    There should be something yes. Maybe it's also a good idea to not let just everyone who has the money drive a WRC car...

    2012 Monte Carlo. Louise Cook with Fiesta N3 was the last PWRC driver and Kevin Abbring with Fabia S2000 was the first non-championship driver. They gave Kevin 10 minutes gap but he finished SS1 (30 km long with snow and ice) another 10 minutes ahead of her.

    Anyway in this case since the WRC Trophy is totally meaningless and worthless cup it should have been seeded behind WRC2.

    This is ridiculous. He was 7,6 seconds faster than Suninen on 2,2 km while he was 26 seconds faster over the whole leg. In the end it doesn't change anything between the two anyway.

    Would it maybe be called tactics? Safety first, or something?

    It makes me wonder if works Fabia has some special engine mode just for super specials?

    'Nearly' two stage wins this year, superspecials or not is quite something with an R5 car.

    Edit: Actually lots of Fabias quick on this stage.
