Is it the case that they want all the stages to be in Wales and not going into England at all ?
It is still Wales Rally GB after all ...

Absolutely, got to be 100% xxxxx (insert any non-perjurative term to describe the adjective for matters concerning the extreme westerly prominence of the island of Great Britain.)Quote:

Personally, as Jerry Willaims says in his latest MaxRally column - a new sponsor really needs to be found - and newer 'non Welsh' stages can be used; which can only improve the event.
However, what we have this year looks a huge improvement - time will tell whether the changes are a success.
Yes it would be great to find a new sponsor prepared to take Rally GB back to the new / old stages - has Jerry W found a magic lamp? Remember 2011 was meant to be the year of the return to northern Britain - it didn't happen and as I see it the economic situation remains the same regarding sponsors queuing up to be associated with rallying in the UK. I think the best we can hope for is that the proposed event is a big success; a) to safeguard the UK round in the calender and b) to encourage future innovation / new sponsors.
Oh dear Phil, I expect a whole-hearted apology next time I see you!Quote:
