I still don't understand how a 110 km race can be useful to earn a WRC round.

Shows they can organise, it isn't the roads under inspection.

I spent the day today in the Nyköping area spectating the third round of the Swedish rally championship. Lovely weather, superb roads.
Anyway they had the double run of stages that most rallies today has,
but with a twist. Instesd of doing the regular repeat of the morning stages in the afternoon two of the three stages in morning were run again in the morning.
During the morning loop we were at Ss6 and once the last car had passed (about 100 cars) there was less then hour until the first car was due for the second loop.
It was the same thing in the afternoon, 3 stages run twice. This meant that we were able to see all cars three times. For the morning loop we only watched the first 40 cars to be able to make it to SS12 in time. For the second loop we didnt stay to watch all cars because delays (stage start was one hour late) and when we left at around 18.30 only the first 25 cars had come through and there was more delays.

I have never seen this kind of looping of stages before..Why doesnt more rallies use this loop stragegy? With some planning I think you might be able to see the best cars 5-6 times.

Intresting, in the austrian championship this isn't to uncommon. It's pretty easy access for casual people as they just have a picnic and watch rally cars for an afternoon, no running around endlessly chasing the cars which is probably to much for people who don't really follow the sport.
