Estonian fans are better with Photoshop than Belgians...?

This is slightly silly from Mäkkinen. He's usually a clever guy but his team has rally Finland and Estonia with very similar roads to the test roads from the test road for their factory.

If anyone has home advantage already, it's should be his team.

Honestly I do understand his way of thinking. For other team's home events, everyone has been there and knows it. For Estonia all teams have been there too. But with Ypres, it hasn't been a candidate event in the last 20 years. Hyundai was there with their WRC last year, and Breen won the event... They already have some experience making a set-up there, and they have two drivers with A LOT of experience there.

Besides that I'd like to see a WRC event in Belgium, IF it's possible. Now the government has banned spectators from all sports events, both indoor and outdoor. It's only a question how long this will last. I don't see any rally happening under this rule, they need the money from entry tickets paid by spectators.

Katsuta used a yaris wrc in 2019 rally in japan. probably i miss something and that's different from others.

Hyundai is making a lot of real rally test, as sport and marketing strategy. Nobody stops makinen to do the same. if rally roma (not so impossible) or rally alba will become wrc round, makinen will complain 'cause is adamo's ground?

btw, running a "not-really-legal" aero for 3 years was fair, right?
