    I don't want to proceed with this silly argument. It won't make any difference anywhere. Let's just agree to disagree and continue with our lives.

    You run out of arguments long time ago... argumentation without arguments I call "religion war". There will be no end for that

    Fine.

    Just let me give you more. Back in the old days you got penalty in seconds for having bumps on your car after stages. Just to tell about the changes over time.

    However I would never ask for skipping timing on road sections, also meaning not taking them away, if not something dramatically happens in the future regarding rules or technicals.

    The rally lost a top competitor due to his own stupidity.

    If the rally organisers were givig a free wheel & tyre away at the end of the stage then he'd have started with no spare and been in the same position.

    If you aren't interested in what happens between the stages you aren't interested in rallying and should go and watch rallycross.

    Colin Clark was surprisingly spot on with his driver ratings. Especially giving 2/10 to Greensmith was quite surprising.

    A weird article. But I think it just proves how great rallying is as a sport, when we can perceive it from so many angles. Some (like this author) see it as a social event where you have to be on the stages with people, some think it's all about the fast-speed action and you could forget everything outside the stages (we just saw this angle on the forum), some want to just see different types of cars, no matter the speed, and for some people (like me) the most interesting thing is the sport aspect, the results, split times, driver comments etc.

    I thought the ratings were fair also, maybe someone has had a word!
