Rally Argentina

[Doon]

Look on the brightside, its the closest end to the first leg we've had in years!....and there you are all moaning about Super Special Stages. We'll have a great battle on our hands if we just have the rest of the stages as SSS's(how many S's?!?!)

[JAM]

What about the spectators who actually follow the sport. Those who planned to take in Fridays stages and see some proper rallying? Will they still be interested after this incident?

A SSS is a great idea if it can be accommodated properly. In this instance it was not.

Someone is trying to be blind. The problem of Argentina was not the SSS's, the problem was an SSS 750km far from the HQ of the rally. How many times is needed to be wrote?

The SSS bring rally to public from the cities, and IMO this is a very good thing. Spectators on the roads are being less year by year. Not all the people wants to go to the montais and spend there an entire day eating dust. He need to have a flexible mind to look at rallying and motorsport in general, but we must have our brain in real world and no to try to cover all the country to make one single SSS!

So should a rally be comprised totally of SSS???
I'm totally agree with bringing rallying to the maximum possible audience. I don't like diluting the sport to the extent that it becomes simpliy a lap of stadium.
This is not the history of the sport and I don't believe it is the future.

This rally is a disaster guys.

What a trainwreck.

The problem are not the SSS, the problem is a SSS 750km away from the HQ of the rally. Please don't mix the things.

SSS are good to the rallying because they create interest in lot of spectators that usualy don't follow rallying.

Sorry mate but it's you who mix things, Rallying and SSS are two different things, two different Motorsport discipline, and for the good of Rallying, SSS shouldn't be there me think

Thank you for following Rally Argentina this weekend with WRC.com

Thank you for following the rally? They're lazy with reports and took ages to get us some news! Bull! In return to the SSS, I'm not sure, it brings the crowds in, though I hear that the stadium was half full?! Silly decision.......but i'm not against the fact of SSS's..... or am I? (hav to think)

Yeah, the SSS can be annoying. But there have been a couple SSS that were good. You gotta admit it's fun watching the WRC cars on the Monaco Grand Prix circuit that F1 drivers can only dream of sliding around.

The Algarve Stadium stage in Portugal had enough straights to let the cars reach greater speeds. And where else could Gigi Galli have gotten on top of the car like he did? That was great. You can't do that at the end of a normal stage, with like 50 people around.

I think the Rikubetsu stage in Japan was a good compromise. It's a real stage, just shorter and more accessible. I also think it's better for rallying to have a real stage close the rally, with the SSS as the penultimate stage like in Norway.
