The stages are longer, but for the fans (both at home and on stages) it's nicer to follow events that have more (shorter) stages...
    On the other hand fans want wrc events to be unique and this rally is unique with long stages only, some of them are run only once and services in different places.

    Everytime he has an excuse. Sorry, this could be rims fault, but what about him not destroying his car in previous rallyes? Maybe he could have had the budget to buy proper rims then. There are plenty of private drivers and teams that manage to reach the finish line in several rounds. He did never. Everytime it is something else fault: the brakes, the rims, the engine, the team, the bad luck. Or he is the most unlucky man in the world or he just have a problem himself that in 2 years he didn't manage to solve.

    Amen! The other 9 to 5 rallys feels always short but this TdC schedule beat them ridiculously. With so many spare time drivers could apply for a Uber vacancy...

    Great perfs from Evans and Abbring. It would be amazing to see Evans winning it, but any podium finish will be a major achievement for him and MSport.

    Exactly. This year's Tour de Corse has been one of the strangest, shortest and most unpredictable events in quite a while. In some ways that's a good thing as we have no idea as to how the podium is going to look after SS9 tomorrow, but it also makes for quite a lot of boredom for us who aren't at the stages this weekend but follow the event at home.
