Meeke probably had some knowledge, but I reckon Latvala or Miikka must be at the very top of the workmanship standings.

On an unrelated note, I'm very excited about this rally. It's exciting to see an endurance race once again, even if it means few WRC cars at the end. It's a proper race against everything and was sorely missed in the WRC. However...

I'm against this rally counting towards JWRC. WRC drivers are more experienced and their cars much stronger than the R2 cars. For a junior title to be decided by luck, especially when in a championship where, with so few rallies, every rally counts, is almost cruel when you consider that many of the young drivers have placed their career hopes on a JWRC season. I'd have much rather put a rally decided on pace as their finale.
