    Question Your plans for 2015....

    So, with the new season on the brink of getting under way, what is in store for you this year? Have you got any plans to go to a WRC event, more than one, maybe, or all of them??!

    What about outside of the WRC, any regional rallies? National events?

    What about outside of rallying - any other motorsport adventures planned?

    Myself, I'm still not planning on any WRC events at the moment. I would like to go to the ERC Açores (just for that stage ) but doesn't look like I will have time for it this year

    I will be co-driving again on the Safari Rally, they changed the date to the Easter weekend after withdrawing from the African Rally Championship. We may well end up doing the Pearl of Africa Rally (in Uganda) at the end of August too, and hopefully a couple of Kenyan or Tanzanian rally championship rounds if timing and potential sponsorship allows... And of course I'll be taking photos on the Classic Safari Rally in November, which has a brand new route this time and they are using one stage that is 184km long

    As well as all that, I'll be filming quite a lot of UK rallies for TV over here, co-driving in an event or two in the UK would be a bonus too. So should all keep me quite busy!

    What about you?
    If the world didn't suck, we'd all fall off!

    This year I can't afford to compete on both gravel and tarmac, so will probably spend the year saving to compete in Targa in October, which is our 6 day tarmac rally here in NZ. Competed in it twice and it's good fun, but a bit expensive. Other than that I will focus on keeping my hand in driving at as many local sprints as possible and maybe share a drive in a friends car doing endrance racing again.

    Sadly there is no WRC event here and I can't really justify spending money spectating in Oz. I may visit the APRC round which comes to Whangarei in the North of New Zealand.

    If the WRC does return here for 2016 I will do some gravel events at the end of the year and start remembering how to drive on gravel (slowly though!) to get ready for that returning.

    My plan is to do all events in ERC, nothing in WRC, most of events in both Czech championships and if there will be free weekend in my calendar, I will be co-organising/timekeeping MTB DH races or timekeeping different sports (slalom, enduro, motocross, cross country, supermoto, skiing...)

    I've planned WRC Sweden, Sardinia, Germany and Wales so far, it's likely one or 2 events will be added (to choose between Poland, France and Catalunya). Also complete Belgian championship (consists of 9 events including ERC Ypres) and one French gravel event (Terre de l'Auxerrois) are on the calendar.

    And I'm already saving up holidays in case NZ gets on the WRC calendar in 2016...

    Until yesterday I planned Rally Sweden. Unfortenately I can´t attend RS this year. Didn´t last year as well.

    But NORF of course. The event any lover of rallies can´t miss!!

    Working shift but have been looking at Portugal which suits my scedule. (Been there once in 2011)

    Would like to go to Germany as well but don´t think so. (First time)
