I'm not really fond of the idea of a 2 day WRC events. You'll basically spend two days travelling, to and from the event. And then two days of action really isn't enough.
But why is this discussion about event length in Citroen thread?

The format of 2013 Rally Acropolis was a very good example for a shorter event.
There was Shakedown on Friday morning - ceremonial start in the afternoon and two passes of a demanding stage in the evening.
Saturday and Sunday as we are used.

Remember it still as one of the best WRC events ever attended (about 50 WRC events) - lots of packed action in this 3 days. And to be honest mostly at a fourth day at a WRC event its getting too much.
Didn’t find the thread, but shorter rally schedules were already discussed here some time ago; not hard to agree on them, as long a decent amount of stage kms (around 300) is kept. If somehow shorter events become current in the future, I hope we can still have a few longer ones, as a sort of grand slam (MC, GB, ARG and NZ, e.g.).
Mybe we should change thread...?
With the Loeb news it confirms that Citroen are going 100% just for the 2019 Driver's Championship with Ogier.
Only having Lappi to assist will make it even harder for Ogier than it was this year at M-Sport.
Strange gamble to pay for the top man and then skimp on team-mates (one of which could've been Loeb).
You really think, that two Seb`s in one team would work? Nice dreaming...
