You can call me sadistic, but I think Valtra should take the opportunity and become a WRC series sponsor. They'd sponsor all the chicanes and no one would ever want to touch the chicanes.
Never stop dreaming because one day it might happen.

Honestly, the virtual chicane is the most absurd idea anyone could thought for rally, even worse than car park SSS’s. People in the FIA are probably looking for ways to turn the other motorsport series as ridiculous as their beloved FE. It doesn’t even deserve to be tested; just bin it!

But if they do, then in addition to a really expensive car there`s also a pretty expensive piece of "chicane" broken. Quite a costly suggestion.

What's absurd with a car braking in a straight line to a certain speed and accelerating again?
Here it done on a long straight for safety before a tricky braking into a right hander with some trees on the edge of the road i could see someone having had a nasty crash before.

This is absurd, like watering plants when it`s pouring rain. It is a rally special stage, ment to be driven as fast as possible and without a physical reason braking and accelerating is bad, it doesn`t make anything safer or more interesting, just sillier.

And also in the very tricky section they should add virtual speedtrap and you can only accelerate on the straights. Would be fun and "safe".

So if you have a icy corner in MC where you would normally arrive at 190kph with no space for a chicane before it with a 100m drop, would it not be safer to arrive at 100kph...?
Maybe some stages that normally wouldn't be used due to safety could be used for a small sacrifice on a part of a stage, safety and nature of the stage is what the FIA said they would consider more now than just average speed."Die with memories, not with dreams" Scott McIsaac

When I go to WRC event, I want to see the best drivers as always. If I want to see some national drivers, I can go to some other less popular event.. Just simple.
