lol, NxOxT initial post didn't trick me :p
I would agree with Doon that 1998 calendar look fantastic. Not a single event was boring or similar to another. The only thing is to have Catalunya rally as today mixed event and also Sanremo rally return to the 80 mixed event format. Those gravel roads were fantastic.
Mixed San Remo was amazing...unfortunately, i think that it never come back :( Tuscany gravel roads are some of the best in the world, but nowadays it's so difficult find permits to close these roads... But i'm agree, 1998, and also 1999 calendars were defenetly amazing! SanRemo, Corsica and Catalunya were real asphalt rally, personally i really don't like Alsace, neighter Germany...Quote:

I thought the whole idea of having a WORLD Rally Championship is that they travel around the world. Not just Europe. Obviously if you throw enough cash at the FIA, and have utterly s**t roads you will get a rally. It is a shame we are loosing good rallies to average at best ones. Poland's inclusion however I do welcome. That turned out to be a superb event when it was run last.
I just hope NZ doesn't loose out as it is single handedly the biggest, high profile sporting event to visit our shores, and it is nice to have something other than rugby showing up here. :D
Rugby being obviously big over there but I share your opinion. I’ve always liked NZ with it flowing fast roads.Quote:
