The route was somewhat expected... let the planning begin.
Pity the power stage is the same as last year...

basically those were just the 2 places that offered some action for me in 2011 due to problems i could not go through the stages before the event as i usually do so the rest of the places i visited were the ones suggested by the guide and they SUCK !!! if you have some standards of course, if you visit events just for the sake of it then they are fine....

The rally after 2005 became a shadow of its past self...

Roads were horrible but great.
Great speeds. Did you miss WRC machinery on these roads?
