Can people see those side cooling ducts for the hybrid units working when we get to Sweden?
Maybe not so important there for the cooling given the ambients temperatures, but first snowbank kiss will surely block them up with snow, on the Toyota particularly?

I watched more than 20 videos on youtube from people filming from Monte Carlo, they all have more than 30k views each (more or less) and everybody seems very positive about the cars. Some short clips from the cars on electric engine and then such an awesome sound when it turns the ICE engine on. Nice!

For the safety of the championship it would be good to have four brands in case one quits. And more manufacturers means more paid seats for drivers.
But for competition aspect, I agree that less can be more. It's easier to follow a competition of 10-15 high-level cars compared to having Rally2 as the main class with possibly 50 cars starting so you would have to wait two hours to find out who actually won the stage (and changing stage conditions could start making properly a difference)

It could allways be better, but compared to the "golden eras of Group B/A" it isn't all that bad. In those times it was quite common to have just 6-8 serious works cars at an event.

Right now I'd rather something like... If in 2023 someone like Kimi Raikkonen could start his IceOne team racing with two 2022 Yaris, since Toyota will probably build new cars for 2023. If Petter Solberg could enter a two Hyundai 2022 car team, since they will probably build new cars. If ProDrive could buy latest versions of the Puma and enter a new team. I think this could be morr healthy than more actual manufactures. I want more drivers, not brands
