    Two days is enough?

    With the way the championship is now (unfortunately quite boring and predictable) and what we saw by accident in Argentina do you think that two days of competition would be enough for a WRC event? There could even be a poll on the subject?

    Maybe one day is an option. One day of SS's and 4 days of marketing activities
    Three gears are enough!

    Actually i am in favour of 2 days of competition....what i would like to see is a set of early morning stages and a set of late afternoon-night stages....i would prefer to see 10 stages per day in a 2 day event than 4-6 stages per day in a 3 day event.

    I prefer 3 days in a event as you can avoid the weekend crowds on Friday.

    The was talk of having two day events, thus freeing more days, for more rallies...

    There was definately too few stages. If they will only use two days (which I hope they do not) they must have many stages per day, starting early in the morning and finishing in the evening/night. Preferably they would do this for 3 days though...

    Being positive - shrinking events to two days, 10 stages with early morning and in the night would be good. By "losing" one day it saves teams 16 person hotel nights per calendar year. If you cut pre event testing as well it could add up to a significant saving in money.That saving could allow for fitting extra events into the calendar.

    I think it is cheaper that wrc event last longer than more shorter events because of transporting.. so i prefer longer events
    Waiting subbie to come back and maybe win:D
