...what is the point of having more, but shorter, rallies? The cost to the teams is for all intents and purposes the same whether the rally runs for a day or a week. Whose money are they saving? The local organizers'? It's a bunch of different groups spread around the world, not one big pool of money. If they're willing to host a rally have them host a proper rally, not a rally sprint.

This Ciesla guy, I've never liked him. I'm obviously not an insider or anything, but I have a feeling that he just doesn't get it.
