How again?
They won both 2016 and 2015 and before they were committed to other championships. In 2011 when they did PWRC as semi-works team they did and win Finland too. Therefore this is the first time they skip Finland. I guess they want to enjoy some holidays before Germany and Barum which are the most important events for them.Stupid is as stupid does.

Exactly. From Finnish point of view some interesting names there. Jari Huttunen to make a debut in WRC2. Juuso Nordgren also to measure his speed. He was 2nd in his FRC 4WD debut and won (ok, after Kalle) his 2nd event. Also we have our FRC leader Teemu Asunmaa. Some other names are not half that bad and definitily provide an entertainment value. I would've welcomed Tidemand and Mikkelsen to provide measure for speed, but hey, this is what we get. For me, Rally Finland is about people anyway.

Sorry Per, but You can't mean this iseriously, can You? Maybe You haven't noticed that only 7 events count into classification of WRC2 while there are 13 on the calendar.
They won every single rally this year, that is already 7 victories of 7 events. What more could they achieve? Bad management really?Stupid is as stupid does. Forrest Gump

Ok. So are they quitting after 2017? To me every rally counts in your way to develop and to measure your standard. No team can stop doing that, even if they´re winning all the time. One day they will be catched up by others.
