McRae still after podium finish.
Colin McRae reckons he still has a hope of grabbing a top three finish on the Swedish Rally, despite a character-building first day.
McRae was one of those to suffer most from the fresh snow on stages yesterday [Friday] - his second place in the World Rally Championship points meaning he ran second on the road. However he was the first to admit that was not the biggest impediment to his ambition.

McRae was one of those to suffer most from the fresh snow on stages yesterday [Friday] - his second place in the World Rally Championship points meaning he ran second on the road. However he was the first to admit that was not the biggest impediment to his ambition.
"OK, our position on the road has probably cost us some time," said the Scot as he completed the first day of his second rally with Citroen, "but the biggest problem is that we have had three spins. The first cost us about 40 seconds, the other two about 15 seconds each - the two this afternon were fourth gear corners."
The 1995 World Champion is not completely downhearted though and will still be looking for a top result. "The best I can go for now is a podium place," he declared.
