Come on, how can be true that?

A WRC season without a GERMAN round while VOLKSWAGEN is involved? :rotflmao:

Mexico will go and China won't get in - only Poland and Brazil in my view but hey sometimes I'm wrong ;)

You prefer it in the South? To be honest I prefer the South aswell, we will see how things work in the North.

I would think that too.
Note that there is only day 1.8 at this picture. So not the whole rally days.

Almost everyone who goes to Algarve prefer the rally there, great stages, great service park location, it's all there!. Most of the people that says that the rally should go north, stopped watching rallying in 2001 when the rally moved his location and they lost the rally in their doorsteps. Since then the rally is crap!

2 WRC Fafe Sprint run perfectly, without incidents. People change, rules change, and organzations change... If the rally will be at North, i have no doubts that it will be a fantastic event with safety.

The only crazy people, now, are the photographers ; :)

What i wrote down there is what i think i the calendar will be from the article in autosport, it looks as if it will be like it, but it's not final and it's only my opinion. sorry for the mix up.

There will have to be a round in either Australia or New Zealand in order to meet the principles of number of continents and FIA regions to be covered. The question is whether rotation will continue or whether NZ will get dumped.

I also don't believe that both Brazil and China will be given slots. Neither have confirmed that a candidate event is going to take place yet, so they won't put them on the calendar.

Mexico wil stay, it's needed to hit the 'North American' continent requirement.

I think it will be the same as this year, but with no Greece.
