Don't think so, but this time it could be different.

he did, few times... Catalunya some years ago, this year's Croatia after Neuville crashed.
Here Toyota seems quite better than Hyundai and it's Neuville's weakest rally, so Evans is the clear favourite

I’m starting to sound like a broken record here, but not even 1 day of rallying in Finland, the most popular event on the calendar, and already WRC2 cars fill places 6 to 10. At this rate we will see one on the podium. That will be absolutely shocking for the sport.

You’re not the only one

This sport is dead at the moment. We are here spectating and just to see 5 rally1 cars now, of which one isn’t full time driver even. So only 4 full time drivers. Ridiculous

Competition is not in good situation...

... but for all who are playing this "make Rally2 as main category" - this rally is the best example from spectating difference, Rally1 are just so far away from Rally2 cars.

Could you believe you’d have said that back in Finland 2019?

But, they are obviously too fast, we have Gr.B crashes every rally, luckily the security is at an extreme level.

Would be interesting to know how many top level drivers share your opinion.

Personally I would say we don't have too many crashes. I can remind you just last rally, Rally Estonia, everyone finished.
