Sweden/Norway Start it in Lillehammer, Day 1 in Norway, Day 2 + 3 in Sweden. Best of both rallies.
Safari Look up the TV broadcasts + rally guides of the recent Safari rallies. Not the marathon that it was before (2012 had 322 competitive km), but still the spectacle. Closed roads are already in place, as they should be. It would be easy to add a couple more stages in the same area to bring the competitive km to around 400+km, adding a third day in the process. National Rally could take place over 2 days.
Portugal Good, but needs improvement. Find some tarmac roads or something, and see if you can fit Fafe in there somewhere. Would be a long liaison, but who cares?
Acropolis Good. Perhaps longer?
United States or Canada Hey! Don't shoot me down just yet, hear me out. Either a rally using gravel and tarmac roads by Denver/Pikes Peak etc, or a Rally of the Tall Pines style rally in Ontario, Canada. Red Bull should sponsor it, get Pastrana and Block involved, get the US Press into it.Argentina Continue with the long route, it's great.
Finland Good. Few more stages around Lahti? Keep Ouninpohja, obviously.
Germany Mmm. A good car market, but Alsace just next door. Would prefer a Strasbourg-Trier joint France-Germany event, but if I had to choose between the two, Germany gets the nod.
European Round Tempted by a 24 hour blast round the gravel tracks and tarmac roads of Cyprus, day or night. Perhaps a Eastern European Tarmac round - Bulgaria, Slovenia, Czech Republic etc, that would be different. What about going back to Corsica? An Possibly could be a Belgian/Dutch round - similar to Ypres. Or a Baltic Rally - 3 days, 3 countries, unknown gravel roads. Or what about Ireland - a Treacherous tarmac rally. Dunno about this round.
Malaysia Chance of government backing, and by big brands such as Petronas. There are lots of palm oil plantations and forests with narrow muddy tracks that surround the Sepang F1 circuit (a perfect Service venue + possible SSS) as well as the forests around the airport next door. Challenging roads, nothing like anywhere else on the calendar, and Malaysia is a growing car market. Why not?
New Zealand/Australia Since we are already in this part of the world, let's stick around for one of two classic events. Rotate each year. If I had to pick, New Zealand.
Catalunya/Sanremo Rotate between the mixed surface Catalunya, and a mixed surface Sanremo. Catalunya needs to start using the Tarmac in the Pyrenees, above Barcelona, again. Sanremo needs to find some gravel roads in Tuscany to use. If I had to pick, probably Catalunya.
RAC Enough said. If it has to stay in Wales, use all of Wales in a blast from North to South. Otherwise move the rally up North to use Kielder, Grizedale and Dalby etc.
14 rounds.
3 simple rules
Drivers drop scores in 3 events, not entering a event also counts as dropping a score.Drivers have to visit at least 3 long-haul events (Safari, Argentina, USA, New Zealand, Malaysia).
Drivers have to visit at least 1 event on each surface (Snow, Tarmac, Gravel)
>> Red Bull Media House, job done. email me, I'll happily join the team. :P
Sorry Mexico, even the long stages you added last year isn't enough for me to save you...
Всем привет! Вы всегда уверены что правы?
This is English speaking forum. Use English, please.
Bring back Safari, no 1.
Then old Australia (Perth), then old RAC (Kielder etc), then Corsica instead of Alsace.
wrc need sponspors so they have to go middle east..
