    I suggest that from 2025 wrc should cut off all the mechanics + services and go to ,,malle moto'' style of racing like dakar has for motorbikes - all the service and repairing has to be done by riders/drivers..

    I think it is shameful itinerary for everybody... Maybe only promoter will like it as they can save one day of transmission...

    I dont like the new style..

    Make more stages! and remote service, more action on a shorter period, that could be something.

    That its stupid to do long liasons to Alghero and back during the day is correct. So let them do some extra stages , and than some service action in the stages region.

    Also stages like Ittiri, or Monte Baranta, nice for spectators, and easy to fit in to such timing!

    Surprisingly, I'm not totally against shorter events - however there are a few caveats to it.

    Keep as much stage km as possible, and just run the event Friday, and finish on the Saturday evening - make it a shorter, but more intense event. I don't like the lack of service, so I'd change that. I also wouldn't be against another 1 or 2 events like this......providing we see the opposite.

    For example, make the Monte & Safari longer and harder; Monte could run Wednesday afternoon until Saturday night......

    Mix the formats up - it's what the sport was meant to be about; rather than the generic 'WRC event'.

    Is there a better sound than that of Porsche engined Flat-6 ???
