Rally Norway threatened by bankruptcy?
Just read in the local newspaper, NWT, that Rally Norway is in danger of bankruptcy after their first WRC round. It also stated that the Swedish rally made a loss. However they only made a loss of 800 000 kronor (roughly €80 000 ) compared to 14.5 million kronor (roughly €1.45 million) that the Norwegian round lost.
The main reason for this is that they failed to charge all the spectators entry to the stages. They had anticipated a loss of 3 million kronor. They have until June or July (can't remember) to sort it out, with sponsors that they owe this money to, otherwise bankruptcy is the only option.
Be honestly and think logical. That's the key of success!
I.M.O. the date in the calendar is also not good for the two organisations!
Now they lose both money, all fans cannot permit themselves financially 2 weeks holiday and make a choice in there own country, more problems if you have 2 neighbouring countries with a WRC rally! Same problem with all the coupled rallies such as Spanje-Frankrijk, Duitsland-Finland! It is costs saving for the teams but certainly not for the organisations!
Off topic! :bandit:
As the only festival organizer in Europe, I went down with the entrance price instead of higher prices and i can tell you it was financially a terrible good decision! :hot:
