That is not true. 5 min penalty for changing the engine after scrutineering is gone. Rally1 cars also can change engine during the rally without penalty...
I would not count Evans and Rovanperä off anyway - they both are strong, especially Rovanperä. Every rally is new from setup-wise to work with Hankook, and we never know who figures it out fastest....
so Ogier and Tänak starting from zero after Ogier announced he will go for the title. for me those two are the favourites, they have been the class so far this season up to rally finland, yeah...
This command centre was nonsense from beginning...
