It's much better and adequate.

Mäkinen did the mistake, Sainz didn't

I agree, the top 5 is not in dispute really. I suppose you could say that Kankkunen is an odd one because he never won on tarmac, so all his success came from loose surface rallies.

I would say both suffered bad luck. It's a part of motorsport, as are technical problems.

And Sainz never won on snow. And Mäkinen never on mixed surface.

No launch like last year in Salzburg, it will be official presentation of rally1 teams in Monte Carlo on wednesday 18.1. - but smaller scale.

That’s cheap

New regulations for this season summed up by dirtfish.

Tire warming zones are interesting, wonder how many rallies will apply it since it is not mandatory.

Also i like the idea of no more extra 4 tires for shakedown, since it will make tire strategy more relevant on some rallies again.
