has anyone heard about that North African Rally Championship ?
I've even no knowledge of events there, except Rallye du Maroc Historique ... and some hillclimbs in Algeria.

Always wanted to go to Jordan when it was in the WRC, but it was dropped before I got the chance to visit.

Really not sure about having events in Libya for example at the moment, surely, but we only hear bad things about it and it may be totally different on the ground there.

Surely though any event would struggle for entries, same as the African Championship (which won't include the Safari Rally this year), and the MERC.
