I agree, Corsica should stay and a French round should always be on the calender anyway, especially when there's a French 5-time World Champion driving around in a competitive French car.

In the case of San Remo, I hope with the plan to make it a mixed event again, that it could be a WRC candidate in the near future instead of the bland Sardinia event.

I just sincerely hope to see Vatanen getting the FIA presidency, because I think it would do good for rallying. It's our turn already! :)

Tour de Corse any day! Beautiful rally it is!

You haven't got a very wide view of actual Sardinia route. It's not as 2004, it has a precise identity now. And for 2010, they're thinking about mixed surfaces. Using roads, formerly on gravel and now on tarmac, where Henri Toivonen won a Costa Smeralda Rally in '80. Not bad, tho... :cool: :cool: :cool:

Seems like not a bad idea to me. When you have a car which is already not the best you can't afford to have slow drivers too.

Why then sign them for only 1-2 rallies? Its nothing but a publicity stunt, also i dont think drivers who actually has stopped their carreer has the best motivation.

But Gronholm is still quick..
