Agree. But maybe it is better to have some variety so it could be good to have a rally with less but long stages, but it should be done in places with wider roads and with no risks that crazy spectators stay in dangerous places or that a huge amount of them goes to spectate. Also, you should give spectators the possibility to watch at least two passes per day.
