Here are videos on Youtube typical of the Beijing stages from 2009 with Jussi Valimaki. As per the rally guide map, stages G and H in either direction and sometimes F were used in previous Chinese Rally Championship events, with the service park at Baoshan where Remote Fuel will be in 2016. The other stages are new for 2016. Although Heilongtan has been used in the former Tour of Beijing ProTour Cycling, so there is online footage about that event if anyone is keen to check out that road.

That does not look like how I imagined a rally in China, if that makes any sense? Very wide and smooth roads, it will be hard for a driver to make a difference here... Ogier will probably win with half an hour lead lol.

As a solely CRC event, it was basically two stages, marked G and H, on the maps for this years WRC. Stage G is tight, twisty and winds up and over a range, while stage H is more open and runs down a valley. Also the map is typical of Chinese maps, not very detailed with all the actual turns and corners. Originally Posted by Lousada
Some of the stages are still the same as those used in 1999 however being close to the capital, rapid development has seen the roads improved immensely. Martin Holmes has just done a great interview with Adrian Stafford, former Clerk of Course for Rally Australia, who is assisting with the Chinese organisers. He states that the roads are 90% tarmac and 10% concrete surface for the event.

As they said considering China rally promoting factor to use this road sector as power stage.
Good thing:
China largest network TV platform LeTV will broadcast whole rally but not sure how many stages.
There are no need to argue about who care about this rally because LeTV will definitely try their best to make a good show along their products.
Cons:
The president of automobile LeTV is the man who was in charge of media promotion of China Rally back in 1999 =_=Last edited by shaitan; 7th June 2016 at 10:41.

Ma Qing Hua the Chinese driver who was WTCC team mate to Seb Loeb in 2014 & 2015 will compete in Rally China. Unclear at this stage in what car he will use or who his codriver will be.
To have one of China's most successful circuit drivers entering the event will mean significant increase in interest & coverage from mainstream Chinese media which can only be good for raising WRC's profile
