking to extend his lead in the SWRC this weekend as the World Rally Championship heads to Sweden for the second event of the season.

Jari-Matti Latvala’s bid to claim his maiden World Rally victory remains on course after he consolidated his advantage over Ford team-mate Mikko Hirvonen on the second day of the Swedish Rally.

FINLAND’S Marcus Gronholm is already looking a strong contender for a third Swedish Rally victory in four years, having mastered the icy conditions with almost nonchalant ease.
