Estonia outtakes:
The good:
- Nice stages (looked nicer than on the event here last year), specially the variation both between stages and within them was nice
- Breen finally with good speed and result for Hyundai
- Both championships open, on paper Hyundai even seem to have an advantage. But still Toyota and Ogier/Evans have the points in the box now.
The bad:
- Sprint format, especially on a fast rally like this any position changes were essentially over mid way trough first day. A small isue (like a tire for Rovanpera) and it was over. While I am not a fan of very long rallies, below 300 km is clearly too little.
The ugly:
- Competition is down to two teams. Sure on gravel with lots of cleaning MSport might do some better results but I just cant see how they magically catch up with development. Off course its not their fault in the first place, but this is just how it is. In 1,5 years we went from 4 cars that could win a rally to 2, and next year is not looking any better.
Awesome must-win performance by Tanak and PS pts off Ogier. Perfect.
Evans and Katsuta crashes weren't total write-offs. You can salvage many parts from the car and just put in a new bodyshell. Fire is always the worst because it destroys everything.Quote:

It really wouldn’t.Quote:

Kajto stop?
They were really troubled just losing Lappi's car in Mexico. Then the lockdown - no rallies, no car sales, no parts sales, people made redundant.Quote:

rolled. Now Huttunen claims P2 in WRC3 and also the WRC3 lead.Quote:
