I saw the onboard of SS9 of Fourmaux. This stage is super-exciting and the dirt from the cuts is nothing extreme. Also, as far as I can judge from a video, this is not so slippery. It may be slippery compared to French or Italian tarmac, but it does not seem a really slippery road, as some we have in my country. All in all, at least this stage is lots of fun to drive.
I hope Croatia is in WRC next year. I have heard very good things about Zagreb from some old Serbian friends and I will surely visit it.

It was very nice event, really OK organized, with everyone really trying to do their best to make it happen!
Roads were really demanding, but at same time enjoyable to drive. Stages with very different character, many types of roads and surfaces, some extremely slippery. Some anti-cuts and some deep cuts with loads of gravel on the road.
This was surely great addition to the calendar.
Only thing which I don't like on all that type of WRC tarmac rallies is that only P1 and P2 crews can use gravel crews, which automatically makes fighting between top WRC2 and WRC3 crews impossible, etc.

Director of Rally Croatia, Daniel Šaškin, said that they got informal offer from FIA to organize rally for two more years. He claims that they are happy with the organization and that they want rally to remain in the calendar. Their job is to find sponsorship and money for the rally but that shouldn't be problem now when the rally is succesful story and when economic crisis is (hopefully) behind us.
Excellent news for both Croatian and rally fans in general. Without COVID restrictions, I can guarantee that this will be one of the best attended rallies in the calendar. It's the closest venue for a large part of Middle, Southern and Southeastern Europe and Croatia itself is attractive enough to have tons of visitors. This year's rally is also an excellent invitation.
But let's wait for the official 2022 calendar to be sure.

M-Sport/ Ford have been testing using a 'simulator' in the USA. They say its helped improve the Puma Rally1 car, especially for tarmac. Does anyone know what this simulator could be like ? Story...
