All points are OK, but could be totally ignored by last one. So why 1-6 exist while they could not implemented? This is strange one.
And BTW what a reason of WRGB18 not run power stage as last stage?

The organizer insisted on having Great Orme as final stage but once it was a tarmac stage it didn’t cope with item 4 of PS rules.

Btw, great show from Tanak and Neuville on this one and congrats to Suninen; even if he wasn’t able to keep Tanak behind, this has been his best rally for a long time.

I wonder is the location for Suninen on maps real or not? He seems quite far away from the place where he should be.

freeze with 34 kph speed

Ott on a very bad mood all day.

Ogier start this rally with statement: "This rally shouldn't happen" and finish with same...

Yes Ogier would have won even if they didn't have problems. Neuville had problems while behind Ogier.

On Saturday without road position disadvanrage Ogier pushed on first stage beating everyone by 8s+ and could cruise rest of the day. Almost like some Polo days.

Anyway, what has happened has happened. I understand the decison made by FIA & organizer, the situation in the whole world is extremely sirious.
I'm verry happy for Ogier (althouhg I haven't placed him so high in my pickems), he finlly succeeded.
I do not see the situation for Tanak so bad (unsatisfied with the car), second place is a top result.
Suninen-very positive, at least a patch for disaster with Lappi.
Evans-according to predictions he was not playing any ''prominent'' role in this event.

Now- keeping fingers crossed and hope for COVID-19 to stop spreading.
