As teams don't have to prepare the cars for night running,with not even a SSS on the Thursday night, a midday start would be sensible. No position selection presentation this year means some other way of having the drivers present at service when the casual fans turn up would be good PR
Yes, but you know that every event now has to be the same. Generic WRC events is what RedBull want..... not what the WRC should be.Quote:

I quite agree - but the organisers/ MSA are paranoid about not doing what the FiA/Promoters want - in case the event loses WRC status. Other organisers have more 'balls' - particularly ACM, who don't care about the FiA.Quote:

Hoping it's Llandegla again but I agree a couple of hours later would be good. Was a lot of milling around last year after such an early start.
Bit gutted as this was going to be the year we went to Myherin. Ah well.
I was only checking last night, I thought they'd confirmed it but realised I'd found last year's page for Llandegla... I didn't do Shakedown last year but fancy doing it this time around, though preferably as Mintex says at a reasonable hour, as I don't want to have to book accommodation up there for Wednesday night just for an early shakedown.Quote:
