    Was it as hard for you when Focus turned to Fiesta ?

    Do you even remember when Escort become Focus ?

    You'd have to be blind not to see THAT difference.

    The whole article kind of contradicts itself...

    saying how awesome the new car is in Finland based on Matt Wilson who said he hasn't driven in Finland in 10 years (so not current gen cars) and Fourmaux who only drove R2 (not Rally2) car there in 2019 (dunno about tests).

    Sure it might feel great to drive, but hard to say how it compares to current car in Finland based on feedback from these two.

    These media outlets have a self-imposed obligation to be positive about the sport, no matter what happens. Sometimes this leads to hilarious cases of doublethink, like when Dirtfish claimed that the Safari was only a fraction of its former length, yet the challenge had not been diminished - all in the same sentence. Now that we're on this topic, have you ever know any WRC pundit to be openly critical of something the sport is doing? Of course not, the sport is a business and they are its employees.
