Rally Ireland super special stage a bit far

[GigiGalliNo1]

I suspect you'll see much more of this in the future.

I think ISC aim to bring rally to more (and paying) fans by doing remote SSS in major cities. When I first heard of the Buenos Aires SSS, I thought, 'No way will that fly!' but it seems thoroughly well-planned and may be a big hit.

If it is, I'd not be surprised to see SSS in:

Stockholm (310km from Karlstad) or Gothenburg (296km from Karlstad)
Oslo (133km from Hamar)
Athens (well, duh)
Helsinki (274km from Jyväskylä)
Frankfurt (190km from Trier) or maybe Luxembourg?
Auckland
Barcelona

and so on over the next few years. Like it or not, spectators and fans are what make this possible, and I think we will see more promotion of remote SSS in the next few years. And really, Belfast to Sligo isn't such a trek, is it. 200km? Buenos Aires to Cordoba is 700km!

Even the V8 Stupidcars (that I don't think/care much of) have moved away from Auckland and everything (motorsport wise too) plus the WRC round is in Hamilton! A great location I must say!!

You think the 100+ miles trip for the rally ireland superspecial is bad! Try the 300-400 miles from Cordoba to Buenos Aires for the argentian superspecial tonight. Now thats a trek!

.... and look what's happened - it's screwed the whole of the Argentinian first leg for the sake of 2 minutes stage time in a football stadium.

Exactly, guess who is laughing

Well, even with all the fog in Ireland, they are probably not going to fly the drivers back to HQ, so they are fine compared to Argentina
