Stages in Galicia are much slower, slippery and tricky than in Catalonia... i think it would be a good choice to forget the boring catalonian stages!
I agree it would be nice to try some more testing roads. I think it would still play into Loeb's hands but at least it adds a few more variables to the rally.Quote:

This year's Rallye de Orense, Spanish championship, not exactly the catalonian highways...

No news about Kimi today? lets fix it :-)

I still have this awful feeling that Kimi will be whisked away to F1 at the last minute. Like he is being paraded under our noses. IF Michael was on the market I could only imagine what they would pay him.
Maybe when they realise that isn't so realistic they might just remember the ex-world champion waiting in the wings. I would hope Petter/Citroen are locking him in a room right now and not letting him out until he signs.
I think its abit dangerous for useless drivers to drive WRCs...we don;t need any more tragic events.
Ignoring that last comment here's some interesting news:

Seems the announment of the 2011 calendar (first of the 'new era') is being delayed. Looks like Jean Todt wants to have a more hands on role with this calendar.
Apparently it's ok to let this slide for a while because F1 does the same thing with its calendars. Meanwhile prospective new manufacturers still have no idea where the WRC is going in 2011. I hope they weren't waiting to see which markets the WRC was entering before making any decisions.
Just sign it off Jean we havent got all year to sort this out!
Kimi Raikkonen is reported to have signed a deal with Red Bull, including a couple of rallies with Red Bull Citroen Racing. He also wants to do Le Mans.
