Absolutely do not want to make the judgment but in 1995 rallies have ~ 500 competitive km.
Well, thing about such a short championship is that it is much harder to recover from technical faults that might not be driver's error so in that sense luck plays a bigger role and I think this is evident in this championship.
Nobody said what you mentioned isn't true, did they? But it doesn't change the fact that the fewer rallies you have, the more luck you need. If you have a technical dnf then it plays a bigger role than during a normal season. Skill wins in the long run, but the smaller the samplesize, the higher the variance. Can't see how this isn't obvious to everyone.
