Guys, Mexican roads are not that rough, almost no ruts on second passes, etc. For cars biggest challenge is altitude and temperature, which combined with some very steep uphill and slow sections makes it difficult for cooling...
It looks like that because of so few participants, you had only few non WRC cars, couple of R5s and even less 2wd... So even with few cars going into problems you quickly have 10 cars without issues.
Roads are really nice and challenging, it's really interesting and challenging for engineers to adapt the cars to the conditions, people are very friendly and passionate, and really loads of them, I'm not sure if any other round has so many, so passionate people in service park, for sure not on start/finish ceremony... OK, this year organization made couple of big mistakes, they were little bit unlucky also. In general organization level is maybe little bit worse than on some other rounds, but in European rounds you also have a lot of issues...

No drivers named for Lancia, so not clear if there will be a "works" team or just cars available for privateers.
