Looks hard to do more than two stages on Saturday sadly, same as in Sweden

Great to see Ouninpohja back and one totally new stage.

Not so excited about Ruuhimäki back already now and Laajavuori as a PowerStage.

Whats wrong with Ruuhimäki? Its an awesome stage

Both Ruuhimäki and Laajavuori are safe cards. Spectatormagnets.

1. April? Back to 1955 driving tests? This isn't exactly a good look.

If it improves safety then I dont see any problem with it and also built chicanes on gravel are shit, they get so rutted. They also could get hit/destroyed or moved out of place so it would be unfair for some of the drivers.

[tonirali]

Weren't virtual chicanes used in ERC last year, or a couple of years ago? How was that experience?

It’s a good look, almost as though rallying is using what is now old technology that national rallies have been using for years. It works for everyone. They tried all sorts of things in previous years and hopefully this allows the world’s best stage to run without issues.

Your 1955 comment suggests you don’t know the history of rallying….
