"I'm more of a fan of starting the recce on Wednesday morning and finishing it on Thursday," he said. "Then rally on Friday and Saturday - have the party on Saturday night and then go home on Sunday."

I agree with Seb, I would prefer a endurance type two day rally like San Remo IRC, and what Kris Meeke suggested after Rally GB 2011. Why not have long days with some evening / night stages and restricted servicing? That could satisfy Mouton/Todt's desire for a return to older values. Dragging out an event with needless person/hotel nights doesnt help anyone. A reduced day long hours events would make WRC rallies more affordable for both manufacture teams and privateers.
