Millener suggests more flexible event types in these exceptional times, such as two-day rallies or two consecutive rallies on the same location.

Two day events should be no problem.

Well, the rule book says otherwise. And this is what's Millener's point, FIA should give waivers to the rule book to make the rallies happen.

I don't think most people would have a problem with that; I think there is going to be a need for flexibility in all areas of life going forward.

However, being slightly cynical - I can see suggestions of making events in future all 2 dayers......especially as a lot of Sundays have approx 40km of stages.

Post #519, it is quite obvious that this is an solution to discuss.
Now even more than then.

Currently, Portugal and Sardegna were paired rallies and they are postponed. I can see that visiting Kenya is not so good idea and could still save a lot of costs for each team, at the same time, we have still more than 3 months till that time.
So, if the situation gets under control, would it be possible to make these events in the middle of July? Portugal starts on Thursday and maybe ends on Saturday , while Sardegna should start on Friday morning with SD and can end on Sunday. Teams can travel directly from Porto to Sardegna and cars prepared like it was done last year in Argentina. Slightly shorter rally is also maybe less destructive for the car.

We can have almost two full events and with much lower costs.

If the flight industry is not starting immediately, the prices for hiring private planes is not very high right now and possibly it is the same after things start moving again. So, if there will be one private plane travelling between Porto and Sardegna, taking all team members from one place to another, it would be basically the same cost or much less than regular flights initially for all members from their home to Porto and then back home and then to Sardegna.

Well, first we have to see how is the situation developing. Currently, I would say that it looks promising
