I do agree with them and I enjoyed those several years with no superally at all. I traveled thousands of kilometers, stood there outside in cold but I have never thought that having a superally would make the rally better. Even though once we saw only 28 cars passing Turini on Midnight. Maybe the absence of superally added the special value to the moment - it made passing this legendary place something special. In the end it gave a moment of fame to otherwise invisible crews who normally can't do a shit against ever and ever restarting WRC cars.

I don't think Rally2 added some value at this year's event, Meeke continued only to hit more troubles, Hanninen was just cruising last 2 days.

I am totally against Rally2, SuperRally or something... Rally is speed, endurance and gestion.

Well it was a shame for us that stage 16 was cancelled. The marshalling was crazy with loads of whistling and no clear instructions, while a quick turn around between runs meant people changing position was always going to cause trouble. All the police seem to is stand around doing sweet FA or they go mental at people. Then some of the spectator points have been a joke, literally barely 6 feet wide. Rally Gbs pens are a luxury in comparison!!

Wouldn't this mean there was more pressure (and therefore more pain) in an accident..

Might be me, but I just thought they looked odd. (And the colour doesn't match too!)

For me as a fan of JDM scene, green TAKATA seatbelts in Yaris WRC are perfect match. ;)
