    The wrc already has most of it's top rallies in the 'winter' months, they'd only change the start and end points of the championship.

    Winter rallies

    I agree with all your comments SAL ,rallying is boring because the followers cant get near their "superstars",and its all repeat stages.Bring back the old 3 day 2 night rallies of yesteryear,They are sprint events now !

    I think that Cyprus has done something special for rally. Mixed surface, some long and demanding stages and only one stage repeated on gravel (all tarmac stages are repeated). I am really looking forward to this event.

    Depending on how many tarmac stages vs gravel stages there are Id proably put my money on Hirvonen's 1st pass stage speed vs Loab's to win.
    That is assuming that Loab doesnt just blitz everyone by 1minute or more on the tarmac.

    As for the change in season start, hmm im not convincedtheres any real reason to do it. The more I think about it the more reasons I can think of for being against it. Having said that, Im not really all that fussed about the season results anyway as we all know whos going to win.

    well.. if loeb takes one minute advantage after first day and he wants to win, then he has to be first on the road all the time.. only one small stage is repeated. And remember.. they are using gravel setup and tires on tarmac. that is very spectacular! At leas Dani was.. while testing

    More winter rallies is ok by me, but it might turn into specialist drivers on bothe calendars. And that has as with everything else positives and negatives !

    The best thing will be more rallies in winter time (different surfaces), not more winter rallies!
