G. Svedberg won the overall event.<br data-start=\"327\" data-end=\"330\" \/>From that moment on, SAAB drivers achieved many victories.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"390\" data-end=\"709\">New car brands appeared in the world of rallying, only to disappear a few years later.<br data-start=\"476\" data-end=\"479\" \/>No other manufacturer remained active in rallying as long as SAAB, which saw rallying as a tool to accelerate technical development.<br data-start=\"611\" data-end=\"614\" \/>For this reason, the rally cars were always kept as close as possible to the production models.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"711\" data-end=\"1138\">Svedberg\u2019s first victory convinced the Norwegian rally star, Greta Molander, to drive a SAAB 92 in her tenth Monte Carlo Rally.<br data-start=\"838\" data-end=\"841\" \/>Greta finished 55th overall, eighth in her category, and second in the women\u2019s ranking, while the newcomers Svedberg and Mellde placed sixth.<br data-start=\"982\" data-end=\"985\" \/>Although SAAB didn\u2019t win every rally it entered, drivers such as Mellde, Svedberg, Molander, and Nystr\u00f6m proved that the 92 was a tough and reliable car.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1140\" data-end=\"1487\">Since Mellde was in charge of development, any shortcomings revealed during competitions were quickly addressed, and the production cars were accordingly improved.<br data-start=\"1303\" data-end=\"1306\" \/>This fast transfer of technical data from the competition world to the production line was a philosophy SAAB consistently followed, convinced that racing improved the final product.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1489\" data-end=\"1662\">Numerous were the victories achieved by drivers such as Greta Molander, Rolf Mellde, K.G. Svedberg, Erik Carlsson, Carl-Magnus Skogh, and Stig Blomqvist, to name just a few.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1664\" data-end=\"1692\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"><strong
