    Recce cars and service trucks yes, after Argentina they sail to Australia and after that back home, where they soon leave for Mexico again... Competition cars are transported via air, overhauled before each event ( or a completely new chassis is flewn to the rally).

    Thanks, I indeed just read articles about that, I got confused.

    Finland itself is perhaps a poor market but it has many neighbours who visit it. NZ has only cannibals and coconuts around it.

    They commented that "all-Finnish" thing i believe and said that bigger markets like Asia etc consider all Europe as one so there`s no big difference who drives and where the event is held, as long as the result is good.

    Like i said in one topic. Probably the policy for all the teams.

    Having read this post I must reflect on my day out watching a rally and be very thankful that no cannibals have eaten me today. I am also very happy none of my friends or family have been eaten by cannibals today.
    I checked with other rally fans to find out how many rally fans have been eaten by cannibals, apparently it has never happened.
    If you want to come to a rally in NZ you will be safe from Cannibals and have a great time.

    Visit South Moravia. It is the real paradise

    Ever see the movie 'Black Sheep'? Quite hilarious (in a very NZ way)

    It is a dangerous planet with plenty of potentially dangerous people. I apologise for being a realist. The most present danger to foreign tourists in NZ is the 'driving on the wrong side of the road' and adventure sports - parachuting, bungee jumping, skiing, atvs, horses, white water sports etc
