[WRC] News & rumours (part II)

[quote="N.O.T"]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.[/quote

it is still early to know the calendar. Lets wait for the official calendar and not the 'inside' info of every forum-page etc

By the way, what are all these &*&*&*&* that you write about the Acropolis rally. I thought all the greeks want Acropolis in the calendar. But NOT is always NOT

Let's hope that the Acropolis will be in next year's calendar!!! So, we have to wait...Off course we all want the Acropolis in the WRC calendar every year, Lampros!!! Don't listen to NOT... ;)

The Acropilis is a good event because if the top drivers get punctures and suspension failures, the other drivers have the chance of a good result.
The Acropolis is one of the oldest rallies in the WRC.

I cannot belive why N.O.T dosen't want Greece in the WRC anymore.

N.O.T says that Acropolis Rally, as it has been run in the last couple of years, was "crappy" (changing pathetic locations, etc.), so itz better "kill" the event. Just like France has done with Tour de Corse. Do you remember 2005 edition? Twelve stages through all the weekend, using 3 or 4 roads. That's not Tour De Corse. That was crap. Genuine crap.

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

I really can't even more understand why Catalunya is again on the calendar. There is already talk for years that it won't be again in the calendar.

Still, this calendar will change a lot in the next months... We all know the reputation of the FIA.

In 2005 I think they should have changed the name of the event from 'Tour de Corse', to 'The Corsican Rally'. Whatever the name it was a total Loeb domination.

Wales Rally GB is just in Wales now, (although for the last two years they have been a bit further North). It used to go right across the UK.
