Well, road order will be the case anyway, but he was in a quite good position before his mistake in RMC also. All three events new for him in a WRC (although Sweden could be counted as his home event) and never been to Mexico i believe? Shouldn`t really complain yet, all of them don`t have "Sebastian" in their name. Some progress by speed and breaking, others by being medium and others stay medium or won`t reach even that level.

I think Suninen had a test before Poland, and we could consider all of Poland as a test event for Rally Finland. And he had a half day of testing before Finland with the same car he did the rally with. But before Mexico, no testing at all. Very different conditions, no gravel driving in a WRC car for months.

Can't wait to be walking through a forest and find myself met with a silent oncoming rally car.

I have no objection. I like the excitement of noisy cars but I feel that motorsport will continue and continue to be fun at a lower volume. If volume seems to be people's biggest problem with it, I can tell it's coming.
Maybe it's my own hearing sensitivity (I have to block my ears when I'm close to rally cars, even ambulance sirens), but I think that in time today's complaints will look like the people who didn't believe in wearing helmets in American football, or drivers' aids, or any other new feature that detracts from the "purity" of any motorsport.
And electric power gives you the opportunity for a 350-380hp world rally car to have maximum torque at any time, which (with the right regulations) can make for extremely exciting driving, especially on gravel/snow/ice/mud. As several people on this forum have pointed out, loads of torque and less grip = more sideways (of course sacrificing cornering speed). Not everyone may want that style of rally, but not everyone wants ever cleaner tarmac-like performance on every surface either. In the end I think there is enough give and take that it will still be a fun sport to watch and participate in if this shift were to happen in the future.
