Maybe on sunday, stages held in Spa region, there will be some more liberty alltough the access to Francorchamps circuit will be very limited also. That is if the rally will take place, wich i doubt because of the still rising numbers of corona infections in Belgium.
Sadly, that won't be a surprise. Ypres move from earlier October to late November was quite puzzling; was any justification given? And is there a chance for a last minute route change, with the whole event being run on Francorchamps circuit area? After Monza inclusion, I fear circuit racing may become usual in the WRC before this damn pandemic ends.
