    Believe me, the marshalls are already doing that...

    The rally structure would have to be changed into something like Rally Finland Friday last year where you did double runs on three stages within the morning leg, and then double runs on three other stages in the afternoon. That way, you could have the historics do the morning stages after the WRC cars. But would that be interesting for the spectators anymore?

    Why they just don't do the historic event anymore?

    Money.

    Money from entry fees.

    Money from spectator tickets because of extra interest.

    Etc. etc.

    Sane reason basically every WRC event does it (historics, national event etc)

    Normally historic rally should be separate from the the wrc event, like Monte Carlo historic. But I guess it comes down to money indeed. Save from organizing another rally and gain from 2 in 1. The strange thing is that snowy conditions make it really bad for wrc runners.

    I doubt Wales would be financially viable without the National event that runs alongside it. The National event is also used as a means of keeping the spectators in one place all day as much as possible. Im sure the same with Sweden.

    I've been in Monte twice and Sardinia 4 times never seen historic or other championship between legs. Are they an exception?

    The historic part was NOT the problem. It is to make an event out of it for the spectators and bringing in good money for the rally to survive. Finally we have a great winter rally. Why are reporters not asking Ogier what he would do about the problem? Why not again make a qualification out of the SD or combined with the SD so that the quickest can choose first, next quickest to choose second, etc... Never understood why they went away from this system. Like this the SD/qualifying would also welcome a bunch more spectators and it would be interesting for everyone and exiting to basically start the rally then and there. There is hardly any other Motorsport where there is no qualifying.
    Have a great day, Rob
