No, but does that make my opinion invalid? I've visited a large number of events in my relatively short life, of which some WRC events (Finland, Sweden, Portugal, Sardinia, France and Germany). We drove many stages, in order to find nice places to spectate, and you must be blind to not see how the stage is, what's difficult about it etc. It's even not so difficult to predict places with a high crashing-chance, unless you are blind. :)Quote:

You can fancy your tarmac as much as you like but my opinion still stands. Tarmac is for circuit racing, gravel is for rallying.
I never said anything about tarmac not being difficult or challenging. But Tarmac is not a proper rally surface.
Its too different from gravel and snow and imo tarmac have no place in rally.
Tarmac also usually means too much grip and then the next hundred of second there is no grip at all causing the car to go out of control.
I also would like to see sources that rally started on tarmac, perhaps for rally in southern Europe while Northern Europe more likely had
their rallies on gravel roads already in the beginning since there weren't much tarmac roads up here during those times.
Questionable. In reality it's just another event. By the end of this year it'll be just a fond memory like a pair of old slippers. In 3 years time no one will remember let alone care.Quote:

That's why it is as difficult as other surfaces. Asphalt driving in changing conditions require no less mastering of a Rally driver. You'll never see that in circuit racing. I agree that to be Rally champion require mastering all these surfaces. Even in gravel surfaces there is much variety, like fast flowing roads of Finland, Baltics, New Zealand, to completely opposite rough gravels in Acropolis and Cyprus. Driving on snow also requires somewhat different driving style of Finland for example. I know they look similar, but they aren't.Quote:

Also just being curios how many high crashing-chance spots did you find in Germany and many crashes actually have you seen?Quote:
