That its stupid to do long liasons to Alghero and back during the day is correct. So let them do some extra stages , and than some service action in the stages region.
Also stages like Ittiri, or Monte Baranta, nice for spectators, and easy to fit in to such timing!
I still dont understand why they think that making events shorter and in a bigger hurry will make it better. All this is going against organisers, competitors and spectators. If you are find the money to come to the race abroad (and no matter if you are competitor or spectator), you want to enjoy it fully. WRC should be on higher level than national championships, you should feel you are on something better and you should enjoy it for few days... For example here on Sardegna, there are only two services. Do you think that mechanics of the teams would be happy to travel over the Europe to do only two services on the car? For most of the people around it is not normal job, but mainly passion. If they will stay at home, they will earn more money. But they are doing rallysport as they want to be part of that comunity, that it is something prestigious for them. But if you will cut all this enjoy, this people will stay at home next time. Is this really what we want?
