Yes, they are less than interesting events, but tough, it's meant to be a test of all round driving ability. Not only that, there does seem to be a lot of rough, Mediterranean type events. Mini rant over.....

Don't badmouth gravel! You'll have the uncouth Australian and his son in here telling you to ****ing pull your head in :p

If thw WRC remained on its current trajectory you could see them saying 'we're going to do away with tarmac events so the teams can save money by not buying tarmac rims'.

I love gravel, I really do.

Acropolis, Turkey, Cyprus, Sardinia, Jordan - all very similar - however, Acropolis is a classic. You should have a mix of fast gravel, slow gravel, rough gravel, etc

Hey, but what do I know? The WRC is such a staggering success I'll shut up.....

I agree :)

I simply don't get where all these Mediterranean events came from :mark:

I thought the WRC was trying to broaden it's appeal and not turn into the Med gravel championship. Where is the event in Africa? The event in Asia and a North American event?
