Than there is a question if it's good to run rally on specially built roads...
I don't see a problem with this in this scale. For some weird reason I like Rally Jordan because it's so specialized event due to the "weird" roads...Quote:

Yes, I hope WRC doesn't turn into F1 where there are now many circuits in the middle of a wasteland all designed by the same man supposed to be "exciting" but actually turn out to be the blandest races on the calendar.Quote:

Markko comments: "Yes, Oliver gave me a call after the midnight and asked me if I can reach to Jordan by the start of the rally. He sent me his private jet and now I am here. There was French-English dictionary in the plane, so now I know already a few words like: quitté, juste, le saut, la prudence. It should not be too difficult with the best car on the field. Yeah, I think it should be possible to fight for the win from the start."
Quensel continues: "You know, when I realized that Sebastian cannot take part in the rally then I first called to Chris (Atkinson), but he was already surfing in Gold Coast and mobile was switched off. I also tried Duval but he had something against driving in Asia and stuff. Then Urmo (Aava) gave me Markkos contacts and he was agree".
Question about what happened to Loeb was left without answer. However we managed to get some rumors that Conrad (Rautenbach) throw him a driving glow yesterday after shakedown and they planned to continue what was cut short two years ago. Duel was expected to held on sunrise somewhere in Nebo Mountain. Since then, no one has seen either side...

And as for WRC, it may turn out even thougher, Petter will be in full attack mood with his new toy, and as he declared, he may play tactics here.
So let the game begin... !! :) :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:
