[WRC] Rally Finland 2023

Competition is not in good situation...

... but for all who are playing this "make Rally2 as main category" - this rally is the best example from spectating difference, Rally1 are just so far away from Rally2 cars.

So what's the solution then? It's obvious that Rally1 is too expensive to be interesting for manufacturers compared to what they get out of it. It's also clear that it is way too expensive for privateers.

But, they are obviously too fast, we have Gr.B crashes every rally, luckily the security is at an extreme level.

No, these cars handle really well and are easy to drive.

Big shunts(I mean car destroyers) like we are getting these rally are rare in the last years. At least since Meeke retired.

Rally2 with Rally1 power. Cheap solution and easily doable.

Manhandling these beasts would be difficult with no aero and worse suspension.

so it seems neuville does have some extra speed, but he has just given up trying to fight kalle.

Neuville is in the "Win it or bin it" mode. Proper hound smelling blood.

Adding power will give enormous pressure to the mostly standard street car based Rally2 category cars. It doesn't work like that

I checked on ewrc-Results and saw the last time Evans won in a head to head was in Rally Turkey 2020. In any case, an interesting day in prospect.

Kris hasn’t retired. Actually he has just had an accident in the rally he is currently competing in and had to go to hospital so that comment is maybe a little insensitive. Not a lot of damage to his car but as we saw with Breen, doesn’t need to be.
His big accidents were with a poor handling car, he had a few in the Toyota but not particularly bad. Evans has had big accident this year, I’m sure there are others but it’s par for the course driving on the limit most of the rally as they are nowadays more or less sprints, not endurance events they used to be.

Dont worry here is the solution, the latest in car technology
