Some really weird times getting assigned to those who started the stage and didn't finish at speed. Most notably Camilli's time is strange he was 4th Rally2 in first split and gets 2nd time at the end?Quote:

Edit: From wrc.com WRC 3 review:
The day-ending Chalancon - Gumiane stage was red-flagged by event organisers following WRC driver Pierre Louis Loubet’s crash and all WRC3 crews were handed notional times.
The original itinerary was created also in Covid time. It was here already during previous edition. None of us knows what kind of problems they had to solve during the year, what kind of conditions all officials, sponsors, promoter, etc. had, but we can be sure that organizing 2021 edition was definitely harder than 2020 already from the beginning.Quote:

Apparently it wasn't too hard to pass, so stage could have maybe run..
But surely no 6-6 curfew in the summer when the original itinerary was created.Quote:
