Very interesting, especially that you could get a scan of the Argentina roadbook!! It's a tricky one, especially as obviously these guys would run on pacenotes and not the roadbook, therefore they would've made the required adjustment in the notes and probably forgot about it.
I can see why Mikko in particular would feel aggrieved, given that he lost the rally by, what, 2.5 seconds or something? I agree fining the organisers was the most prudent action.
I hope we do see a bit of variety, although the three-day format does work very well. I am really liking the mixed-surface stages, although 20km in El Condor was asking a bit much. Perfect opportunity to bring back night stages on the Col du Turini?
I am in two minds about the marathon event. It would be awesome, although it still wouldn't replace the Safari. But it is also completely at odds with the cost-cutting that all motorsport is going through. If it's a proper marathon event I am imagine special cars will need to be built, and dispensation would be needed in terms of engines and gearbox rules given the extra distance put on them.
I can't see it being too popular with VW at least, they have just spent a bucketload of money over the past three years winning a marathon event in Argentina, pretty sure they don't want to do it all over again!
