In same way the Dakar “mediatic” interest that keeps hundreds of fans glued to the screen for 15 days, is linked with the standardization of the WRC rallys that took place in the late 90’s.
There’s no need to make up “super-rally” schemes or featuring super special stages in amazing and odd places, just respect the Rally Spirit and the old days legacy…Rally addict since 1982

maybe the fact that our chances of having a national driver on the series are near 0% actually help that the interest doesn't go up and down like in the UK.
but back on topic, I don't think the "winter" calendar changes anything... instead of starting with Monte and finishing with Wales Rally, it starts with Rally Finland and finishes with Rally Greece or Turkey without changing the actual dates, right?Fan of Timo Glock and proud of it! :champion: 3 podiums, new start as a Virgin :p
At 19:15 Saturday, the FIA are announcing a new WRC event for 2025 at Sardegna. The event, I don't know - perhaps Paraguay.
