about the used/new snow tyres with spikes
------------------------------------------------------------
Evans explained: “There was obviously the discussion whether to take two new tires on the basis that you would think sometimes that a new tire should be better because the stud is more solid, and in some instances that can give you more grip.
“But [I’m] not sure it was the right call.
“I think what tends to happen is when the tires become used obviously the stud protrudes out of the tire a bit more and that can give you grip so it’s a difficult call and obviously with so little experience with the tire it’s hard to know what’s best.”

See, please. The liaison is part of the rally route just like the stages are. It's not something like cruising around boxes on circuit. The liaison is part of the competition and as such it has its competitive rules - you have to follow given route, be at exact time in time controls and do that with the same car with which you started from the last service. Without that it's not rally anymore.

I believe it is due to the available space in the Monte Carlo harbour (number of Sunday competitors was limited even in IRC times when there was no superally but many more competitors than now). The principality is a small and packed place. For sure no other event than RMC could ask for that but as we have seen in the past Monte Carlo outside of WRC is too dangerous for WRC popularity so it's worth to let them some freedom.
