[WRC] News & rumours (part III)

[A FONDO]

What does it change? They have 2 spares these days in 100+ loop anyway and don't have to stop on stage to change them.

Do you really not know the difference? Why embarass yourself? When the loop is divided in several 20 km stages, tyres can cool down, also drivers rotate them several times. With one long stage they can go flatout, no tactics, no preserving.
Many offroad events do it and nobody complains.

The only way to make long stages without mid-stops is to use very hard tyres, and hard tyres mean less grip > less speed > less spectacle.
