Well it's a bit bad that top of Rally2 is turning into a Fabia cup. Hyundai is basically missing, Gryazin gave up on Polo and sadly didn't go for Citroen.
Ford only has Cais ( why no Huttunen?).

Calm down. Not everybody wants to do Monte.
Huttunen, Suninen, Paddon and Østberg likely starting their season later.

I imagine Gryazin has one eye on a new Fabia for mid 2022.

Hopefully.

Also seems like Suninen was testing but is not entered?

SS5+8 and power stage share same ending.
SS4+7 direction is weird

[tommeke_B]

For SS4/7 there are two possible reasons I think. Maybe some safety concerns? If SS 4/7 would be reversed, it would be completely downhill all the way from the start to the finish, with an average descent of 6,2%. Maybe there were too many dangerous places towards the end in case of the downhill direction... The other possible reason is that TV-wise the time between SS3 & 4 would be too short if they ran them "in line".
