2010 calendar looks OK I suppose!
Good to see Turkey,Germany and Mexico back.
I wish Bulgaria turns out as good as Poland...
Maybe It's better some countries change year after year...

Ray, do Jordan and Turkey, they are only 2 weeks apart and you won't be disappoined with Jordan, trust me.

And these dates are fixed? Will not be so happy if i book flight tickets and the dates are changed

[J4MIE]

I don't think they are 100% sure, I would wait a while yet before booking flights, they might go up in price a bit but at least you will be sure of getting the correct times to go

Well, went to Rally Bulgaria last year, also going there on Thursday, and to be honest I would not mind watching a WRC round there. It will be totally different tarmac round from the ones we already know. Definately much more sliding...

About Acropolis, I believe that by not being in the 2010 calendar, will give the organisers food for thought! I agree with N.O.T.! The rally in 2005 (Lamia) was voted the best in the WRC calendar! Why change it?

I also agree with Psycho that we will go and watch it wherever it will be done, but still the place that the rally should be done is Lamia!

Anyway, the big problem of the rally is TV time! That thing simply does not exist! Rumours say that the rally next year will count for IRC. If that happens that will be great chance for the organisers to find the TV time which is absolutely necessary for the rally!

Yes it is. The quality of the tarmac is not ideal, but for the SS sections should be OK. Additional paving has been done to improve it. It has almost everything, slow and technical sections, as well as fast sections. Two of the longest SS involve climing up the mountain, then going down.

The rally is located about 60-70 km south-east from the capital city Sofia.
