Not a surprise, but Lappi will not continue & zero points.

Tomi Tuominen said that bad luck, but just like in Sardegna last year mistake on the Saturday´s first stage, when leading. Maybe something in Italy, but unfortunately nothing to do with the luck this time.

Friday of Safari Rally 2022 we had 81.67km lost as it was a bit sandy for the WRC1/2 crews.

Yeah. And nobody wants Safari back either.

Non priority drivers are not fighting for a world championship, why would one be interested

This is one of the reasons why I dont like WRC. Everything is focused only to manufacturers and WRC/Rally1 cars. Nobody takes care about the rest...

Actually ERC last weekend was much more exciting.

Much, much more! WRC is almost dead.

Huge progress from Tänak on this stage compared to morning where he lost 20 secs to Thierry. At the moment loosing 2 secs in second split to Thierry

Perhaps they should’ve let go of all the WRC2 & beyond (WRC3, etc.) championships and just hand that to the ERC, then we’d have perhaps a more direct link between the ERC & WRC. Just some food for thought.
