Hopefully after this season Finland will tie again with the rest of the world for world rally championships. It's 14vs15 at the moment after a couple of bad years.

Why did so many manufacturers pull out this year? Doesn't seem like a real WRC series now in a way....

It was a split hydraulics filter. Luckily it happened on the stage before the service area. Total domination again after that.
Pitty for Hirvonen and Tuohino for their technical difficulties.
