p.s. You should use wordpress.org and chose a more customizable theme maybe. Are you familiar with it? Because I think that with a dedicated design your guides would be even better.

Thanks!

You mean I should start hosting on my own server, right? Now I'm working on a zero budget. I know there's a lot I could do with the themes but I also hope the content is more important than the appearance

I think I asked somewhere in the virtual chicane discussions "have you ever seen a chicane in Monte"? Well, this year you will. This is about 10 km into SS1 and will break down a 2 km flat out section.

At least that doesn't look very virtual!

It looks like going through the field

I think it does look virtual, with the blue arrows and everything.

This is very typical natural chicane used in Czech or Slovak events. We have several such places on nearly every stage. I personally don't like them because they destroy the flow of the corners but it's for sure better than a slalom among the hay bales.

One positive thing about these chicanes is that they create a very safe spectator point for common public. Usually they are located on crossroads, i.e. in places accessible for the general public and their shape mostly require using a handbrake to go through.

Well at least this is not marked as a spectator area. The road on the left does lead outside the stage but not sure if it can be used as an access road for spectator cars.
