    Is the roughness of this rally interesting for you? IMO they don't have enough top cars for this kind of event. I also don't understand why they give out points for top10, so you could get points by losing more than 20min.
    No it isn’t interesting, every time this rally takes place I just hold my breath how many cars will survive

    Also, the itinerary is basically the same every year

    I would prefer Argentina instead of it or second winter rally somewhere

    It should make the tyres more expensive (mainly for privateers). And thanks to the punctures (and possibility of punctures), it is more interesting.

    Impressive drive, but i guess he answered whether the new Skoda could be good on the tight and twisty stages too.

    Also shout out to Formaux for being within touching distance of the WRC2 lead with the Fiesta.

    TIGHT!

    Seems there is a lot of things to work on to improve the car, not a single stage without a problem according to Ott https://twitter.com/msportltd/status...C1kV5QC61vX5Xg
