Virtual chicane discussion on twitter https://twitter.com/skunnercampbell/...85691422162944 At least Rich Millener from M-Sport and Iain Campbell of Wales Rally GB are defending them.

Some changes will happen concerning the WRC season 2019. We ended our co-operation with Mikko and the new man will step in. From now on I will compete with Marko Salminen. Big thanks to Mikko for taking me to this level where I am today. https://t.co/VrEv4mzMCe

Marko Salminen has spent past seasons with Katsuta. Quite interesting change. Will Katsuta now continue with the Japanese co-driver?

[Andre Oliveira]

I guess Lehtinen. Arai out of Toyota program now.

Great choice. Salminen is a great guy and great codriver.

Drop this round already.

But Colin Clark needs his service park hospitality

What if someone does not break to that virtual chicane? (I don´t mean penalty way)

There could be nasty accidents coming if there is huge drop or nasty corner after that.

That way real chicanes are better.

There is high possibility that some driver could miss that virtual one.

+1, especially for drivers who are amateurs to WRC events it could be dangerous.

Yes. They should brake earlier.

Thats my point exactly. Without the chicane they would be braking earlier not accellerating out of a virtual chicane. But dont matter what we say on here or think. Its the idiots in fhe power above will do as they please regardless of driver or fan opinions

I doubt a real dangerous place wouldn't be taken away with real chicane. Use of virtual chicanes doesn't exclude the use of physica chicanes. Virtual chicane is perfect for fast sections used for connecting roads/sections. The most importantly it saves resources from the organizers and - as being virtual - is more safe than a physical chicane. There must be something wrong in my mind because I see no harm in introducing virtual chicanes more into rallying. For sure I know how to stay far away from them.
