All cars make damage. If they would have had more than 30 r5 cars like in monte, the road would have been a lot more destroyed. 100 more cars that each makes them a little bit deeper has more impact than those 10 wrc cars.
I don't understand why you try to denie that. You can see it for yourself on every gravel rally.

But the Mexico roads still are one of the firmest and smoothest of the whole season. The cars don't make the kind of bumps like they do in Argentina and Sardegna, for example. But it's also true that we haven't really seen what 100 cars does to the Mexican roads. They drove some parts three times this year but still it was like 50-60 cars at most, less than the best rallies have on one run.

I've been few times on tests on Mexican roads, some were actual rally stages, some used in the past or roads next to stages. On most of them you can drive few days with few 4wd cars, 10 hours per day and road is not getting much worse, no ruts, etc.
2017 WRC cars are making much more damage to the roads comparing to 2016 cars, can't compare it to R5 even.
End of topic from me, this forum starts to be waste of time.

crew thankfully OK, but after rolling they got stuck in the ditch upside down and can't go out from the car...

I can’t believe she said that? She didn’t even bother to drive through that stage and jump!!!! Meeke lifted after lappi but still the landing was bad.
Is she for real?#8 Ott Tänak - Martin Järveoja #8

If you need to create jumps to make your stages interesting for spectators, you're doing it wrong. I like rally with proper stages, without artificial things like chicanes, anti-cutting stuff, roundabouts or fake jumps. Those artificial things have never done anything good to the sport (Bertelli-Finland-Kakaristo, Mikkelsen-tractor-Australia, countless chicane issues, etc.). Simply ban those things, if organizers can't find anything suitable without modifying the surroundings, move on to the next, there are enough candidates for organizing WRC events.

She is a complete, arrogant disgrace. I'm fucking furious reading her comments.
Dimviii, I'm not so sure they are in the same boat, as Matton says the jumps need too change, but Mouton is saying the drivers need to manage their speed and that the jump "is not ridiculous"... to me, they are saying slightly different things.

It was on qualifying stage, he rolled the car and it was said that he won't be able to start the rally. But team managed to repair the car and he did start and dominated drivers like Rossel, Gryazin...
