Yalta has veeery difficult stages and beautiful scenery. I saw also a lot of interest from public on photos.

Is there that much? I t must be quite crowded over there. :)

Truly beautifull scenery. I like the fact that some new horizonts are being pulled to the international rally World.

Although it's sad to see some classic events go, other country's deserve to have the opportunity aswell and who knows, maybe 20 years from now they will have classic status.

I'm sure that was chosen for political expediency, rather than financial reasons.

biased, biased, biased .....

Just imagine: The Solberg Brothers cant get a drive in WRC in 2011, and swithces to IRC.
PG gets a Proton deal for the whole season, and a couple of the other MC drivers do the same.
The IRC championship lineup would then look something like this:

SOLBERG Petter / PATTERSON Chris 207 S2000
GARDEMEISTER Toni / TUOMI Tomi 207 S2000
DELECOUR François / SAVIGNONI Dominique 207 S2000
WILKS Guy / PUGH Philip 207 S2000
SARRAZIN Stéphane / RENUCCI Jacques Julien 207 S2000
BRYNILDSEN Eyvind / MENKERUD Cato FABIA S2000
LOIX Freddy / MICLOTTE Frédéric FABIA S2000
KOPECKY Jan / STARY Petr FABIA S2000
HANNINEN Juha / MARKKULA Mikko FABIA S2000
MIKKELSEN Andreas / FLOENE Ola FABIA S2000
SOLBERG Henning / MINOR Ilka FIESTA S2000
ATKINSON Chris / PREVOT Stéphane PROTON SATRIA NEO S2000
ANDERSSON Per Gunnar / ? PROTON SATRIA NEO S2000

Would send a pretty strong signal to FIA on their planning capability.......

If, if, would, would...

Beautiful land for rallying, Yalta, seeing the pics above :)
