after Suninens out from M-Sport, will there be a replacement for Acropolis?

Lukyanuk would be a good replacement.

No replacement I think, it’s better for M-Sport to save money now as they have nothing more to play in both driver and team WRC-2 championship.
All the more than Gryazin will be there for 2 rallyes (including Greece) even if it is officially under Movisport registration and they have Kristensson + Prokop also so they can end the season properly with at least one on each rounds.
The only replacement that could have made sense would have been to give the seat to Lappi for the end of the season (beginning by Greece and then Finland) as he is free and still in title contention if he makes the last 4 rallyes. But considering the fresh relations between Lappi and M-Sport and the fact that Lappi will not pay to drive for 4 rallyes (and may even want to get paid), I think it will not happen. But clearly, it would have been a good deal: some drives for Lappi to keep some habits because he has not seriously drive since Portugal and a chance to win RC2 rallyes for M-Sport.
So clearly difficult end of season for M-Sport (and the season was quite bad globally in Rallye2, there are not even more the second best car on this market)Last edited by Danny0405; 29th August 2021 at 23:10.

It's 12mins walk from the last hairpin of ss2 to 1st km of ss3 and there is a shortcut there to go. So, you can catch about 8-9 first cars at ss2 and go to ss3 and see them all. You park at the end of ss2 and you see most of wrcars 3 times. You can find interesting spectators points at both stages near the access road.

Not test for Fourmaux for Greece as M-Sport has other priorities with him (Greensmith will make some tests).
He is not 100% sure he will make all the four remaining rallies with the RC1 car

Not sure if I read it like that.
Anyway for Finland it might not be very necessary for Forumaux to drive WRC since that's where less aero for next year will make most difference.
But there aren't many drivers who have time and opportunity to drive instead. If we disregard Lappi, the only one is Gryazin. In that case Wilson is very brave with his repair budget.

When I go to WRC event, I want to see the best drivers as always. If I want to see some national drivers, I can go to some other less popular event.. Just simple.
