24/7?
Wasn´t it drivers we talked about?

To be honest, if a driver think its not worth it, he is finished.

A offshore (oil) worker in norway works 2 or 3 weeks, 12h shifts, home for 2 weeks. They earns quite good money, its close to the same amount of work.

A good friend played in a famous rockband, they was on tour i 6 months, just 1 week home in the middle.

A collegue at work was trainer for brasil WC team in alpin, he was away from family 250 days last season.

Or, start a new business from scratch with little money, you even can work enormous amount of hours without to get paid.

Yes, its lots of hours on tour, but if you follow your dreams and ending up having a good salary, i dont feel sorry. Step aside and let a more hungry driver try your seat if you feel need for more vacation.

Just take a look at the meaning of the word "rally". Hint: Rallye Monte Carlo.

'To gather together; at an agreed place or behind a cause'

?

Using your words I was only laughing at how we went off topic again so quickly.

I don´t know your age, but RMC back in the 50´s and 60´, started from lots of cities in Europe and did liason all the way to MC. It took maybe almost a week for transportation... on winther roads, as it was back then.
That´s the heritage. And it´s been changes since, of course, but don´t say we need shorter two days rallies in WRC.

Rally always had an endurance element.

And I remember the (mainly Scandinavian) drivers moaning about long days, night stages, lack of sleep and it being dangerous way back in the 80's on the RAC Rally.

It is much worse. Because you must add also pre-event tests. And recce sometimes starts also on Monday, so you need to be there with one day advance to make recce registration... It is easier for manufacture drivers who has lot of people around them, but more difficult for others...

Spot on.

Think of the 'lower ranks' who have to do so much more themselves with none of the financial rewards the Rally1 stars.
