Back to MC in the 60´s. Starts all over Europe, like from Stockholm, Oslo whatever more places. Big news in media back then.

Making WRC more interesting isn´t easy these days when there´s only money rules. It´s a competiton against other sports, motorsports, X-games etz. having a WRC rally in Indonesia doesn´t make anyone more happy.
Solutions? I don´t know. Back to basic? Longer rallies? Enduro-thinking? Maybe.
And the grass was greener in the 60', I know. Times change and not everything what worked 50 years a go can be repeated today. Sorry but the idea to hold Monte in a way it was held in 60' is completely ridiculous. Just try to tell the team managers that they are going to spend two weeks on the event with thousands of non-competitive kilometers all around Europe and watch how they react.
