What I liked about the Monza stages was that there was no donuts, ramp jumps, loops or same segments driven in many directions within one stage. Also the varying surfaces made it tricky, especially on tarmac tyres and suspension.

I agree that there's a lot to improve in most super specials of the season, but then again, the most important thing is to just get the rally cars where there are people, and the stage doesn't matter so much.

I've always loved Harju as a super special, it has some proper drivable corners, a long tradition, and no artificial elements. I also liked very much the super special in Estonia. I'm fond of street stages when they use the actual natural corners of the street, not the barriers and donuts they usually put there. Twin-car rallycross stages are also usually decent in driving terms, because you can get proper drivable corners and long slides going on.
