Two days is enough?

Forget about the number of days, it the competitive mileage which counts. Lets start by getting rid of multi use stages as well, some ralles seem to consist of no more than 6 "real" stages.

Really good post about this subject!

Excellent idea.

How about a calendar which has:

12 rallies (IMO that is reasonable)
2-day events (Saturday, Sunday)
20 stages across the rally (10 per day... should be at least 10 actual stages rather than re-runs)

Now of course, this probably won't resolve the mentality that "Rally is boring" and probably won't make a championship interesting, but it would be doing the sport's financial half some benefit - and if the fans like it, then that would just be an added bonus. JMO.

Agree with the 12 rounds, not sure about 2 days though. Don't give them ideas though, soon it'll be one day with one stage, over 2 hours...

That is very good point.

That is very good point.

It is, but, unless the FIA change their policy on compact 'cloverleaf' routes I can't see them getting rid of multi use stages. Something has to be done, because each Rally is the same; 3 stages, service, then a repeat of same stages, Wow, Great!!! Let's have some variety, please!!!

I don't know if two days is enough...

but I know that three gears is enough!

Let's not forget that this would then require more marshalls and it's not always easy task to do.
