Yes, there are reasons, however the latter hasn't seemed to affect either MotoGP, F1 or other major series.
Those running WRC need to realise 'dead time' is a killer for interest in a series.
Is there a better sound than that of Porsche engined Flat-6 ???

Apparently the Rally1 cars being finalized so late also affected that, the teams couldn't ship their overseas early enough. Although contrary to what they say here, the cars are typically not shipped to Americas, but flown in, only the service gear and spare parts are shipped.

MotoGP runs almost entirely on airfreight.
F1 runs multiple long haul kits.
I think the issue for WRC teams this year was having the spare parts / hybrid kits ready to put in containers and on the high seas in January.... It's not about the cars themselves.
We all know how far Hyundai was behind in EVERYTHING to do with their homologation / testing. Let alone having duplicate bits and pieces...

I think Hyundai need a new social media manager. Their twitter account is so passive and non enthusiastic, it is like a news website announcing results. Even M-Sport social media were more enthusiastic last year when they were absolutely lost and non competitive.

With victory in Croatia, Kalle Rovanperä becomes the youngest driver to win on all three surfaces; the previous holder of said record was Ogier, 29 years and 2 months at his first Sweden win.

Wishful thinking... Kalle had massive experience from WRC2 + titles when he sat to the WRC car.
Oliver has to learn in the WRC car mostly now and it isn't going to be that rapid development curve for him.
I know you Per like to have swedish top driver in the WRC ((remember the cases of Tidemand and Bergqvist (i was right in both cases btw)) but bending the real picture doesn't make it real. Kalle is far ahead compared to Oliver and this with or without Toyota

Same thing with Oliver, Fourmaux and Greensmith - they stepped onto the top level without really winning anything in WRC2 (Oliver was fastest RC2 in Estonia 2020 and Greensmith in Monte 2019), too early.
Wet conditions. Portuguese Autosport brought something to the table... the WRC2 crews are using a WRC spec tyre that is harder than the spec Meeke and other CPR runners are using.
