Rally France (tour de Corse) 2016

[SubaruNorway]

The first was quite long I think which makes the 2 stages half of saturday ones, which is normal for current format 2 and half days.

That's true but why spend a whole extra day at a rally when you're only able to watch 1 stage, 5 stages in total.

This is the only issue from a spectators point of view. Even with 10 stages, for the most part you're not seeing any less than you would at Rally GB for example. Two stages a day apart from the Sunday obviously.

I would love to go to Corsica but I always just wonder whether it's worth the hassle.

I'm getting to 8 stages on GB, 4, 3 and 2

Edit: 9 stages

I agree there should be more stages. But anyway I wonder if it's worthy, because they all look the same actually - lot of corners and nothing else.

4, 3 and 2 = 9!!
Good luck with 4 on Friday or do you have a helicopter arranged? 2,2 and 2 for me plus shakedown ( or you may not see the wild guys!).
3 on Saturday must mean Chalmondley is included - hope you have your rugrat repellent, they'll be swarming!

Guys, in recent WRC history Corsica has never had too many stages. For years they had 12 stages in total. Think it was split 4-4-4. The most they've had in 20 years or so has been 18 stages but then the competition distance was close to 500km.

Never was any good in maths Myherin and Dyfnant is about 1 hour apart right so that should work for Friday. Pantperthog twice to Aberhirnant which is about 45min away maybe works if you just stay for a few 2nd run on Pantperthog. Haven't seen Chalmondley Castle so don't know if it's worth going to, but probably not

For that he would have to be registered earlier, wouldn't he?

Registered for series? No

Before Wales entries closed? Yes

They enter rally by rally, just putting cross in "WRC2" box in entry paper. But I don´t believe M-Sport is playing that kind of game.

Interesting how few WRC drivers actually failed to complete the whole route. When was the last time that happened?

I like the long stages, gives it another element. However I agree there should be more. Just because you have 2 long stages, doesn't stop you putting a couple of short ones in there too. Afterall there is long liason sections to next service/tyre stop. Why not have another stage along the way?

Also, I think that they didn't need so many tyre change opportunities. Push them a bit more to manage tyres and make them last more than one stage on Sunday for example.

I would still love to enter Corsica, one day. However only being able to afford to rent an R1 car would make it rather less enjoyable I suspect!

Good luck with that man. More power to you if you can pull that off.
