Well, Yves Matton already said several times (public) that Kubica may do some events with WRC next year, but not the whole championship... ;)
I think Kubica can start the 2014 season in the WRC.
His progress is huge :)
What about the WRC calendar 2014?
Any news?

They dropped Acropolis and exchanged it with Rajd Polski
Would be great if Poland was again WRC ;)
In 2009, it was great
By throwing acropolis out of the championship they just destroy-decompose the wrc.Im not saying that as greek but i support this as a wrc fun.Iwould say the same thing for tour de corse, monte,sweden porugal,italy,finland,rac,safari.When todt became fia chairman i was expecting totally different approach towards rallying because of his prior experience,i was expecting wrc to thrive during todts days.Unfortunatelly i was wrong.I really dont understand what are they trying to achieve by making that kind of moves.Something that i also cannot understand is the high fee that a rally must pay in order to be part of wrc.Do they have that big need for money?(fia and promoters)

Acropolis was a shadow of its former shelf once they moved it to Athens for the dogs of the capital to feast on it...from the then on it was crap....simple as that... the last few years survived due to some people spending their own money and they fully deserve every credit but still the event was crap...
The WRC will survive no matter what... so my advice is that the organisers should live up to its standards and not just wait for the FIA to choose them because of tradition.
@NOT
I met a lot of people from all over the europe in ss or in sp the last years and all of them were excited with acropolis.Explain to me why you thing the rally is not good since it moved to athens.Of course my preference is central greece(lamia)because of the beautiful ss but i dont think it sucks since it is moved to athens.It is well knwon that people from north greece hate athens and this is why you talk about dogs from athens,because they took the event far from north greece.When it was in central greece people from north greece were able to follow the event,now its difficult for them.The problem for you is Athens and nothing else.NOT you confirm the rule (by saying about dogs from athens)that a lot of people from north greece are prejudiced against athens.(even for an earthquake in north greece athens is to blame for)Τhanks again for confirming the rule.
As I've said elsewhere, an event shouldn't change just so it can remain in the WRC. Making all events the same has ruined many events. And once changed - it's not possible to go back.
Αndy if you talk about acropolis i must inform you that even the location has changed our rally remains the toughest in the callendar and the character of the rally hasnt changed.i must also mention that south greece was part of rally acropolis during the epic decades of the past.South greece is not something strange for acropolis ,it used to be part of the rally for MANY years.Now it is just the main part.
