    I’m aware, that’s why it would be nice that once every few years they’d run it in the Autumn like they did in 2021 and then have night stages there.
    Only you know your true potential.

    Never stop dreaming because one day it might happen.

    And as Solberg showed, it's not easy to do this flat-out driving where there's no margin for error.

    If you dont like it, dont watch it and wait for the next rally.
    9 out of 10 rc1 drivers made it to the finish without rally2. In croatia we had 3.

    It can't have been a rally without margin for error.

    You cant assume that. Maybe they all realised how tough it was and kept within their limits as the risks were too high.

    Maybe there's something inherently wrong in this sentence. Did they switch all the gear 40/50 years ago or have we just become used to it?

    A true rally should be one journey and you should finish it with the same parts as you left, excepting direct replacement and repair.
