Mixed in with slower and faster tarmac/ gravel events. It's what rallying is all about, diversity. The world championship still needs that.

    On monte you can have ice while drivers mostly have wrong tires for the conditions so the skill is in driving sensibly.

    Pretty much the same on rough gravel rallies. Managing the speed vs the conditions. That's an element that's mostly missing now.

    Or drove on Dakar-spec reid-truck
    Or sit at service-park and watch a TV
    Or play some game-shooter back at home
    There are many choices, but no-one about classic rally what we should have. Want car-breaking event? - Go for reid or baja. A lot of swamps or dunes is guaranteed. But rally it's about who are faster, but no who has higher or better protected cars.

    In Finland you can break the car on quite a lot of jumps if you go flat out over them => Ban Finland cause it's car-breaking event?

    JML just went for a pee at smooth German road and break a car → ban German? or smooth roads? or JML?

    Answer is simple - you must don't use raid roads for a rally.

    Perfect road for WRC'17 spec car. Is't it?

    Not Turkey, just Ukraine logging-road just for example.

    Any rally is a potential car-breaker, thats why rally cars are specifically built to cope with extremes. Only If a rally had totally different roads on the same day would it be a problem.

    But, just like here, they they dont.

    All the stages on this rally are rough. So the cars and driver's have to be set-up and driven accordingly.

    There are plenty of high-speed events and its good to have another tough, slower one.

    there should be a forum just for brits... exchanging their basic thoughts to each other so they do not get confused...

    speed has nothing to do with breaking the car on those stupid roads... in cyprus the average speed was 60kms and more than 2/3 of the entries retired.

    Plus there are other classes in the event apart from the WRCs.

    basic humans...

    Exactly, WRC cars are actually a minority, some 20% of the entry list or even less.
