    Hmmm.

    Story in MN today is that Poland is definitely out - replaced by Turkey which would run in a September date. FIA Promoter are struggling with Croatia to find a suitable date that doesn't clash with the height of tourist season. So looks like it won't happen now. Also for NZ, Ciesla said the teams won't support that extra travel/expense as a 14th round.

    Also Wales GB and Catalunya are likely to switch around on the calendar. First six events of the season will run in the same order as 2017.

    I meant the candidate event, which should normally take place before it's decided wether they take it on the calendar or not.
    It's a smaller event, but Ypres has moved their event to the last week of June. It probably means the organizers know there's no WRC event that weekend.

    Probably, we'll have to wait and see...

    tommeke_B: I guess you are searching for this article: http://rally-croatia.com/news/wrc-ca...d-and-croatia/ ...in 2017 it takes place last September weekend. Most probably the spot for 2018 will be really second half of June
    Visit South Moravia. It is the real paradise

    They won't have a 14th round, so NZ is a no go. Bit of a cop out. Fine; forget about Turkey/ Croatia.......what can they offer??

    What a farce. If this was about safety, the first rally they would drop would be Monte Carlo, where a guy actually died this year and where there have been openly stated concerns about spectator safety for years. I'm not saying the should actually drop Monte Carlo, I think motorsport in general is in a downward spiral of health and safety gone mad. But if you were a complete safety wanker, the first rally you should go after, if you have a modicum of integrity and intellectual honesty, is Monte Carlo.

    What about the other complaints of crazy stuff at Rally Poland, like the fire truck that went onto a live stage. Hey, did anyone remember that the exact same thing just happened at Rally Germany? Where's the fake outraged media coverage of that?

    Goddamn corrupt hypocrites, the lot of them. I can't stand that.

    Didn't know the Police car drove into Rally traffic...

    Poland should have been long gone

    September for Turkey.

    It's excellent news!

    Shame about NZ... still need to get back into the WRC!!

    Croatia would be a great asphalt addition to be honest.

    Well if we're just taking into consideration what *actually* happened on a rally as opposed to what *could* have happened, then the first rally that should go should be Monte Carlo, since a spectator was *actually* killed there. So why aren't you saying Monte Carlo should be long gone?

    Didn't they want to add Japan a while back because of Toyota's return to the sport?
