Not a fan at all of the prospect of a WRC round at Monza but I can see why the FIA have pushed ahead with it to give them a greater chance of 7 rounds and a valid championship according to the rules.
I wonder if the Monza orgnaisers really screwed the FIA to the floor on pricing the event - all the negotiating leverage they could have hoped for!
But I really hope that a side effect is not the false notion that this type of event is an acceptable format for a WRC round going forward when more normal global conditions resume.

looks like a Thursday night super special. Given the circumstances, I wouldn't mind them doing a stage like this every night, even twice every night, but the rally must have more than that.
I hope they will come up with something resembling the old Donington or Oulton Park stages of RAC, or something of the Szilvester Rally in Hungary:

We have had a spa rally here in belgium, where none of the actual circuit track was used. Only acces and service roads.
But the terrain at spa is huge, its basically just a forest. I don't know how the situation in monza is, if they have such possibilities.

For me, including Monza into WRC is a joke...

nobody hardcore fun will like it.
But...this year due to pandemic is a different story,and imho we need it.Maybe its the only way to run an extra round with safety due to covid.We have to remember that the situation with covid after 2-3 months in totally unknown,and the risk to dont run rallies at all is not low....
If they manage to run and 6-8 stages nearby with proper stages,will not be so bad.
It would be better than nothing.

Track racing is a Big joke to WRC, but only thing to wait for, is the settings of cars for full track/tarmac mode..
Could somehow draw lines with proper rally Kenya.. absolutely different gear ratios/transmissions + max low ride heights..

TBH i was struggling to take this year's WRC seriously with the lack of events, especially some iconic ones and also a lack of tarmac events, so adding one more event, wherever it is, does make the season feel a little more complete. WRC was damn lucky it squeezed in three events before lockdown though.
