[WRC] Vodafone Rally de Portugal 2019

I just can’t get the option of having Lousada SSS on friday, when they’re coming from the south and Gaia on saturday, when they’re coming from the north; it’d make more sense the other way around (friday Gaia; saturday Lousada).

The drivers are only able to do the recce before the mid day service and friday it's impossible to do it.

This actually isn’t a big deal, but if Gaia was on Friday couldn’t they do the recee on Thursday afternoon, after the shakedown? The street stage structure is usually finished a long time before being run.

I suppose that the drivers are not allowed to recce the stages after shakedown and with the usual recce cars, and If they do it with the rally cars the rally must start at Porto or Gaia and all the km from Porto or Gaia to Coimbra will count to the total distance of the rally, and that is probably what they want to avoid.
