2016 WRC Calendar

[Sulland]

Fighting on 13 vs 14 rounds, and where they should be arranged. Promotor, teams and FIA does not agree.

Monte Carlo and Korsika has not signed, and we could se ERC snap them up, like in the IRC days.

How would you like the 2016 calendar to lookk like, and why?

First off it's Corsica & not Korsica & if Corsica sucks like it did this year (organizers aspect) it shouldn't be on the calendar & it would be nice to see what China can throw up it's sleeve. Although competitively it would be better if the WRC had more rounds to my opinion. Would be a shame to lose Monte-Carlo, already lost it's WRC status back in '09,'10'11. would be nice to see other new & old events come (back) to the calendar but that's beyond 2016.

14 rounds are fine for me, just shorten the tests. Rallye de France is recommended, even if it is just for all stages TV coverage....

I think one round is enough. Starts in late January and ends mid-November.

I just want to see some dates on a page so I can start planning for next year. If they need to ditch a rally (which they won't) then get rid of Corsica for 2016 and give them 18 months to get a really amazing event together.

Not sure if they are next year but why would MC want to start in the middle of the week on a Wednesday and end on a Friday or Saturday as i think they did one year? Any good reason for it?

I actually preferred the years they ran it that way. In fact, I think some events worked better midweek than the weekend; the old RAC got huge crowds, and usually ran from Sunday - Weds/ Thursday. Weekends are crowded with more popular sporting events - moving some events to midweek wouldn't hurt. Obviously it won't happen.

14rounds is good for me. But i want more "world rallies"... WRC is, at the moment, ERC and some rallies in the rest of the world. Monte-Carlo & Corica could be join ERC.
Bring Back New-Zealand !!

Agree about NZ, criminal that it's left out; should always be in the WRC, rather than Australia - which is a 'nothing' event since it left Perth.

I do think the early season needs a proper full Tarmac event; Corsica in early May would be welcome. However, both Monte & Corsica have yet to sign. Could be interesting.

Bring back NZ!
