Anyway, during this long break, they have already done testing, I think most of them go for the rally and speed.

Tanak and Toyota don't need more testing on Finnish roads since they test there all the time with "unlimited" test days and since it's his local rally he will go for win.

All the other teams have very limited testing on similar roads. They have to use test days for that and historically have been reluctant to do that "only" for one event. So they go to Estonia mainly for testing which the event (schedule) is specially made for. Hence they will not care about fight for positions. Though for sure they will try to use others as a reference for evaluating setup changes.
