    Huttunen was disappointing. I'm still thinking it was a mistake to go to Hyundai because the car is so unreliable and uncompetitive, but at least he gets valuable kms and experience of the rallies.

    Nordgren showed nice speed when his tyres kept intact, considering this was his eighth 4WD rally ever. For example third on SS3, SS12, SS15, SS16 and second on SS4, SS10 and SS20.

    Fantastic event from Greensmith, just unlucky.

    Although, there's just no comparison to Tidemand. An incredible comeback after being set back by two minutes of punctures.

    I would say, R5 with a bit more power but restricted suspension travel

    why not then 2017 WRC but with restricted suspension travel?

    The Clerk of the courses of Rally Finland have also expressed their concern for the speed of the current cars and said it would be awesome to have the current engines and safety equipment with less suspension travel and aeros and without center diffs, resulting in lower cornering speed and more sideways driving.

    It's easy to agree with the obvious. I don't think Ogier was trying to beat Neuville though.

    Also combined with tyres with less grip maybe?

    It´s also my concern over the speed, however rallying never was a harmless sport. Not even in the 60´s having 80-90 hp.

    But thinking of the consequences of a fatal accident among one of the cars in the top, for example in Finland, make me shiver.
