If they had a remote service on saturday the gap in the afternoon wouldn't be so big. I think drivers don't like long days mostly because in the evening they don't have time for checking the onboards and notes of the stages for the next day.

I think the sunday leg is too short
I also dont like this WRC format with very short Sunday. To say in short, Sunday is made only and for powerstage...Quote:

I actually like this format. Sunday is short, yes, but everything is already decided on saturday on most of the rallies.
The only thing I would change is to have more variety between rallies, in lenght, as well as toughness or stages and so on...
Sunday is good to be short and end quickly so the spectators/teams/drivers/dogs can return home early relax and start dealing with the problems Monday brings in a better way.
Everything decided on Saturday because of too short Sunday?Quote:

I remember when cars cruised even in the 80īs on Sunday, but later on things changed when Sunday leg went longer. I would presume same thing happens if when longer Sunday leg. Ogier canīt always be in the lead for 2 mins every Saturday evening?
I understand what you mean Rallyper, math is on your part but in that case you will have to sacrifice kms on friday and saturday and I actually prefer to have two full days full of actions like it is now.
