Again this is a different era & level of competition and of-course a different rally but you also have to remember that the difference today between the R5 cars and WRC cars is much bigger than the S1600 & WRC cars back then. Also for Lappi, he isn't in the strongest team (as Ogier was back then). So please cut him some slack, it's only his first proper rally, give him some time until you start slamming him with "compliments".
How can you say that a purpose-built NAE FWD car was more similar to a WRC car than a 4wd purpose-built car? One that on a good day, good stage and good driver can be really quick,k even WRC quick.
