Spot on. Months of samey gravel rounds makes no sense. Mix it up and also lets have more tarmac rallies in total.

Of course they can do rally event in South Africa. But for sure not in "old style format" of Safari Rally...

Petter doesn't exclude the chance a comeback to WRC, if it's private entry all good..

It is very easy - why he should exclude any chance to comeback? If there will be some sponsor who will be interested and will pay it, why not?

Yawn.........I skip watching every tarmac rally unless it is really wet or snowy. They used to be good to watch in the 90's. The cars moved around a lot more.

Cars are working too perfectly on tarmac, especially WRC. I must say that watching turbocars on tarmac is not so beautiful, especially now with limited number of tyres. But watching S2000 cars with good drivers, when they must stay all the time in high revs, it was also nice. And also drivers with R5 are not so bad to watch... Maybe it is also about the events and their route...

http://www.corsematin.com/article/sp...e.1623299.html Tour de Corse would be in the best position to replace Rallye d'Alsace for WRC. :)

...and Rally du Valais can replace Corse in ERC!!! great!!
