    Does anyone know why Cicekly SS4 and SS7 do not show up in the program? Are we even allowed to spectate this stage?

    Can’t wait! I have not watched a WRC event from close since Rallye Deutschland 2017!
    @bomber how did you get info for Cicekli 1? I was unable to find info in the official program. Thanks!

Mixed in with slower and faster tarmac/ gravel events. It's what rallying is all about, diversity. The world championship still needs that.
    Surviving competitions are hold in soap operas. You know, like Robinson Island or something.

    Proper rallys are hold on proper stages, not on surfaces killing rallycars.

    Nah I'm looking forward to a proper rough gravel event. Throttle pedal works both ways.

    I would say that I have seen much worse roads, some sections are bad, some are good, some very good, variability is huge.

    Get to the rally headquarters and buy a program. Some stages offer shuttles.

    The driver who wrecked his Skoda in that ERC vid posted above, could've just slowed down. You always drive to the conditions of the road. He was too fast for the conditions it seemed.

    I find it hilarious, the first mildly rough event in the WRC for years and people are complaining. Would you really rather have identikit events run on smooth gravel?

    The pictures from Turkey don't even look that bad anyway. If the drivers have half a brain they'll slow down and protect the cars in the really rough sections, and push on the smoother sections

    Because it makes an already too expensive sport even more expensive. Do you think that it is normal when there are only 30-40 crews on the start line of a WRC event?
