YepIO heard that. FIA has already asked Arg. organizaers if they faced any problem in doing that change, and Argentineans agreed on any of both weeks.
It is expected taht FIA confirms the date within November.

Argentina's orginizers rather agree to anything and do a great job as we were used to before last horrendous edition. Argentina needs a top-level orginazation again to show that the last edition won't happen again.

What happened last time around?Thursday super special was held in River Plate's stadium in Buenos Aires (700km away from Cordoba), teams were supposed to fly to Cordoba after the stage and the cars travelled in trucks but there were storms, problems in the airports and leg one that was supposed to be run on friday in Cordoba was cancelled because not everybody could get there.
Only saturday and sunday legs were run with one stage added to complete the minimun ammount of kms for the race to be official.
A disaster.
