And if you go here you'll find Warmbold had a mechanical failure in his Toyota.

Well, Donney, 'mechanic failure' is not a valid reason for me, it's got to be specific.

I am almost clinically depressed that the Safari Rally is not in the WRC anymore. and if it ever becomes included again it should in no way be compact like all the other rallies because then it wouldn't be half the adventure it's supposed to be.

I'm affraid so, Mr_xl_Lancia_lx.

But,nevertheless, rallyes are not anymore what they used to be, aren't they ?

If you look closely (or even just glance over it, really) at the page you can see it is just the result from RallyBase copied and translated into Portuguese. I've already requested in English on the Wikipedia Talk page of the person responsible for the copying to remove the pages from Wikipedia as it is a clear violation of copyright. Apparently nothing has been done yet. Is there a Portuguese member with some experience of Wikipedia who can help me follow the formal procedure for removing pages because of copyright violations - I had some trouble with the FAQ about this on the Portuguese version of Wikipedia (my Portuguese isn't that good...).

Oh, and some good news, RallyBase.nl is up again

Portugal has been held every year since it was left out of the WRC, so that should be the 40th edition next year.

Rally Ireland was held for the second time this year, so 2007 will be third edition.

For Norway I'm not sure if the rally should be considered a continuation of the Finnskog Rally Norway or not.

Yes, Jorge. Number of edition.

Thank you Tjeerd. I was not sure about Portugal and I didn't know if organizers try to continue old traditions of Circuit of Ireland as well as Finnskog. Same situation concerns Rally Russia. It's possible it continues tradition of Vyborg Rally.
