That's why i mentioned 2013. They could do it then, so service is no acceptable excuse.

But as the rallies shortened from 400 to 300 km the formats remained the same, only the longest stages were exchanged for shorter ones. To me this is not a big difference.
It is in fact a 2 day rally, streched out much longer for some reason.

Basically 1 day of local rallying and 3 days of short rallysprints. For a world class event thats pretty ridiculous.
A short day on sunday before the power stage i can understand, but all other days should have at least 100km's of stages.
