I've competed in rallies on circuits, tarmac non-circuit and forests - they're all very different but they're all rallying and they're all good fun. The circuit events aren't to everyones taste but that's fine - people can pick and choose the events they like, ultimately unpopular events fall by the wayside as they don't stack up financially.

It’s not the same as a forest rally but it is still a challenge, and the barriers can sometimes be even close than in the woods.

Adjust the speed to 120 (we'll reach that at Brands and Goodwood - that's why we need the chicanes on the straights) and you're about there. Each type of rally has it's own challenges - in the forests there are trees and ditches, closed roads the same to some extent. Circuits have tyre bails, concrete walls and gateposts, airfields have blast shelters. All of them can make a mess of a car if you get it wrong.
