Rally Journal reports Evans had good testing and is happy with the car for the coming fast gravel.

But they quote Tanak as finding it quite tough to get a good set-up.

Which is totally understandable. Tänak talked about this after the South Estonian Rally. The "problem" is that this is the new-old Hyundai, and they don’t have a proper baseline setup for these fast gravel roads. Since Estonia and Finland are linked rallies, they needed to fix some settings for these two. The initial testing phase was simply about finding a baseline and general understanding where they are. From there, they began to build. So the testing in Finland, Estonia, and finally the rally itself was very important for the whole process. Now, Thierry and Adrien will also test some components, which will provide valuable feedback to the engineers. So what Tänak probably meant by calling this phase tough was that it was all very intense—they had so much to test and figure out in a short amount of time.

Regarding tickets, because my last rally findland is a few years back, is it still possible, like in the old NESTE rally days, to walk in buy tickets, maps and an official program directly in Jyväskylä or a nearby gas station? Or do we have to buy a ticket, maps and so on in advance, via the rally homepage. Thanks

In the last few years we always buy rally pass and program at the gas station St1 Mäntsälä. This is list of gas stations on instagram post from last year:

I have some doubts to him pointing at the tyres.
They provide grip or they don't, that's all there is to them. Him being slow doesn't seem to be the tyres fault.
