I also feel that in-car splits are beginning, wrongly, to play a major role in rallying. I think in SS1, Marcus was getting splits for Seb, and Seb getting splits for Marcus, and they both forgot about Mikko!! who just drove flat out. Mikko got a 14s jump, and more or less, held that all rally.
People talk about experience of the stages, well this rally was a perfect example of how, natural talent CAN compete with the world champions, given a level playing field.
On that note... from an organisers point of view.. is it feasible to have totally different stages from year to year?
