With Rally Finland now behind us, time to discuss an issue that is irredeemably changing our sport.

Ouninpohja, the only stage on the final day, accounted for 10 of 35 available points - 23km of road accounted for 28.5% of Kalle Rovanpera's total haul of points!!!

Changes to our sport are inevitable. But are we going too far?? Jonne Haltunen praised this move, but I felt a bit sad that we are losing some of rallying's enduring charm. As a fan with rally memory from the late 70s, I try not to let nostalgia cloud modern-day realities. The increasing drive towards narrower and narrower formats, though, feels wrong. Subjective word there, but there must be many who feel the same.
