(Believe it or not) Driving with spikes is also very similar to various types of gravel.
And with this reasoning, I think Monte is more specific also for most drivers.
i was comparing them with other wrc rally's, not with every single rally on the planet. for fins, finland is not special. for mexicans, mexico is not special, ...

gravel and asphalt are the usual surface in the wrc. snow, and asphalt with snow are the exceptions.
