Does anyone else see the irony here? Let's look at the history. Going back to when the rules were changed to limit manufs point-scoring crews to two (nominated before the season/rally), which reduced the number of works or works-assisted WRCars. A couple of manufs quit and then Organisers start to worry about no. of top cars competing on 2nd/3rd legs. SupeRally (re-starting) then introduced, but not with leg points like used in APRC, etc. Instead, penalty times added for missed stages (grrr!) as incentive for manufs to re-start their crews. Still not exciting enough on 2nd/3rd days so Power Stage is introduced to 'sex-up' at least one stage on the last day. After all these rule changes, we now have a situation where the number of WRCars 'competing' on the last day is basically the same as it would have been without them. Please discuss.

What a boring section to end the rally and show on television.
Problems for Lappi?

No problems for Lappi, just a bad stage. Weird.
It's OK, it's a short stage! Remember the FIA and promoter reserve the right to completely fuck over everything we all know, enjoy and understand about this series and sport. Or, maybe they might...
