[WRC] News & rumours (part III)

[tommeke_B]

If they had a remote service on saturday the gap in the afternoon wouldn't be so big. I think drivers don't like long days mostly because in the evening they don't have time for checking the onboards and notes of the stages for the next day.

I also dont like this WRC format with very short Sunday. To say in short, Sunday is made only and for powerstage...

[makinen_fan]

I agree too, Sunday is a joke for the last 2/3 years since they started standardising the finish time at 12. Why cant they do it at 5 so that organisers have a chance to have a proper final leg. Also I dont like that the majority of drivers go slowly to just save tyres for the power stage.

I actually like this format. Sunday is short, yes, but everything is already decided on saturday on most of the rallies.
The only thing I would change is to have more variety between rallies, in lenght, as well as toughness or stages and so on...

[N.O.T]

Sunday is good to be short and end quickly so the spectators/teams/drivers/dogs can return home early relax and start dealing with the problems Monday brings in a better way.

Everything decided on Saturday because of too short Sunday?

you misunderstood, he said that sunday is short but it doesn't matter because usually everything is decided on saturday so even if sunday was longer things would not change, the drivers would just cruise for some more Kms.

[Rallyper]

No you misunderstood. If Sunday is enough km´s nothing can be decided when 1/3 i still to be driven... Right? I remember when cars cruised even in the 80´s on Sunday, but later on things changed when Sunday leg went longer. I would presume same thing happens if when longer Sunday leg. Ogier can´t always be in the lead for 2 mins every Saturday evening?

[AL14]

I understand what you mean Rallyper, math is on your part but in that case you will have to sacrifice kms on friday and saturday and I actually prefer to have two full days full of actions like it is now.
