I don't want to turn in into a sort of hillclimb with multiple stages.
Now I should be a traditionalist as well (even though it´s kind of "whatabout..."): In the past every crew of a rallycar had to start from different European cities. You know, Stockholm, London, Oslo und so weite... 2500 K of liasion before reaching Monte Carlo and the real stages... That´s tradition to me.

Since Monte nowadays have nothing of that. A change of rules making competitive drivers go on competing, only helped by a new tyre at the start of final liasion, wouldn´t be that big deviation from todays modern rules.

Else, as a traditionalist way of looking at Monte we should go back to 50´s.
