The tractors in Finland were a totally different matter and the perfect illustration of a brainless rally innovation: chicanes are supposed to make stages safer, not more dangerous.

Besides, if we start to pick bizarre obstacles in order to get average Joe’s attention, we’ll end turning Rally into a Circus or a sort of Mad Max races (for that purpose Gymkhanas, Drift and RX were already invented…).
