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

Agree. Since 2007 Norway-Sweden 2:0 in terms of proper winter rally. This year was dissapointed due to much gravel

I dont think its so much, less than 20.000 rallypasses if they cost 50€ each.

They get entry fee of competitors etc. ASC (Dakar) wants 3 000 000 euros for town/country (in Europe) - starter..

every rally has a entry fee, with that money they pay the for the use and maintance of the roads, dakar has nothing to do with rally.

That's why the owners of ASC (Dakar) are bankars and that's business today..

you mean A.S.O. - Amaury Sport Organisation instead of ASC ?

As an Australian I would love to see a WRC round in Australia but not at the expense of having to alternate Rally NZ every second year. Rally NZ is a classic event with some of the best roads in the world and as such should be a permanent fixture.

Rally Jordan is a very good event to spectate on. The stages are all close together, access to the stages is quite good, as is access from both Amman and the Dead Sea hotels, spectator numbers are small (less crowded), and there are a few spectacular viewing spots (like the big ford that was used 4 times in 2008)...
