Yes but it's also a primary reason why there is not the U27 there or why there is not larger interest in the rally among more teams. And also a primary reason why I don't enjoy following the event, sorry (not only this year).

It's basically a car killer:
Habaj Łukasz: "The car is working, but the conditions are really tough, killing the car. We tried to go continuously and easy. I think after this rally we have to change a lot of parts in the car."
Brynildsen Eyvind: "The road is so rough, I have never seen something like that."
Magalhães Bruno: "This is all about surviving. I have never seen in my life something like that. It wasn't so rough previous year, the rocks are everywhere. Enjoying, but suffering in once."Last edited by Jarek Z; 2nd June 2018 at 11:03.

these drivers are not choosed Acropolis because it is ''rough'' if they step at next level,they will find similar rocks and rough situations at other wrc events.
You have to know how to survive.
Rally is not only about Fin and Estonian smooth stages.
Except that are not all stages rough.Yesterdays stage Thiva is smooth and wide for example.
You choose where to push.

Despite Lukyanuk losing the rally, Maghalhaes now has a bigger lead than he had ...
But with this event anything can still happen.#M-SPORTER

Of course so rough road affect the entry list. But I like to have also similar events, where it is not only about speed, but mainly about endurance. Because I think that rally in this age is so much focused to speed, there is less kms of SS on each event... So one similar event is good to have in championship. To show the drivers they dont need only to push, but also to think.

It was on qualifying stage, he rolled the car and it was said that he won't be able to start the rally. But team managed to repair the car and he did start and dominated drivers like Rossel, Gryazin...
