I'm quite sure we will see some South European gravel testing, to prepare for Mexico, Portugal and Sardinia

Any chance of a national rally being used for a Mexico PET, even just for its dry gravel as Toyota & Hyundai bases are still icy ?

Hardly any events are arranged before Mexico. I could only find one in Greece on 4th March

So why can't teams organise their own "events" on one stage in a formula simular to hill climb or time attack. Multiple passes and best time of the day wins. Invite some other cars and you've got a legit event that is not a test session.

Maybe that's the way to get arround FIA rules

Just a silly idea...

Make an open event but allow only Rally1 cars?

Gus Greensmith Testing for Mexico

It's Portugal PET, he will have additional test days for Mexico.

Puma Rally1 to make UK debut with Jourdan Serderidis on the Malcolm Wilson Rally. He will use this as a test.

Serderidis told DirtFish: “It was Rich [Millener, M-Sport team principal]’s idea because the problem is that I could not attend the test for México.

“I am in fact on holiday at that time and so he proposed for me to do this event instead of the test which for me is even better because then you have the rhythm of a rally, it’s even better for me than a test.
