As they say these days: "Money Talks" & unfortunately here we see the result...I agree they should have at least given a yellow card or something at least so the organizers try and make an effort to improve the safety on both MC & Germany events. As for Australia & NZ, it annoys me that from 2013 Australia has taken over the spot and tbh with Coffs Harbour having agreed to host the rally until 2020 makes it a strong candidate to stay beyond next year at the expense of NZ, especially when you have the teams complaining they can't go to Australasia twice....
Another thing that bothered me was the fact they bring in Turkey with all that's going on there solely because they have the money...but no talks of Greece coming back? It used to be one of the toughest events on the calendar and a real car breaker... Now I know they had, well still have some hard financial times there but you would at least expect one of the (old) classic events (or at least one that could become a classic once more) to be given another look by both promoter and the FIA but again, money talks... or more specifically lack of money in this case.Last edited by Eli; 22nd September 2017 at 10:30.

Selfishly hoping the Italian round stays in Sardinia for at least one more season. Not managed to get there yet and it's on my list for 2018.

Sardegna on the island is a must! Loved it this year.
Cannot wait for Turkey, I'll be there!
Boo re Australia and no NZ. Balls.GG: "I'm stinky! I needa good shower and nice bowl of pasta!"

As expected Poland is dropped, and Turkey is in; pretty uninspiring in my opinion. NZ is criminally ignored, in favour of an anaemic Australian event. And bizarrely, Rally of GB is moved forward to early October. What's that about? It's meant to be a late autumn event, with the chance of seasonal (frost, ice, etc) weather.
Is there a better sound than that of Porsche engined Flat-6 ???

We don't want anything to do with ice on GB. If they couldn't handle it 10 years ago they certainly won't now.
I did think it was an interesting move though. I can't imagine the organisers were pushing for it - moving the event outside the school holidays. Happy to be proved wrong but I also doubt the addition of the BRC caused the move. This date switch was rumoured a while ago.RS Motorsport Media - Follow me on Instagram: rsmotorsportmedia

Hopefully the 2019 season will present us something better (ehm New Zealand ehm)

Next year the tarmac rounds will be spread quite evenly around the calendar instead of having two of them back to back.

But stil i think there should be one extra tarmac event. Was kind of hoping Croatia would be in for 2018 instead of Turkey. Croatia could be partly tarmac, partly gravel than.
I would prefer rally Italia stays on Sardinia, nice event for spectators-crews-views,... Why do some of you want san remo so bad?
Also more fan of New zealand than Australia
Variety. With 4-5 tarmac rallies in calendar, it's good to have some successor to circuit-like Catalunya. Rally wasn't super interesting but wasn't that bad either, I liked saturday stages more....
