Simply because it’s against Rally most basic principal: driving fast on a road stage. People can understand the use of chicanes and some (very few) actually are challenging driving spots, but there’s nothing challenging on a brake test in a middle of a straight.

That example video, with the stop and go and dangerous corner...car starts accelerating ~2.39 and gets to the corner in 2.49-2.50. Now a with the acceleration of a rally car, well demonstrated in this video, a speed of 160-170 km/h is achieved. Can`t say that it makes any difference, maybe even more dangerous, because you have to make up what you loose in your reaction/ not going through the "chicane" perfectly. Putting a haybale in front, lets say 50 m., that would make it safer...maybe. Same with the Monte example.

Arrive at 190 or 100 if its an icy corner ur still gonna have the same problem ur braking points just gonna be in a different place with the accelleration of these new wrc cars it would need to be 100yards or less before the corner posing a new problem a hard accellerating car trying to brake up

Yes! WSDC - world safe driving championship. Nobody would watch it but it would be safe!
Jesus Christ SN. You are a very experienced guy what comes to rallying so this is shocking that this absurdity is coming from you. Just so against everything what rallying is all about.

Yes i see your point but lets say for example the road is icy and start braking but slide through the virtual chicane at high speed faster than the allocated speed for it. But manage to recover control and get around the corner successfully. Will the driver be penalised for going too fast through the virtual chicane?

Don’t fool yourself; if virtual chicane BS become available, organizers would immediately try to replace current chicanes for it and even tend to use it in more ‘dangerous’ spots, as it’d be a much easier system to implement. Most likely we would end having several per stage.
PS: thanks for the typo tip.Last edited by Rally Power; 20th November 2018 at 21:11.

I can smile. And did. But Mikkelsen should be treated after what he does, not from subjective understanding. That means you have to be honest. I was remarking that.
