    Encountered less problems or invited less problems? Not every rally is flat out sprint event.

    Variety is the spice of life. Events are so short these days it's nice to have one where you can lose a minute and not be out of the game. I think it's been a fantastic addition to the championship.

    Ogier retired from driver mistake
    Neuvilles suspension collapsed in a not rough stage,while it was a new one fitted this morning.We ve seen that kind of failure at other rallies too.
    Lappi was drivers mistake.
    Ostberg turbo =nothing about roughness
    Breen fire the same as Ostberg.

    about r5 cars Henning with michelin tyres as Kopecky/Tidemand and while he was as fast,he hadnt got any problems,with same car.

    So? Imho is good to have a such rally,rally is not only flat out at Finland like smooth terrains.
    we need variety,all kinds of conditions.

    An event which you need to manage your speed can be nice, but this rally is just a car wrecker. Cars are being destroyed no matter the approach from the driver.

    I think polo wrc was built more robust than other cars from same era. But obviously manufacturers adapt to the rallies that are on the calendar.

    Interesting that most retirements came today with seemingly less rough stages than yesterday. Maybe drivers started to push more with that in mind.

    which retirements can we say that they were from ''roughness'' of rally?

    Maybe but I really didn't follow today at all - even when my friend is going for WRC2 title. It was just completely uninteresting for me when stage times were basically meaningless and it was just about waiting who retires next.

    almost all of them... right now only 2-3 crews had a clean run, other had some kind of problem that either lead to retirement of losing too much time.

    its a stupid event.
