[WRC] News & Rumours 2019

Having this "thing" in the itinerary means there's probably no room for a proper forest stage at night.

I don't think it would have been an option anyway

The Mickey Mouse stages of the old RAC Rally (in the grounds of stately homes) were like real rallying compared to this !

Agreed!

However I remember Bjorn Waldegard always saying those were the stages you never gained any time, just risking to loose a lot, only. But that was in the 70-80´s ...

Jesus f-kin Christ. This is BS in its purest form.

Sure, they were MM stages compared to the forests. But for fans and tv viewers they looked much more like 'rallying' than these current, street SSS.

Yes. Maybe so. But still in the gardens of he rich people... Not much of stages anyway...

I´m not sure what you mean? Are you commenting my quote or something?

No no no, that was not what I meant. Sorry for being unclear. I should have quoted the post I was referring to. The point was to express my dissatisfaction regarding the Welsh SSS, which is very much ex anus, if such Latin phrase is acceptable.

I'm not endorsing that stage, but if you want to look at the positives, a stage like that is very much a part of this Rally's heritage! https://youtu.be/v-JntnA0RyA?t=51

I'm all for a return to a traditional RAC Rally style Rally GB, though the return of seafront promenade tests isn't quite what I was thinking of...

It'll be interesting to see what happens with the Start/Thursday evening. Realistically speaking, I'd like them to have some balls like Automobile Club de Monaco and go for a Ceremonial start in Liverpool, before heading back to service via a run in darkness through a 30km Clocaenog and 10km Alwen. An entirely logical route, a great start to the rally, but I await disappointment...
