For Skoda and Mitsubishi the reasons were clear, their performance was miserable. I don't remember why Peugeot pulled out, was it because PSA wanted only one brand in WRC?

If I recall correctly they said they wouldn't allow both brands to compete against one another.

Mitsubishi is running a SUV in some Rally with an old school livery... I dont see them coming back to WRC tho. Maybe hybrid Dakar and extreme-e... maybe?

Do the drivers can see their stage-times and current position on some screen inside the car?
Someone tells them via radio? Or they just discover how they went when the reporter tells them??
Noob doubt, sorry

Up until 2015 drivers had their split times available from inside the car during the stage, and they could know whether another driver had gone off before them. Since 2016, that has been forbidden, so in theory no, they don't know anything.

as the current gen.cars or this era will come an end in a month, i looked some statistics during 2017 - 2021. Monza will add some numbers but most of the results are already decided.

Its still to be decided who will have the most wins during this era, at the moment Ogier has 15, Tänak 14 and Neuville 13. So, Ott has a chance to tie up with Ogier or Ogier has a chance to make things clear and get 16 wins with Monza. Thierry can tie up with Ott but all the 3 guys very close and with basically the same amount.

Ogier 15
Tänak 14

Stage wins by manufacturer:

as there are 17 stages in Monza then Hyundai has a chance to pass Toyota but it would mean they have to win all stages, so basically we can say Toyota has won that category, although i must say i was surprised it is so close, i thought Toyota is way ahead


Wins by manufacturer

Toyota 25
Hyundai 17
M-sport 9

How about add Rovanperä, Lappi, Latvala and Meeke? At least they have power stage wins and stage wins
