Also I agree with others that people at Service Park are not how you measure a rally success, even if I think that Olbia and surrounding stages are better and can provide more closeness with the SP.
At stages is always full of people much more than a lot of others rallys, that's where you call a success.
On the other side I think that if you move WRC in the mainland you will have much more fans. I think the heart of rally in Italy is in the center/north of the mainland but the federations there have not enough money to organize a WRC rally. Anyways if there is a place in Italy where WRC should be hold is up there.
Regarding logistics I fully understand the teams. I live in the mainland but I occasionally go to Sardinia because my parents and some old friends live there and it's very difficulty to do it for me as a private traveller, with no more than a luggage with me. I can imagine it's a nightmare for teams, also in terms of costs.
Unbelievable end to the rally. Right at the finish line. The emotion, intensity from fans and driver, I can’t describe the feeling being there.

I would completely support an event with nightmarish logistics if it brought something unique and desirable. Safari? Yes. Azores? I'm Sold. Sardinia? Well...Quote:

It's in the middle of the Mediterranean, right next to Corsica. I guess it's hard on the cars? But not exceptionally hard, the way Acropolis was. Sardinia back to back with Portugal reminds me of when we had Alsace back to back with Germany.
its very easy to support something without having to organise it or finance it...Quote:

Even Corsica is too similar to Corsica right now IMO.Quote:

I know some people think its more exciting to watch 3 short stages than one long one, but if you feel that way you can just watch the split times from the long stage. ;)
As long as they shuffle events a little bit that could be awesome. Not year after year the same story. I don't like Turkey being even on calendar but on the other side it will be interesting to watch after long time that something new is in the game.
Could the Sardinian organisers work at deal with the San Marino Rally Legend to alternate years?

I don't think that is realistic. Rallylegend is already very crowded with lots of traffic and people between the stages and everywhere, with WRC it could be much more crowded. IIRC one of the reasons Sanremo was replaced with Sardinia was that the roads in the area couldn't handle the amount traffic generated by spectators driving between the stages.Quote:

Happy to have ticked this event off - especially given it won't be around much longer.

Nice photos 👍
No I haven't, that's why I asked. I assume as a novice, that the time card was there in the beginning of rallying so that you could easily compile stage times to a rally time and determine the winner.Quote:

Today when we have fancy timing equipment and live updates and all the times going into databases almost instantly, does the time card actually mean anything? Again, asking as a novice. How is it used?
