That would not help at all. Notice that 2 Turini stages went ok, if some fans decided to move they normally shouldn't be allowed to get anywhere near. Organisers supposed to prepared for that. The narrow aproach to Turini finish were closed from 13:00 till the end of the rally and there wasn't any problem with spectators.

That kind of is my point actually. The spectators watched these 2 stages ok. But for the 3rd pass (and weather becoming worse, top drivers retired), they've decided to go home, since already watched one night stage, and that was the problem I think.

EDIT, besides one more different stage nearby would reduce the traffic and spectators on just one stage.

If you do all stages only once, there will be even more traffic...

Let alone, that doing the stages only once, grows the cost for the organiser (different s.s. crews, chronos etc) skyhigh...

No repetition is not the solution... I 'd say that better planning and proactivity would really help...

yes,by the word ''slicks'' they mean the asphalt tyre,which rightly is not a slick tyre.Slick tyre is the type of tyre they use at circuits with full rubber thread.But plenty of people at rallies use to call them slicks,the asphalt pattern tyres

Of course this term can be stretchable - here Loeb meaned Super Soft tyres, on other Rallyes these would become Hard Tyres.

To me, at least, an 18-stage event in which stages are repeated several times is simply not how a World Championship rally should be.

and i think, there is a group of elites to recieve all those "archive" material, it is not for public! in time some spectators become youtube broadcasterers of sport as a result. which is good for the elites, so they don't need to worry about their plot.

Have you ever tried to go through such a huge amount of video in a very narrow time frame?
