You are also welcome in the Acropolis Rally Meet of the forum. (http://www.motorsportforums.com/wrc/...ally-meet.html)

Quite a crap entry, looks that the privateers gets lousier year by year.

compared to the past yes the entry is rather lousy....the level of Greek rallying doesn't help either. If we exclude Athanassoulas the rest are just going to make our brains hurt....but ok the swrc entry is quite nice. Pity it did not attract any good privateers like sardinia did.

Our ferry will start on June 13 in Venice, arrival at Patras on Jun 15, 05:00 am

Well NOT as I mentioned before, especially for privateers then money has a lot to do with it. I know that even in the UK there are drivers that are keeping their cars in their garages and waiting until the economy improves until they think go back out. Unfortunately that's the way it is at the moment and even more so in Greece, hopefully it won't be too much longer before it's back to something more normal.

But hey, it gives you longer after the stage finishes to chill out, relax, have an early lunch and have a snooze under the shade of a tree before they come around again ;)

unfortunatelly and as it was pointed out earlier with the mentality we have in this country even if the situation was better you would see 20 greek privateers instead of 5 cruising through the stages....and its normal when after the event nobody has the balls to say to those tourists that they were total crap and everyone congratulates them for the finish in the event....

It's weird we thought that too here in Belgium but this year the entries of many rallies are huge! Many WRC's and some rallies full booked and have to refuse teams to start because the limit is meeted.

The Media Safty Book available:
Acropolis Rally, 16-19 June 2011 - User login

if you ask the question how many top drivers has Belgium produced over the years ?? and how many greek drivers our country produced over the years then you have your self the answer why in my country the sport is dying and in Belgium despite the economy the sport flourishes....
