WRC 2009 12 Rounds
World Motor Sport Council Decisions at FIA.com
Seems that somebody starts to think in the benefit of the champioship. With less rallyes, maybe 3 cars per team..... I'm dreaming??To finish first, first you must to finish!

That's good news, hope that means longer routes.
Also, from FIA's press release.
For the rest of the 2007 season, it is reiterated that World Rally events cannot be run without an efficient safety tracking system in place, as deemed by the FIA.

Backward step. Reduce costs but not the number of rallies. Less rallies, less media, less sponsors?

From 2009, there will be 12 events in the FIA World Rally Championship. A detailed regulation around this decision will be examined by the FIA World Rally Championship Commission and presented to the WMSC in October.
Great! Reduce cost!
From 2012, it was agreed in principle that world rally cars will be four-wheel drive and turbo-charged, based on mass-produced Group N and S2000 specification cars. Cost reducing measures will also be introduced.
Interesting... We will see what happens then...

This is in because ISC wants money for this(?)

I though that there was already a safety tracking system on the rally cars. It was introduced in Rally Australia after the crash of Colin McRae in Corsica, in 2001 ?

No suprises there then............I never forget a face, but in your case I'll be glad to make an exception.

Wet conditions. Portuguese Autosport brought something to the table... the WRC2 crews are using a WRC spec tyre that is harder than the spec Meeke and other CPR runners are using.
