Really? For me it was actually the first WRC rally that I enjoyed since forever. I even showed live broadcast from 2 stages (on Saturday and Sunday) on TV to my father. He is over 80 years old and he enjoyed it too. He was shocked when he saw Solberg attacking the fence after offroad on Saturday, but he loved it

It was entertaining. But, you gotta imagine how much better things could have been if Rally 1s didn't exist. Think about 40 crews in similar cars battling it out, with local stars down the order getting a real shot at the win through conditions improving and even a crew from a lower category imitating Group N and F2 of yesteryear and putting surprise times left and right.The headlines write themselves . The old "Toyota vs Lancia" battle revived. Citroen and Ford being able to challenge for the overall. Even Hyundai could have a shot. And even if Skoda didn't do much here, they would have been a force in upcoming events.Not pulling the trigger in making Rally 2 the top class is bitting WRC in the ass.

You have to take it as it is and enjoy the rise of a new star in Oliver Solberg. Even if they were all in Toyota's it was still a great thing to see the youngster taking on and beating the established stars of Ogier and Evans on his first event in the main team. Nobody has missed Rovanpera and only really Estonian's badly missed Tanak here.

Hyundai and M-Sport weren't competitive for various reasons but the Rally1 cars are still good to watch for the fans. We will miss the spectacle when they're gone.

And the rally itself with the conditions made it way more interesting and exciting than the dry editions of recent years. It was a classic and should be appreciated.
