It was a real adventure for those taking part, but it simply isn`t possible to run such events any longer. And therefore ìt won`t happen.

There are traditionalists in all sports. Cross country skiing is a big sport in my country. There are still many who can`t stomach a 50 km event run in loops of 7,5 km and with all skiers starting together. In the "good all days", the skiers just disappeared into the forest for a 25 km loop and was on their own for nearly 90 minutes before they came back. Sure, that was better than seeing the skiers into a stadium for every 20 minutes....

This is modern days rallying, guys, just accept it. Cloverleaf is not that bad!
Not sure I agree with that. Cloverleaf is okay for some events, but not for all. Every event should be different; 2,3,4,5 day events - some 250 miles, others 300, 350, 400. What we need is some variety. This isn't F1 - trying to make it like F1 has ruined the sport.
