No. Interesting note is that FIA safety guidelines strongly recommend two 0-cars for stages over 30km long. Maybe it's even mandatory before they approve a stage in WRC, not sure. Not very practical for organizers.
It's been like this for years, for safety reasons. both start same time and cover half stage to clear the entire road in a limited span of time near to the start time.
Unfortunately, there isn't much scope to change the circuit without getting rid of a load of buildings! :)
I remember there was a proposal for them to turn left just before Portier, adding an extra...
I thought the FIA said they would invest in this championship. How have they done that?
