Lappi won his 4th WRC rally yes (due to Latvala ECU issue) ... and then hasn't won since. Turkey this year was first time he had a chance, 2 years later.
Suninen won a stage on his first WRC rally and first 2 years later in Sardinia he got one 2nd place.
So both are more a confirmation that you can't be champion/regular podium contender out of the box.

Good call. Bummed for Australia and the drivers, but it was the only viable choice.

"Travel to Coffs Harbour is increasingly difficult with flights out of Sydney delayed amid speculation the airport in Coffs will be closed."
so i guess its just matter of time if the teams get out there or not? I dont get why the decision took so long, it was clear to see its not going to happen. The fire didnt come just overnight, i read reports already last week from twitter.
E: just read from estonian media that they are trapped, there are no flights because of smokeLast edited by EstWRC; 12th November 2019 at 05:39.

The one and only decision to take.
Only feeling a bit for Paddon.
As "the job interview" is cancelled (Breen, Paddon, Latvala, Meeke, Evans, Suninen, Mikkelsen, ..who-else-is-without-announced-contract..), we can continue with intence Silly Season

Cancelling rally was only real option. Decision should have been made on Sunday. Gutted for Paddon. Here is financial input into 2 rallies where he did not even reach start line this year! NZ$600,000 = $350,000 Euro!

He didn't use the car so it's intact and done 0 SS km...there is testing, logistics, fees and that kind of stuff, but for sure a lot less than 175k (350:2).

Why should they have cancelled on Sunday? This is a government financed event. It's not the sort of thing you just unilaterally decide to cancel.
And what's the benefit of cancelling on Sunday versus trying everything to run an event and cancel on Tuesday. After all, It's only Tuesday of rally week.
All the people and equipment would have already been there.
