Entry list
In the end only 13 WRC cars (the normal factory cars, plus Bertelli, Tuohino, Loubet, Solberg, Katsuta)
In WRC2 you have Prokop on second M-Sport car and Georg Linnamäe on a VW Polo entered by ALM Motorsport. Otherwise quite like expected. No Östberg though.Last edited by AnttiL; 12th February 2021 at 07:39.

Only 3 drivers from Sweden which is not a lot compared to Rally Sweden.

Rather surprised about Ostberg, he did a perfect job for Citroen last year.

Strange choice of rally for Bertelli to make his comeback. He didnt have a good run in Sweden 2017 or 2019 either.
Still good to see another WRC car driven in the last season they're allowed.

Too bad with Østberg.
Still should be a nice WRC2 battle between Lappi, Mikkelsen and Huttunen. Have to say it's very hard to predict how they do compared to one another, each have pros and cons:
Lappi
+ does well on very fast rallies
+ drove R5 Fabia on snow
- last time drove R5 ages ago
Mikkelsen
+ Drives R5 a lot in last months, with a lot of testing
+- used to be a bit weak on very fast rallies, but seemingly got better
- never drove R5 on snow rally
Huttunen
+ Lot of R5 driving, some snow experience with it (yes Sweden last year did have some snow, with Fabia year before)
+- I20 R5 seems to do good on fast rallies lately, maybe not so good if it gets very soft or rutted
- Comparatively lot less experience than the other 2
I don't expect much of Fourmaux here, behind these 3 would be quite good. Gryazin might surprise with Polo.

Route preview. Which stage will be the fastest one? Which stage includes driving on frozen swamp? When was the last time the shortest stage of a WRC event was longer than 19.91 km?

Why Katsuta has high hopes for incredible Arctic Rally

It’s a bit sad they killed off all the small supermini hot hatches, and I’m sorry an ‘hot’ electric Ypsilon doesn’t cut it for me.
