I don't think either Lindholm or Suninen have a chance for open title, since they are not entered for Ypres and doubt they are going NZ/Japan. This means they will only do 6 rounds.

Anyway seems Hyundai is now competetive on all surfaces (slow/fast gravel and tarmac (see Italy)), which is good.

Regarding team championship, note the terrible season from Bulacia with 5x0.
