Oil Money + Government full support.
I suppose this will be the most competitor friendly and possibly most amazing rally on the calender. Hope theirs some stages through epic deserts give us a taste of safari back.

Haven't seen much of conditions and so on yet however as always, give everything a try once, who knows, if it really doesn't turn out they don't have to go back...
Well , Australia lost its government support...
Lucky NZ is so close for WRC huh! haha
lol
What's in it? I've read that teams are not pleased about going to Jordan but is there something more in this?Quote:

I also new a few Brits who some years ago when Rally Jordan was first talked about said that they wouldn't be relaxed about going.Quote:
