[WRC] 70th Rally Finland 2021

[Danny0405]

Ok, maybe I do not evaluate well the Polo because I do not follow very precisely most of the national championships (except the main ones).

For me, the car was average (not awful but probably a disappointment with the expectations due to the VW WRC era + Skoda experience and the fact that it was supposed to to replace Skoda which stopped its development on the Fabia) with some reliability issues. Finally, the Fabia is still the most consistant car in the class according to me (and they will make new developments in 2022 apparently) and between the Citroen, the Polo, the Hyundai and the Fiesta, there is no big gap (maybe the Hyundai and the Fiesta are a little less efficient considering the results but it is complicated to say because you must take into account the quality of the drivers in the mix).

So replacing a program with 2 Fiesta Rally2 drives + 1 WRC rally by a program with, at best, 2 outings in a Polo, could be strange.

But in the same time, the price is certainly not the same + considering the low performances of the Fiesta WRC in fast gravel, he may have wanted to avoid to drive it in Finland (because Estonia has been quite a bad operation in terms of reputation for Suninen)
