The only thing I like about this kind of stages is that they keep rally alive by bringing casual people to see sponsors.
20000 spectators at it I think last year, and few of them will have been die hard fans who will have known enough to watch on the real stages, anything that lifts the profile of the sport and gets it back in front of the public in a positive light is good, thankfully you are clearly not Bobby Willis....
