I think this part is rather important. One can understand it as one or both of:
a) The drivers did a bad job at developing the car/ providing feedback/ testing
or
b) The value of repeated runs of short test sections where drivers know every stone is limited - This would also explain why some people were so sure Citroen would decimate all after looking at their test vids in December.

Teemu Suninen new leader of WRC2!
I don't necessarily think this is the case. Can't really describe it, but there is something fundamentally missing from Rally that was there a decade ago. Maybe its the cars, the shallow competition,...
The cars are uglier, that's true. I think I agree with all those 3 factors.
