I mean today ceremonial start and SS1, it would be at 18:45 on LTV1...and then at 22:00 on LTV sport

Is it shakedown in Cyprus?

[OldF]

Looking at the itinerary it’s almost 50/50 gravel (51,6% = 96,74 km) and tarmac (48,4% = 90,84 km). This favour all surface drivers.

It's up to organizers, some rallies have it, some not.

It is not compulsory to have shakedown, but most of the events has it. Rally Cyprus is without shakedown.

It will be also a strategy play to do good with the tires, they'll use probably the whole rally with gravel tires so these tires will have a hard job to do on all those tarmac roads. Would there be crews that would put some sort of tarmac tires as a spare in the car? So they can use it in stages where tarmac is most superior? Or just 2 spare gravel tyres?
