    Rally Finland Clerk of the Course Kai Tarkiainen talking about shortening the rallies. He wants to keep the endurance element. Also, if rallies are shortened, he would prefer driving from Thursday to Saturday over Friday to Sunday. Also, he says Tour de Corse is the rally that is most keen on arranging a shorter rally already next year.

    There's also talk about the Rally Finland route which is published near the end of February or begin of March. Less chicanes than last year, some new roads.

    TdC already only has 10 stages. There's awfully little to take away.

    TDC is already one of the most pointless events in the calendar, in (a distant) spectators point of view. They already have RMC, based in France...would prefer to see another event or a more normal version of TDC.

    12 this year. Maybe they would like to have the same length event but on a tighter schedule, so we could have more of the marathon stages in one day?

    Just make one 100km stage ran once in the morning and once in the afternoon. Nature of the local roads should allow it though, don't know if their tyres would last.

    The last stage of Tour de Corse 1986 was Liamone - Suaricchio, 83 kms, probably containing parts of this year's SS9 and last year's SS1. Winning stage time one hour seven minutes.

    This is for all events after a regulation change for 2018 "Tyres used during the shakedown will not count in the overall quantity for the rally. For WRC Cars, the four tyres used during the shakedown must be from the same compound, as defined by the tyre suppliers"
