    Stunning images as always from Azores.

    Please Azores people do everything you can to keep this rally there. I want to visit it but this year is not possible!

    About half of the special the stage passes in the upper part of another lagoon.

    Nice no?
    Is this a new version of a stage called "Sanguinhal/Lagoa de São Brás - 19,08 km" used in 2001?

    EDIT: Of course it´s a new version because is shorter, but the new stage uses new roads like that one near the big lagoon?

    Is much different. The stage used in 2001 began where it will end now, more or less. In 2001 the cars passed in the Lagoon of Sao Bras in the opposite direction and continue on the road (now on tarmac) that this year will serve as a liaison to the beginning of the stage. I'll see if I can find videos from the stage in 2001.

    Yesterday I went to a meeting in Grupo Desportivo Comercial. The stupid chicane "City Stage", it will be called "City Demo" because the FIA didn't want the name "stage" on something that will not count to classification.

    City stage, city demo, mikey mouse stage, for me is all the same.

    This kind of event do not bring anything new and the risk component is always associated.
