    Actually they were all a bit different versions using partially same road but having different sections and turning to different directions from some junctions

    You will have 1 dead per rally if you do that. At least.

    No, You won't. Such arrangement while not ideal is used quite often in national events and even in some international ones. I'm pretty sure some IRC/ERC events had the same stages in different direction one day and another day. Here in CZ parts of some stages are used in different direction in Rally Hustopeče for example (again in different leg). Even Barum sometimes uses same road for shakedown and than in opposite direction as part of one stage (not in last two years but before it was sometimes like that).

    On the other hand I agree that if such scenario is run in just couple of hours it would be pretty difficult to make new taping, move all spectators, beertents etc. to new safe areas (I don't think that You can create a universal setup for both directions) and to clean some dirt from cutting in opposite direction.

    You are right. Every run of Ehikki had a bit different length. Stage 3, 29 and 46.

    No it won´t, they have to go back to SS anyway...
    and even if it does, it´s not a bad think. Rally should be more driving, less PR stuff.

    Looks like WRC Poland and Finland is now confirmed for Teemu Suninen (no Sardinia). He says it’s going be difficult due to lack of test days.

    Just adding that those two WRC starts were confirmed for him from the beginning of the season, it was just unsure whether he would drive also Sardinia or not, and now it turns out he's not.

    Nasser Al Attiyah made the competition debut of the Fiesta R5 Evo 2 and was fastest on every stage at the MERC Jordan Rally, winning by over 16 minutes, some four seconds a kilometre ahead of the Mitsubishi opposition.* *

    “I tried to go flat out on one stage to see if I could beat the time I set in the stage last year in the Skoda, but I had the same time to the second,” he reported
