[WRC] News & rumours (part II)

Well, NOT is Greek...

I am not surprised. It is not uncommon in Greece to have enemies of the nation inside it. However, I am not a crook and if he regards himself a crook he can speak only for himself.

I just want to see events and countries that truly deserve rounds to get them...

i have only missed 2 acropolis rallies since 1997... i was a huge supporter until 2005 when they moved the event to the capital with the SOLE reason to financially feast on the success of the previous years... those dogs got what they deserved in the end... now its tears and pain for them and for me as well... but at least i have the courtesy to blame ourselves instead of the "bad europeans who only think about the money".

scn as you are a new member i must inform you that NOT is the master of making provocative declarations about everything.He was banned and now his new name is NxOxT.He is so popular here about the things he says that a topic was made for him(where is NOT?) when he was banned.

Read what I wrote just above on 18:59. I am not blaming FIA. In fact, I am also blaming ourselves, as we never did anything to control this bloody former FIA representative that has done all this damage. These people were committing the crime, the rest of us just watched and did nothing (with very few exceptions).

P.S. Acropolis is one of the best rallies and stop saying bull**** just because you are angry with Mr Despotopoulos and the rest of the company. If you want, go and kick his ass. Acropolis does not deserve to get a bad name.

Then you have no excuse to ask for the acropolis to stay... good riddance i say for this sorry excuse of an event.

Yes it is a second oldest rally in Europe. It used go through different areas of Poland and different surface. The same story as with many other iconic rallies e.g San Remo, Catalunya, Portugal etc. The only reason it's on gravel now is because FIA wanted it that way to be in WRC calendar.

Ah, yet another event that has 'sold out'. The FiA strikes again......

However, one must wish them luck - and hope for their sake that it is a success.

Read my PS above. Your target should be the individuals, not the rally.

Financially it would be better for WRC to move on and focus on the more demanding countries, where the exposure actually matters.

For us viewers though, it would be a great shame to lose what's always been known as "the toughest rally on the calendar".

I still like watching Mikkos save of the century onboard in his last year at ford
