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.

Siberia would be a great snow rally...

It's really not so difficult to predict crash places but speaking for myself I don't go to rallies to watch crashes. The last thing I want to see is somebody injured or dead. That's why predicting crashing places and spectating crashes are two different things. Still I have to admit I have seen quite a lot of crashes live. I do know one cameraman who has taken dozens of crashes in his videos because he likes to do so. He took some crash videos on every event where he was...

There is much more asphalt rallies in Europe than gravel ones. You can't close Your eyes and pretend the opposite. Asphalt is a natural part of rallying no matter if You like it or not.

On local/national events not that difficult yes but on WRC for the top15 drivers it's not so easy (they don't crash so much except Novikov and many competitive km's on stages so many possibility to chose from.

Who spoke about top 15 WRC drivers?

An interesting point regarding tarmac is that the UK drivers of the 60s 70s and early 80s had a career path that started with tarmac night rallies on public open roads (still something most of the world can't compute!) Cowan, Elford, Clark, J McCrae, Pond etc. all started on navigational night events and so were already adept at dealing with changing tarmac conditions before they ever got near forest gravel (although many road rallies would employ farmers tracks). Nowday's fast tracking into national forest events is the usual route (apart from N & S Ireland) for guys in the British Isles, without getting tarmac experience. The first time many of them see tarmac is Epynt or on the Jim Clark Rally. Maybe that's where we are going wrong.

The topic about WRC - of course they are other drivers than WRC top15 on WRC rounds but after some WRC2 and some clever guy with DS3 we see there mostly tourists

Agreed. I want more 'world' in the world championship.
