    Well Tanak is clearly most likely candidate for Tommi.
    That said if I were from Toyota leadership I'd be a bit worried about getting 3 "Finish" drivers that mostly like same rallies (well we dunno about Lappi that much). Sure for one year during development it's ok, but as a long term strategy they should get someone very good on tarmac. But there aren't exactly many choices. (Ogier, Sordo, partly Mikkelsen (no tarmac ace, but prbly better than Tanak), Evans is also generally better on tarmac than gravel).
    Getting Sunninen when they have Lappi as a "young" talent is imo also risky. See Citroen how it might end with 2 drivers with little experience.

    Slightly off topic...... We drove from the UK to Finland (my son wanted a road trip ) and left on the Monday before the rally via France, Belgium, Holland, Germany, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia to get to our hotel near to the Laukka stage. Shakedown was just stunning! I'm not ashamed to say that I had tears in my eyes as we were finally able to see and hear the cars rather than watch them on videos. Friday we saw 4 stages (Halinen and Laukka) and, on Saturday, left our hotel at 3AM to go to the yellow house jump on Ouninpohja where we arrived at 04.30! We weren't the first spectators there although we had a great position. After the jump we went to what was probably my favourite stage, the Kakaristo hairpin on Ouninpohja. The atmosphere was fantastic within the 2k+ spectators especially when the two remaining Toyota's came into view. In the 8 days of travelling, we totaled 6,540 Km's...... Here's a video showing our memories from the rally. Thanks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJwz-tFOkcA&t=0s

    Two great long videos, showing the crazy speed of the WRC cars better than the official footage

    ..Just here to watch N.O.T suffer in his autism :-) Funny sport that with shitty cars and even dogs driving you can still be competive and win races. Imagine what good team could do with great driver

    There is no exact numbers but it's estimated that Rally Finland was more popular than in a long time.

    I kept hearing on the rally radio that parking spaces are full and the traffic is jammed, and many experienced spectators had to change their plans because they couldn't get from stage to another like they could do in the previous years. Of course having a Finland-based team and more Finnish drivers means something, but I believe there's also something about the new WRC cars that has brought interest back in the sport.
