When I said proper Rallies I meant no Repeated Stages, more varied stages, spread out, instead of the same stages just repeated in the afternoon.

To me one of the problems is the question of speed. For pure speed there are many other motorsport varieties, starting from drag racing to F1, Nascar.....
Rallying is not just speed, that's why IRC or S2000 doesn't have to be necessarily boring for being slower. I'm sure a Fiat Punto S200 is faster than a Escort Mk2 but for some reason that's the type of driving we miss from WRC, I like cars being thrown into corners, scandinavian flicks, big powerslides and of course I miss the times when rallies were longer and had night stages. I know things evolve and there's no point in living in the past, but there has to be a place in the middle between rallying in the 70's and WRC nowadays.There WAS nothing like rallying, Superrally is a joke!

Yes but it's not the WRC so it must be great. Everyone says the WRC sucks so it must suck and the IRC must be better of course
Rule 1 of the forum, always accuse anyone who disagrees with you of bias.I would say that though.
