I'd like to see something different with closed roads, such as a long course (+ 8 miles) hill climb or a time trial open to anything , single seaters, saloons, bikes etc, road cars but maybe 20 miles in length.
There is a closed road Hillclimb open to a lot of different types of car running near Holmfirth in Yorkshire this year. Not the 8 mile run you want, but its a start.Drumroll said:
I love my rallying, but get to work on a Monday morning and it is difficult to explain to someone who doesn't know it.
Try explaining Road Rallying, it's even harder!!The awareness on here is even less than Stage Rallying and lets not forget there will still be a very high number of Stage Rally competitors who started out in the Lanes. Fewer and fewer Road Rally boys will moving on to stages now.
Rally Sweden is going ahead, but the schedule is very truncated..

Hi
I will be in the Inverness area when this year's Snowman rally is on.
Where will be the best places to spectate.
Any information would be gratefully accepted.
Spectator information generally isn't available until around a week before the event but the regs say "Thanks to Forestry Land Scotland we have created two spectator areas in the Glenurquhart Forest as well as the ever popular Rogie." I'm sure they'll have details of car parks etc on the event website nearer the time. I will be in the Inverness area when this year's Snowman rally is on.

One thing I'm baffled by, it's been known for a while that there was a huge chance of their not being a lot of snow for Sweden this year, so why have Michelin not taken some gravel tyres and give the drivers a choice to make rather than having a half length rally?
You're not the first to ask this - I think it's in the rules. Sweden is a winter round, so run studded tyres. If the entire event required gravel tyres, then it wouldn't run. The roads would be destroyed and organisers could go bust having to pay to repair them.......Whilst it's great that Evans has a big lead, I don't think it's a great event, a half WRC round (if that) with full points, and only the Power stage tomorrow. The event has to either move north, or to somewhere else were snow is virtually guaranteed.
Yeah, the worst winter since they started measure in year 1750 or something like that,incredibly warm all year.
Of course there's snow further up north, but all the organisers are based in värmland, and the massive audience will probably be much more complicated to get up north, and will probably be massively reduced. So not that simple.
