No Great Orme this year. Change of FIA rules about a completely tarmac stage in a gravel leg bot allowed anymore. As great orme was stage 1 of leg one with the rest of the stages in that leg on forest roads it is no longer allowed.

Sometimes the rules are strange.

Does this also affect super specials? What about Portugal?

Not quite true.
Anything can happen in terms of tarmac stage such as Great Orme, you just have to get a waiver from the FIA.

M-Sport/ Ford have been testing using a 'simulator' in the USA. They say its helped improve the Puma Rally1 car, especially for tarmac. Does anyone know what this simulator could be like ? Story...
