The question is how much of a difference this non hybrid makes in terms of the rental. Even if it is some 10 % cheaper (doubt it is as much) it does not solve the current WRC issues, at all.

Please do remind me what kind of disaster it was.
I went through drivers' reaction during the event and nothing special was reported, they all dealt with it just fine.

As Mirek said over and over again, laws of physics are universal... here the wooden slat went through the metal door like nothing and pierced into the seat

To me it seems the car is pretty raw in terms of setup, all the drivers are quite struggling. You could expect that from Pajari and Solans, after all they have 1 Monte start combined, but it feels...

In the past, professional teams had gravel crews and/or plenty of people reporting the conditions on the stages.
now, all live allows level playing field.

I guess that spaceframe is not the reason though

Apparently, Rossel broke his arm during the accident

He actually did catch a puncture there, but it was still extremely lucky escape.
Kopecky had a moment in that exact spot during the first run of the stage, he landed wide and went some 30 cm into...

Jan did not have that much seat time as in the past, wouldn’t say he did more than Meeke.

The problem is that one of the biggest draws in WRC could be gone after this season anyways, just because M-Sport did not deliver at...

Was there an anticut or just natural obstacle?

Armstrong finished Rally Islas Canarias with 1,76s/km loss to quite a decent driver in rally2 and it was also smooth tarmac.

Good to hear more updates are coming. Better late than never.
