Do we know if Tanak will get a Rally2 car for Rally Estonia (ERC)? Cuz Hyundai can do that, eh?

Yes, in case there is interest from Rally1 teams there is a "loophole" in the regulations, that they can be there. Also, in the way, one driver can do Saturday and another driver Sunday. It was explained by Aava during press conference. But please don't expect me to explain the loophole

Awesome!.... Tho I'd rather see him driving a Rally2 as a one-off for ERC. Lets see how it goes

According to this article, the drives between ,,half-seasoners'' divide like that..
https://www.rallit.fi/esapekka-lappi...auden-ohjelma/
Mikkelsen:
- Monte-Carlo
- Croatia
- CER
- Japan
Sordo:
- Portugal
- Sardegna
- Acropolis
Lappi:
- Sweden
- Kenya
- Poland
- Latvia
- Finland
- Chile
Although I don't understand the point of Sordo doing 3 rallies only.. better let Mikkelsen get used to the car or give Suninem a chance. I doubt they would do worse on these rallies.
But okay, I'm not the team principal and don't decide anything

Mikkelsen said in an interview he had contract for 5 rallies, all tarmac rounds and one that was not decided.
I would expect Acropolis as the most likely candidate, based on his recent performance there.
But so far I don't quite understand their approach with him. Suninen got a test rally before his starts on both tarmac and gravel last year + test days and he also tested at end of 2022. Mikkelsen got 1 day test.
What did they then expect vs guys with 20+ starts in Rally1? (even Fourmaux had 12 and Munster 2). Note that Evans used like half the season to get used to Rally1 and Sordo somehow never really managed it.
Most likely explanation was that Mikkelsen was just told to finish (a bit like Lappi in Japan).

Yes, Mikkelsen was told to finish and get to know the car. They also tested setups.
Hyundai also "sacrified" his gravelcrew to give Neuville and Tänak optimal information, don't know how?

Great speeds. Did you miss WRC machinery on these roads?
