I've sort of lost interest in this since it moved to stadium tracks. They are just dull.

To be honest, I wasn't even aware it existed before 2003 when they moved to a stadium setup, instead of what appears to be pretty much a rally event in the canary islands.
 
The Rally super special style event was massively bias towards Rally drivers, obviously, but it was a far more spectacular to watch.

I'm sure they could make more interesting layouts than the ones they keep rehashing year on year. They could do it like the X Games Rallycross where they leave the stadium and go around a longer track outside too. They must struggle to get above 40 or 50mph on those stadium tracks.
