What was the reason in your opinion then? Why did they lose the most on day 1, 2. loop and the least yesterday (Ogier especially)? There`s quite a margin between a narrow and wide tyre, rwd/4wd/fwd.

The difference of the grooves where I was was minimal from the end of WRC and Historics. This is also completely ignoring the same complaints from the same person the year there was no Rally Sweden Historic. I have no doubt that RWD cars, FWD cars, JWRC, slow, scared 4WD drivers etc. create strange grooves for the top WRC guys to follow. But this have been the usual complaint from Ogier, regardless of Historic being a part of the rally or not. The only way to avoid any issues like this is to have 15-ish top drivers in WRC17 spec cars only.
As for the running Historic after the second run - that would make each day extremely drawn out and create loads of dangerous situations with people walking on the road. For the stage I spectated on Friday, the historic would get first car out on stage around 18:00 CET, and not be done until 20:00 ish. Those three extra hours from being complete around 17:00 does make a huge difference in spectator behavior, and not at least getting up and spectating again on Saturday.
To clarify: I don't doubt that the Historic class are making the grooves hard for the WRC guys, but the issue would still be there without the Historic class - at least for Ogier.

Not really an option running historics after the 2nd run as i don't think you would find marshalls willing to stay on a stage for close to 12 hours...
