Didn't they do Rally Argentina?

http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/116379 yes finally some sensible thinking at last!!!

Common sense at last - for now. What is the next mad cap idea Capito, Ciesla & RedBull will come up with??? Any ideas??

Fortunately, it seems as if Todt is going to have a more hands on role in the WRC future.

rallying is not about being the fastest on a few stages.

They still need to get rid of Ciesla and WRC Promoter (unfortunately they are powerless to get rid of Capito) & get a promoter in that will PROMOTE the championship, not try to alter the way the sport works, & has worked for many decades.

Judging for one season is too soon. Kubica will progress. That´s for sure. Let´s talk next year this time. He has all qualitys to be a top five guy in WRC.

According to this article: http://www.rallye-magazin.de/rallyes...mmt/index.html, there will be almost no changes to WRC format. There will be no shoot-out (luckily), no points at end of each day, only starting order will be changed. If i understand it right, championship leader will be first on the road on friday and saterday, whilst on sunday it will be reversed order.;) Seems Jost has lost his fight for shootout.
