They want Monte Carlo to be first. "Rally Sweden returns as round two for next year, following a successful event earlier this month. The other rallies listed are: Rally Mexico, Rally Portugal, Abu Dhabi Rally, Rally Argentina, Rally Italy (running in Sardinia again, but with a mainland start - reckoned to be in Rome), Rally of Turkey, Rally Finland, Rally Germany, Rally Australia, Rally France, Catalunya Rally, and Rally GB."

Looks good to me. Shame that Ireland and Poland are out, although Poland is a reserve with Norway, which could open if Monte Carlo stay in the IRC.

i would not mind if Noway would replace Monte, also i would rather see Poland instead of Turkey.

Pity if Norway won't be in the calendar, was there 2009 and find it much better than Sweden.

I really can't understand why they insist on keeping Turkey on the calender. Very curious about that.

I hope an African event can get into the calender in 2012, preferably Safari of course.

I belive there will be, but I think it will not be in Kenya but in SA.

Can be that they dont have the money to arrange the rally in Greece, I guess that soon there will be a Chineese round as well, especially when next year a Chineese team joins the WRC.

the calendar looks good....my only dissapointment is that NZ is out, its a magnifiscent event. Poland was also great and turkey has nothing to offer over it. If argentina manages to have a good organisation then the event is also great.

I am glad the athenian pigdogs didn't get a round...they had the perfect event in 2004 and then moved the event to pig city to accomodate their celebrities and the fat greek rich tourist boy rally drivers....very nice.

this would also be the reason last year they sold the event to a casino to manage and run it and Vovos also gave great financial help....also 2 years before that the ERC round was cancelled because of financial reasons. To be honest the way the event was run the last few years it wasn't much of a loss
