I have no issue with N.Ireland having the opportunity to host what is nominally Rally GB, but I do think if it becomes a tarmac rally it’s taking away an essential element of the WRC complete package. The WRC is the challenge it is because of the variety of conditions encountered, and Rally GB provides an outlier in that it is fast and wet/muddy.
It would like holding Rally Finland on tarmac...
I hasten to add that if it does end up being on tarmac in N.Ireland I will almost certainly still go and watch.
