[WRC] News & rumours (part II)

i like the decision about the shakedown....but how many passes will be allowed ??

the calendar is very nice but a bit expensive if you are a manufacturer with full involvment and that might discourage new entries.

I would suggest manufacturers picking events they want to drive, like in the old days. But they should at least drive 10, 11 rally's.

Interesting to see "just" 3 clashes between WRC and F1 in 2012...

which is great considering there will be 21 F1 races next year!

Its great to see Monte back in the WRC and the shakedown being used to work out the starting order should be good, though there will be excuses for road position on that I expect.

Well, if you look at the oversea schedule then all those rallies are so much apart to each other that they can ship their equipment there. The have to sets of tools and one of the set has been traveling all the time Like it has been before.

According to rallyradio in Oucraine' Yalta Rally, next year Monte Carlo will run only in WRC not in IRC like it was said yesterday. So no more Monte Carlo for IRC.

I think it is a very good looking calender. I think if the calender were to expand, Monte Carlo is very logical choice (another choice would be Safari but probably not feasible at this time). I'm sure the manufacturers like to be called the Monte Carlo Rally Winner than the Abu Dhabi Rally Winner.
