Motorsport: Crunch time for Armstrong and Byrne in Scandinavia

Points on the board for Armstrong/Byrne will be important, especially after their non-finish in the first round in Spain.

Regarded as one of the fastest events, the BAUHAUS Royal Rally of Scandinavia is the latest setting for Irish pair Jon Armstrong/Shane Byrne, who need to garner some top points for their European Rally Championship bid. 

The 17-stage Karlstad-based rally is a familiar location for the 30-year-old Kesh driver, who made his Rally2 debut at this level two years ago.
