speed has nothing to do with breaking the car on those stupid roads...
Yet I reckon the Safari would be even rougher, but most would love to see that return. The championship rounds are too similar. It's a good thing that the drivers have to drive to the conditions a little more, makes it more interesting.
Yes! This is one of the important aspects of rally for me.Quote:

I would welcome a safari like rally back because its a totally different event and the cars are also modified to an extent...
but to have a modern rally format event with just rough roads is stupid... its just a matter of luck who retires and who wins when there are stones everywhere.
NOT, you've been around to know this isn't going to come down to luck. I really don't think they are going to just go flat out at it. It will add an element of skill and endurance that we've been waiting a long time for. Yeah, I get the cars aren't modified, but the drivers will just have to deal with it.Quote:

In #RallyTurkey you really need good luck to avoid punctures!
Marked tyre on left is from @TeemuSuninenRac after puncture on SD. Tyre on right is from @SebOgier's Fiesta with no puncture

If you dont like Rally Turkey, tough. You can always go and find something else to do and let the rest of us enjoy it.
But it will be exciting and dramatic so I bet none of you will...
I was in Turkey two times, on Bosphorus Rally near Istanbul. And I must say I liked the stages a lot. I dont think it was so rough like this ones...
