    Today's meeting

    Apologies for being Euro Centric but its 4 pm UK, and 5 pm CET and still no news from today's FIA meeting in Bahrain. - Juding by the time difference between Europe and Middle East I would have thought some news would have been released by this time. Allegedly it was the 1.6T and tech specs of the new WRC cars, Control tyres, and allowing much longer and roving events that was to be discussed.

    Mmm, so if the Monte decides to stay with IRC, the WRC will start in Poland....., and end in Abu Dhabi......

    Er, RallyGB should end the season - Abu Dhabi hasn't even run a candidate event, yet they seem to be booked in as the final round.

    Is there a better sound than that of Porsche engined Flat-6 ???

    Despite knowing the FIA is only interested in money, why would rallying in Dubai be in the best interest of rallying? Jordan was the most boring, lame event I have ever watched.

    Grading a road to go rallying on is not rallying in my opinion. Making long-standing A class rallies miss out to go play in a sandbox is unthinkable.

    Just because you pay Ford lots of cash, and have your name on the side of their car does not EARN you the right to have a WRC event. There should be a standard, if you are not up to scratch then we dont come rallying there...

    Pity it will go the other way and Finland, NZ, and other good rallies will soon eb scrapped because the oil tycoons can 'buy' events....

    Im not so worried about our rally, but this is bad for rally and exactly what our guy in the comission said might happen, when some of the new events started to boost their participation with money.
