2012 World Rally Championship calendar - going endurance?
A provisional 2012 WRC calendar has been leaked. The most significative news is that three of them would be held on two countries (among them mine, Uruguay!). These would have over 500km of special stages. The FIA is also looking of a Monte Carlo WRC/IRC doubleheader. Italy would be dropped, NZ would replace Australia as usual, a new Gulf race would replace Jordan and Japan wouldn't return.
Except for the absence of Japan, this is a great calendar. I'd love a Corsica-Sardinia endurance race, and Germany and France (Alsace) be merged.

They don't need to drop Italy, just get rid of the poxy Sardinia rally and move back to San Remo.
Rule 1 of the forum, always accuse anyone who disagrees with you of bias.I would say that though.

I like Sardinia, at least something different. It is shame that there is no Corsica any more. Both rallies epic..

Italy's assumingly back on the 2013 calender with a different rally on the main land.
I find it to be a solid calender. Bringing back endurance is a good move.

3 endurance rallies is stupid....costly and contrary with the modern rules and philosophy of the sport..... bring safari or something similar back and ditch those cross-country failures...
the countries involved are very nice though... a small doubt about the acropolis rally....but we have to wait and see what happens this year.
