Only very very few drivers show something more than maximum afford on effectiveness there. The most spectacular asphalt surface for me is a mix of dry with some mud and wet patches like in the morning after an overnight rain. Anyway asphalt rallies can be very spectacular but it's much harder to find the right places and it's really easy to be disappointed and bored.

Maybe it is also about the events and their route...
    I don't agree about R5. They are mostly very boring. S2000 were a nice exception which is now disappearing...

    Another thing about tarmac rallies is how great the cars look on the lower suspension ...





    Compared to gravel...

    Indeed Barum and Ypres in muddy conditions are great to watch, and many get tricked on those conditions.

    New Hyundai i20 3 door will be a 'coupe' of sorts... Looks wayyyyyy better than the current car so hopefully the WRC version will be quite nice to look at.
