The cars aren't too weak, probably stronger than all previous generations. Drivers have to adapt. In Acropolis Rally the number of punctures and retirements was quite similar I think.

Tänak is gonna have a real hurry to regroup timing

Guys, I don't know the rules in such detail but if Ogier needs now a total engine replacement would it bring him any penalty also for the next event?

This is where Rally 2 is unfair - if you retire on day one or day two you can come back and fight on for points and the PS. But retire on day three you get nothing for all your effort.

indeed. those cars are mighty strong. it's just the drivers who are used to going flat out all the time.

Shouldn't, provided they have engine slots left (given how few rallies we've had, that almost guaranteed certainty).

17.2.3
When a car does not finish the Power Stage, an extra engine per car name may be allowed without incurring a penalty. No more than one extra engine per car name and per season may be sealed without incurring any penalty.

1. Evans : 70 + 25 = 95

2. Ogier : 79 + 0 = 79 (- 16)

3. Tänak : 66 + 0 = 66 (- 29)

4. Rovanpera : 55 + 10 = 65 (- 30)

5. Neuville : 42 + 18 = 60 (- 35)

1. Toyota : 137 + 25 + 12 = 174

2. Hyundai : 132 + 18 + 15 = 165 (- 9)
