The World Rally Championship and the FIA are collaborating to address future event schedules following widespread criticism of the extreme itinerary at Rally Portugal by drivers. The event had a revised schedule with more stages than last year, approved by the FIA, leading to long and tiring days for crews. Drivers expressed concerns over the safety risks and physical demands of the schedule, prompting calls for changes in future events. The significant working hours and pressure on teams during the rally have sparked discussions on setting guidelines for event organizers to improve practices and schedules. The aim is to establish regulations that consider all stakeholder requirements in the coming months and ensure a more sustainable and manageable schedule for all involved in the World Rally Championship.
