2011 Calendar

[Gordini]

What will Monte Carlo do for 2011, will they choose IRC or WRC?
What rounds should be in or out if the calendar shall contain 15 rallies?
Make your list.

I think it would be very, very difficult to run a combined WRC/IRC event, so I don't think that will happen, however it still remains to be seen what will happen with the IRC with no new S2000 cars beiong homologated.

Ireland is out, would maybe be interesting to have two winter events again if Norway goes ahead but seems unlikely.

I am intrigued by Abu Dhabi having an event, will be interesting to see how that goes but judging by the money they put into the F1 race then I wouldn't imaging there would be too many problems!

I can't see an IRC/WRC Monte event.

Any WRC calendar needs to have Monte, Acropolis, 1000 Lakes, NZ, GB and a snow event.

I'm not sure about NorthOne abandoning history with getting rid of Tour de Corse, no NZ, having Rally d'Italia starting in Rome then shipping out to Sardegna......if they want to use the mainland - San Remo!!

As for Abu Dhabi - not convinced - yes they do a lot for the WRC - in fact, it's probably down to them that Ford are in the WRC.

For what I know, Rally Italy will start from Cagliari in 2011... they're just waiting the IRC event, in order to "promote" Cagliari as the starting ceremony host city...

Monte Carlo
Sweden
Mexico
Portgal
Abu Dahbi
Argentina
Italy Sardinia
Turkey
Finland
Germany
Australia
France
Spain
GB

is the 2011 calender which Autosports Japan is reporting. My preference would be Acropolis instead of Turkey and New Zealand instead of Oz.

It's good that the WRC will have 14 events again, but I can predict that Abu Dhabi will be boring.

I hope it can be retained, there's government support at least, and the FIA seems to be on their side too. North One could be the obstacle, let's hope they think straight.

Without MC will be less atractive..

Don`t agree. History and tradition is important, but Monte is a dinosaur event. Arrogant organiser, sh.t safety, most drivers hates it. Sorry, but no, WRC certainly doesn`t need Monte anymore.
