Hence, there's far too much liaison between the stages. This has been a problem for many years, but hopefully now they have some incentive to actually fix it.
I was watching a classic rally the other day, I think Tour de Corse '85. Over 3 days, it was 1100 km of competitive stages and something like 500 km of liaison. That is the correct ratio, I think. What we have now must be hellishly boring for the drivers.

FRI 11:47 - LATVALA UPDATE
Kaj Lindström has also given an update on Jari-Matti: " We got a message that the right-front suspension is broken and he can’t continue. The damper is broken but we should be in a better position compared to Argentina because it sounds like it is just the damper. He said it was just a hole he went over and it broke the damper. We’ll have to check the on-board to make sure how it happened.”
FRI 11:43 - TÄNAK
WRC All Live caught up with Ott Tänak in the service park: “Obviously we have an engine issue, we had to stop on the stage and it wasn’t possible to continue. Basically we had a leak in the radiator after hitting a rock. It was interesting, a spectator point with lots of loose rocks. I don’t believe we will be back because the engine is broken.”

Interesting that Citroen have put all 3 crews on the same tyres, instead of hedging their bets and covering more bases. Must be pretty confident

Completely different tyre choices by Citroen and Hyundai
It was on qualifying stage, he rolled the car and it was said that he won't be able to start the rally. But team managed to repair the car and he did start and dominated drivers like Rossel, Gryazin...
