    I'm guessing interval time or splits or something Here's the vid

    I would like to know where is that stage? Hope it´s situated in Keski Suomi. Would suit as stage in Rally Finland. At least as SD...

    I'm not completely familiar with rallisprint rules, but those number signs seem to represent some segments of the stage. Rallisprint is a form of motorsport where you create a track out of roads and you can drive also on rallycross cars because the way back to to the service and start of the stage doesn't involve driving on open public roads. Everyone drives two passes, with no pace notes.

    Here's pictures from the event, you can see that car #10 is a Corvette https://www.rallikuvat.net/2005/kankaanpaa/

    Kankaanpää, quite far from Rally Finland.

    The video looks awesome, but the biggest reason for that is the old incar camera. If that was a modern GoPro with a wide angle lense showing out from both side windows, it would look bland...

    Here's another old RWD incar which looks totally crazy thanks to the camera angle and lense. This is a part of the Juupajoki stage driven often in Rally Finland https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2ywOOOc-sc

    To keep the price of the future wrc rally cars down. How about just keep the current petrol only cars for the stages and then tow or trailer the rally cars with an electric or hybrid car/ suv or pick up ute through the villages between stages. The electric/ hybrids can be used as recce cars as well to keep the noise down during recce.

    That way the manufacturers get marketing exposure for their SUVs/ utes. as well on the event. (A lot of rally cars get trailered to events around Europe etc how about just extending the trailering to between stages?

    The WRC drivers could give the stage a real go if they know a team trailer is waiting at the end of the stage to get a broken car along a road section back to the service centre.

    If you want to die early, buy a helicopter and fly with it.
