What do you mean "done''? Traffic jams? Get used to it this weekend. Simply Mikolajki cannot take in those masses of people.

Virves and Kajto too... Virves was fastest WRC2 on Run #1.

This is completely unimportant. Shakedown is in these days not used for any testing, but only for going through. As the tyres used on shakedown are counted also for the rally, lot of drivers is starting on shakedown only because they must....

Use the resources to make a stage instead. It's stupid.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Kale isn't driving his car. He's driving Ogier's, which should be quite different setup wise. It's a mystery to see if and when he can adapt his style.

No need to do more runs.

1 run is mandatory, is it not?

I didn't say it was important. Although the SD is televised, the drivers interviewed and their times reported everywhere.

Sometimes it's useful if a driver hasn't had much practice or testing, plus it can be an indicator of how comfortable a driver is with his car.

Is stage delayed?
