    I have Reinhard Klein's 'Rally' and 'Rally Cars'. I have had them since they came out and they still look mint. They are about the only things I own that I have looked after. I am going to buy...

    The fact that the teams, and Malcolm Wilson in particular, like them is what I am worried about. They probably 'liked' every decision that has been taken regarding the sport since 1996; and look...

    I've seen all this stuff about how the results of rallies might now be determined on 'Power Stages' and an article in Autosport about how radical thinking is needed for the WRC to 'survive'; and I...

    A bit of a random one, but the Almeras Porsche team were always sponsored by Eminence, what was/is Eminence?!

    For Bernard Ecclestone read David Richards. He tried, and failed. There is nothing wrong with having a round in Brazil, if it really is that important to some folk, but as you say, not at the expense...
  9. I have nothing against Sardinia/Sardegna at all,...

    I have nothing against Sardinia/Sardegna at all, it is a beautiful island, it has a wonderful climate and I'm sure very friendly people, and you are right it is a classic rally location, the Costa...

    I thought of a way of bypassing the problem of how to have a 14 round WRC and please the marketing departments of car manufacturers, Malcolm Wilson, normal rally fans and traditionalists. I decided...
  11. Coldirodi, Ronde and Colle Langan were all in the...

    Coldirodi, Ronde and Colle Langan were all in the IRC San Remo last year, so that makes me think they are perfectly viable for a WRC event, regardless of the FIA's current requirements, and therefore...

    That's fine by me, I would never want to be.

    Whatever exclusive media access is sounds like something that could be done away with, but for me the best part of the San Remo were the gravel roads...

    To be honest I'm not really sure what you are going on about. By San Remo I mean the rally that used to take part in most of Northern Italy and was based in San Remo. The cruddy little version of the...

    I'm not sure if this could be any more wrong. If the WRC left Europe, having say 3 or 4 events there, it would fold in 3 years tops. You have to remember where your competitors are coming from. Seen...

    Somewhere where I would consider having an event, purely for the hell of it, with no economic consideration given to it at all, is in Central Asia. There are loads of blogs on the web and TV shows...

    You think there should be an event in Brazil purely because it is a VW market? What about when the big wigs in the VW Group boardroom decide that throwing cash at a sportscar and GT program for both...

    My calendar would be Monte, Sweden, Portugal, Safari, Corsica, Acropolis, Argentina, NZ, 1000 Lakes, Australia, San Remo, Catalunya, RAC, Morocco.

    You can call me a traditionalist if you like!

    Gap is right smack bang in the middle of an area of loads of classic stages. Barcillonette, Pont da Savines, Sisteron, Col du Corobin to name just a few. They could do a bunch of stages north of...

    The problem that WRC finds itself in is deep rooted and diverse, Loeb was a problem, but you can't blame him. The worst thing that can happen to any sport is knowing the outcome before an event has...

    It is hard to be positive, and not look back, when the past was so much better than the present in every regard. I admit that I had never taken into account what you said regarding the expense of...
