Toyotas are now within 8,1 seconds. Will there be team orders? Will we see the same as in Sweden with Ogier and Rovanperä?

It is now just a two horse race. Ford/msport is just loads behind. It is often like this with them, start well and fade out a bit untill the next rulechange.
I have to admit, I really miss the fact we don't have a fourth team. Since we had such a long break it kind of made me forget but as much as today was interesting, it is still a bit lacking. I'm not saying Citroen are the team that should necessarily comeback but boy I hope another manufacturer comes to the WRC fold...Well aware it's less & less likely with COVID-19 but honestly the state of the championship is looking bleak for the near (& far) future. As for the rally, great event, wish we had it some 2-3 weeks earlier, nice to see Breen do so well. It seems like we're heading to a two horse race in the championship between Tanak & Ogier, if things finish here as they are. Will be very interesting to see the last 3 rallies to end the season (4 if Croatia gets the go ahead).
I still find it hard to believe that the onboard kit comes up to 100k. Not going to argue though, just don't have the info. But I think that not showing "all" or at least more cars actually comes down to time between stages and keeping the transmission airplane up and running. And even when there was more time between stages to show more cars, I recall from one interview with NEP Finland, that aerial costs are the highest in production, so it might just not be viable.
