Well done to the NZ Government for recognising the value of the event. NZ is a fantastic event, and should never be left off the WRC, especially when a newcomer like Abu Dhabi waltzes in a gets a round. And the final round - that's a disgrace as well. The final round should be GB - the FiA/MSA should be protesting to NorthOne in the strongest terms about this.
It seems as though Jean Todt and NorthOne don't see eye to eye - well there can only be one winner.
Is there a better sound than that of Porsche engined Flat-6 ???

Iskald: I talked to several drivers on Monte this year and I heard no negative comments. Everyone told me that he wanted to start again because it's fantastic event.

Some weeks ago (not on April 1st), portuguese Autosport site has reported Todt's intention to develop an merger between WRC and IRC series.
http://autosport.aeiou.pt/gen.pl?p=s....stories/83149
The same article mentions Chandler opposition to the project and underline the advantages of Todt's idea.
I've not discover any related notice on the Net, so is this article a scoop or just a joke?
If Todt's plans are real, this could be great news to the sport; the existance of two rival international series really doesn't benefit world rallying!Rally addict since 1982

It's not that easy to merge two championships run by different organizations with different promoters.

I suspect that Todt would have liked the WRC Promoter job to have gone to Eurosport.
