Flattering words from Francois Delecour on the current state of R2 points to a winning formula.
The strength of the cars received a big nod from him, but it's his praise of the drivers which got me thinking how much has changed in the twenty-odd years since he left the prime stage. Today's driving is very much an exact science. Stray off the line and lose time. Or cook your tyres! There is less space to express yourself in the old-fashioned sense. Colin McRae exuberance just won't do today.
As for the cars, the chassis advancements and use of space-frames has transformed the two main categories a good deal. Don't think the tyres, and engine in R2, have been major fields of advancement though.

I still get confused when you say "R2" when referring to Rally2 because R2 still makes me think of a front-wheel drive car that we know now as Rally4. At least type Ra2 if Rally2 is too long, please
It's even worse with Rally1, R1 is close to a stock car, Rally1 has almost nothing from a stock car...

Richard Millener in denial it seems, at least publicly anyway.

Also to put it down to the drivers performance is both insulting to Fourmaux and generally unbelievable. Even those who aren't fans of Fourmaux would find it hard to believe Gryazin is 2-3mins faster than Fourmaux on pace alone.

Well he is right that it was not Skoda 1-2-3 since there was a Citroen and a Hyundai on the podium.
So Skoda was seemingly not massively faster than everyone.
But everyone including Skoda were massively faster than Fiestas.
