Why do you say that? Haven't they attended most recent years?

No surprises to what we already knew

Raoux and Scandola were surprises to me in positive way but there where many which I was expecting to make an entry (Al-Rajhi, Nikara, local 2wd ..., some Swedish drivers)

Tidemand has done all his "free" rallies

and they as a team can´t score more team points, Tidemand is driving for Motorsport II in Poland.

Entry list: http://www.nesterallyfinland.fi/site...a_approved.pdf

Somewhat disappointing entry. Numbers wise it's the worst ever (modern era at least, not totally sure for the early years), 65 entries - so likely 60-62 will start. Also, the non-seeded drivers are 90% total tourists as even the best local 2WD drivers have mostly not entered, as pantealex already mentioned. WRC2 entry is decent but even there we are lacking the best cars, the factory Skoda's.

And what the hell are Citroën doing running Al Qassimi in the third car instead of fourth? It's like they are not even trying anymore...Lefevbre must be pissed (likely Mikkelsen as well). Seriously thinking they might quit after this season...

11 entries less than 2016. ("all" of those DS3´s), infact 2017 list has more RC2 than 2016.

WRC2 doesn't really have a lot of 'star quality' let's say but definitely some up and coming young guns. It could actually make for a far more entertaining battle across the rally. And I believe we are guaranteed a first-time winner in the class. Better than Tidemand romping away to win.

11 less starters, there where couple of more entries also last year. 19 less than in 2015. But sure this is nitpicking, of course the entry is decent enough. It's just that I was hoping for better.

Still, have to say that the possibility to enter with only nationally homologated car - which the organizers drummed up somewhat - was a total joke, a single car entered - a Suzuki Swift

In general, I am certain AKK Sports in not totally happy with these numbers...
