Good. I hate those little four-kilometre sprint stages around city streets that are filled with chicanes and hairpins and are designed to emphasise spectator accessibility over challenging, competitive stages.
Perhaps the FIA should introduce a rule whereby all rallies must ave one stage that is at least fifty kilometres long.

Quite poor itinerary (for spectators) compared to how it was this year.

Indeed a bit poor program. Friday finishes by 1400-1500 and Saturday does not even start until 1100. This just to go to Lisbon and back for 3km street stage... I hope to see this kind of stages start to be removed from events, they do not contribute much in my view. Does the street stage in Lisbon gather big crowds, like France this year?

It was only about a kilometre long and featured a roundabout for the cars to do a donut around (ugh!), but it really revved the crowds up.
So if I was organising a rally, the first thing I would do is find a nice, large, open area where spectators could arrange themselves and see plenty, kind of like Walters' Arena. I'd start the cars at one end and encourage the drivers to put on a bit of a show, but with none of the pressure of a timed run. The, when we get out into the forests, the serious business begins.
