Oh! Nice piece of information. But I knew it already, I'm not really a beginner anymore... :)

I try to make my point clear.

If Kirkenaer2 starts only an hour after Kirkenaer1 started, with more than 30 cars it would impossible.

So, either they expect a very low number of entries or there is no super rally rule (rally2 rule).

Or it's a relatively short stage.

Or it's a long stage, but the start and the finish are actually very close to one another geographically.

Maybe they do the same like Wales 2011, when at the Great Orme stage the 2 runs were mixed up, so when the second run began the 2 stages ran at the same time, with someone from the first stage starting in front of the first of the second stage and so on..

Nope, 2012 Kirkener 1 start was 10.03 - Leg 1. Kirkener 2 start was 13.23 - Leg 2.

I believe it will be a compositing or typo error as only 1 hour between the 2 runs would make no sense in an event like Sweden

Ok on a short tarmac stage but snow...?

Yeah, it seems unlikely ;)

There is 1h13mins between. It's a short kind of superspecial-stage. From onboard all spectators were on one side of the stage. So let's assume they don't need to run a 0-car between both runs. If they let first 15 cars run every 2 minutes, and others every minute, with some small margin, let's say they can still have 45-50 cars then. And this year they had 54 entries... Quite strange indeed, but if there are not more entries next year, it is possible...

Ok that might be possible, as the stage is run in bicycle paths of Kirkenaer, but still there's places where offs might happen (as we all know from 2012) and stuck the stage. These could easily ruin the schedule. Quite a risk, I think.

But the more important question is still to be answered, super rally rule or no?

Not on bicycle paths but between the river and the bank to prevent flooding. Not much to see unless you can manage to sneak into the forest somewhere.WRC Onboards: Norway 2009: Mathew Wilson SS09 - YouTube

Yes, there will be Rally 2 next year (super rally)

I meant "bicycle paths", that is very small and narrow roads. I've been in Kirkenaer twice, stand the on the bank. But this year I'll be in Finnskogen again, no question about that. :)

And thanks for the info, great news about super rally!
