If something, then it was that 6 km of unploghed snow and the question, whether WRC priority cars should contest together with historic class, as they are too different and create a big mess. Big effort from drivers, mechanics...teams in general, lots of money spent, stupid fans across the world calling them worthless, car brand worthless etc. Now that`s not honest.
I've said it earlier this weekend, and I'll happily say it again. The historic class is irrelevant when it comes to Ogiers constant complaining. He complained just as much about the second runs in 2016. That year there was zero historic cars, and only five 2WD cars. He was complaining about exactly the same then. That the later cars were doing different lines and making grooves and making it impossible to run first.
This year we had JWRC in Sweden, so that would've been a huge issue for Ogier regardless.
Also, only five 2WD cars in 2016 wouldn't have the power or weight to completely mess with the lines, so it must be the slower 4WD cars as well. In 2016 there were only 50 entrants. So outside WRC and WRC-2 there wasn't too many cars.

So I guess in the end, for Ogier to be happy you'd need to have 20-25 cars max. in Rally Sweden. Only the top WRC and WRC-2 guys.
Oh... and with Ogier running as number 4,5 or 6. As later than that might be troublesome with ice-dust making it slippery for later starters and then possible ruts.
