    2nd stage looks like the second half of Corte-Taverna, the stage that was fatal in 1986. But the tragedy happened on the first half.

    Are you talking about superstition here, or you believe the stage is dangerous? While stages can be classified based of risk factors, tragedy can happen everywhere.

    Just an interesting detail. I mean, Corte-Taverna was driven as it was until the 1990's and we didn't get more fatal accidents there, so obviously it's not a super dangerous road

    Still, wouldn't Ogier have had around the same, if not more time in the car before Monte, than Mikkelsen had when he started Germany?

    Don't worry, guys, Corsica has the lowest average speed in the championship, so it is definitely the safest possible rally.

    Unlike that stage in Sweden. Total deathtrap!

    https://www.motorsport-news.co.uk/ne...ship-revamped/ "The decision to reduce the number of rallies is born out of the desire to cut costs involved." Well, 150 000 GBP (roughly 170 000 euros) isn't cheap for 5 events, and it happens to be the same cost as this year for 6 events... Add the personal expenses and it'll cost around 200 000 euros to do the championship. Not very accessible for youngsters, you need huge backing and get almost no return from it.

    Yeah it's starting to fall apart again is the championship. Rob Duggan is a really talented guy who got shafted this year from what I can see despite supposedly having some of the prize paid for.

    Osian Pryce won the title last year and it's not really helped him kick on this year has it. Limited WRC2 'paired' outings with no testing is tough.
