Portugal had the same kind of problems years ago with Tourism of Portugal which is almost exclusively funded by the government (or the taxes of gambling), however the local counties saved the funding.
If the WRC was in a better state it could attract big money commercial sponsors - instead of regional government/ tourist boards....who pull the plug when it no longer suits them.
Dampers of Citroën C3 WRC seems to be in the angular position like VW, and Ford. Leaves only Hyundai with the straight up-and-down (French style), if they carry it over to the 2017 car.Quote:

Podcast from Mayor of Coffs Harbour talking to local radio station about Coffs Harbour Council withdrawing sponsorship to Rally Australia WRC round

so for now..no Rally Australia in 2016, if they don't move it to Perth maybe the FIA should give that slot to NZ...Quote:

2016-2017 100% will be there but only getting sponsors from other companies and tourism but not from the city... which is a shame. From then onwards, who knows!

We have begun negotiations to extend our participation to at least 2020, with the obvious potential for even greater community benefits."

Robert Kubica and LOTOS are no longer working together. LOTOS stated that Kubica is starting a new career.

That is one interpretation of what is being said. Press releases can be read different ways. I don't pretend to know what's going on but I read this as the support the event HAD ensured it was given a place on the calendar for '16/'17. Not that the events themselves will run.Quote:

Ahhh... thank you pantealex
http://www.autosport.com/news/report...nitored-by-fia in case you forgot about it, also Poland is mentioned in there regarding safety issues
Just an example of why the WRC is important to NZ and why NZ is important to the WRC

There you go. Rally Aus will be in the 2016/17 Calendar but in future it'll be moved else where

Very polite, I'm sure, but what is your source about Kubica? You can't be surprised or annoyed by people asking you to substantiate rumors, especially with your track record.Quote:

He had a whole year to impress anyone he wanted to now its too late.
Yeah but he seems to be the fastest non-wrc driver at the momentQuote:

All other factors aside, which 10 current drivers (participating in rallies in 2016) would you say should fill those seats, on a purely 'by talent' basis?
I'm genuinely curious to know, seeing as you frequently put down all but the top 2 or 3 and teams that consider other drivers, as to who you think should be in the factory seats.
