Nice moment for sure and you can catch some of them for sure on a whole event- then let's see a tarmac WRC in Italy in North East region and we will compare after with some gravel event from the past.Quote:

Then remember Bulgaria WRC round some year ago....was spectacular?
Other example Aquie Term region in Italy was part of SanRemo end of 90's for sure some Italyan guy remember to that here in the forum - if they will chose such tarmac stages I will like it.
What is the problem now - the cars or the roads, or everything? If spectaculat for you means swaying cars that slide around, you should change the sport. On tarmac rally spectacular is to watch the cars being tamed with least time loss to brake properly, to find the best lines without losing the weight balance, etc. Many differences can be found even on a single fast/flat corner (of course if you know what to look for). For me it is 100 times more interesting to watch Basso keeping the car like train on rails instead of some clown who pulls the handbrake on every second corner.
There was ONE canceled stage in last FIVE years of Monte Carlo and it was due to obvious reason. There is number of canceled stages in every season of WRC but You don't mind that elsewhere as it seems.Quote:

I hate this, Rally NZ every year! And I live IN Australia!!
Rally NZ pushes for three-year WRC contract - Speedcafe
This article includes a quote from the NZ Chairman that seems to suggest that they were dumped from the calendar, and that they've come up with this 3-year rotation idea, but that no-one else seems keen on it....
Read back - I said the gravel more spectacular for average Joe and for promotion if the tarmac dry and clean . Sure I like also gravel more maybe it's coming from the fact that I have/had always some camera in front of my head and gravel more picturesce. No problem for me if we have different views the life is like this and it's good.Quote:
