you see kid, i was just starting to like you, but then you bring the ladyboy F1 sport in here and we are going to have problems and we do not want that. but i am willing to forgive you this time...

there are specialists as in every motorsport.

Usually nordic drivers are good on snow and French and Spanish on tarmac but that was in the old dog days of the sport, in todays masterrace sport you cannot afford to be a specialist.

About the stages if you mean that if it is possible to run a stage 2 times in a rally then that is the common format, usually each day has 4-6 stages that are repeated once in the morning and once in the afternoon.
