    Stages are placed in three counties and the restrictions differ by the county. Organizers said that Zagreb county where most of the stages take place will allow spectators and the other two are yet to be determined. Hopefully and most likely, it will be allowed. After all, rally is held in the open and it's easy to keep distance between the spectators.

    Croatia' covid measuers are usually very liberal compared to other European countries and it should remain so. Also, as I already mentioned, few poeple live in the area close to stages so that's another important factor.

    Difficult to predict what happens. New rally, new tires, new drivers in new cars. Ogier is always strong in every rally, Neuville is good on tarmac. Tänak, Breen and Evans are more of question marks, although Tänak has won three times Rally Deutschland, Breen is an Irish rally champion and Evans is known to be good on tarmac. How do they fit in their new cars? Hyundai on tarmac for anyone else than Neuville and Sordo? And yeah, Kalle was able to beat Kopecky in Bohemia, and has the best start position, as the roads will likely get polluted.

    Has Kalle ever competed in Barum Rally? You probably mean Bohemia?

    yeah, very hard to predict and thats actually a good thing. Based on the last two tarmacish events (Monza and Monte), Ogier and Toyota seems TO ME the strongest combo on the tarmac, followed by all the others in no particular order. Breen starts quite far back on first day so that might hamper him a little bit and also the fact that he hasnt competed on this level on tarmac with this machine. According to Neuville they have now fixed the intercom issues and he is always very fast on tarmac events. Kalle has the best starting position and the fact that its a completely new rally also plays into his hands.

    So yeah, promises to be a very interesting rally.

    And Croatia being a totally new rally in the calendar, an interesting fact that theres been 5 new rallies in the calendar since 2017 and Tänak has won 4 of them and has been second on fifth one. It seems something clicks for him with the new ones but we will see this time.

    Croatia is somewhat closer to Bohemia in the character than to Barum anyway
