The disabled access in a SSS is better than at most regular stages, plus it's nicer for the sponsors in their fancy suits / high heels than plodding through a forest.
If done properly, I've no real objection to an SSS opening/closing the event.
To be honest, I've got more issues with the rest of the event but then I'm probably still wearing my rose tinted glasses and remembering the good ol'days of Ari and Alen etc

I like the SSSs like NZ had last year and Norway this year - normal stage, just a little shorter and more accessible for spectators. Stadium stages are horrible.

Go! It would be cheaper to just rent a bunch of busses, and provide easy transport from every major city nearby, right to the heart of the stages. That way you show people truely what rallying is, and you show them how they can view the rally on their own. Or at least make a simple, short, spectatorstage. You know, closed roads, one car at a time, race against the clock. At least that is rallying. Oh, and only open an event with a Spectator stage, don't close it with a Spectatorstage please.
If you want to watch WRC(-like) cars competing head to head, go watch Rallycross.

I wouldnt mind them if they were close to Rally HQ and were after the event just as a bit of fun.

Get rid of the stadium stages, they're stupid. And if they're built specifically for a rally event I think it's missing the point of rallying.

Up until recently, SSS were ok, they were close to the service park, they weren't in a stadium etc etc. Now, they've gone too far. The idea of a SSS is to give access to people who wouldn't otherwise go into the middle of a forest to watch cars.
