Hello Jorge. I can only speak for Germany as a competitor but was also very
familiar with the US 2014 WRTC. Other than any possible equipment malfunction,
which you can never rule out, I believe virtually all competitors would say
that they had equal locations and situations in every aspect. I know that I
feel that way from Germany 2018.

It’s almost impossible that “everyone is in the same situation”, nor in Italy
