Maybe the official coverage didnt make the most of the island and the rally and once again it was other creators who came up with some great footage. Tarmac is a contentious surface for some especially the further North you come from however having visited those stages I can say that in the flesh they are less than boring. I love Ypres but you could hardly say its run in a pretty part of the world. If the WRC wanted spectacular tarmac roads it could have given a round to Ireland however we all know where that went. I think the WRC crews will love it (even maybe Tanak) so will reserve judgement until the circus lands next year.
