    Am I really the only one who thinks such surface is not acceptable for ERC rally round but suitable max. for some local Baja race? Even if it was only this very short part it is still something bad.
    Visit South Moravia. It is the real paradise

    Isn't the whole point of WRC to demonstrate that your car can drive off road? I don't see why one surface is worse than another? If anything the variety is good. I'd love to see a rough, attritional event return like Cyprus or the Acropolis.

    To hear people call Portugal a rough gravel rally is a bit of joke to be honest.

    Portugal is rougher than Mexico, for sure.

    I can't believe I'm hearing that people consider Mexico rough...

    I was the one who used that word...maybe technical would be better term than rough, but certainly those events are similar in style compared to faster rallies like NZ, Finland and Poland. You have to excuse me, I was totally off following WRC for 15 years before this season, Mexico feels like a totally new event to me
