Not over yet - Jean Todt and the FIA have the final say. OK the promo guys and Olivier Quensel have said about "no market in NZ, and the cost of getting there etc" - but if TV is the main player then Whanga Coast is probably the visually most spectacular stage in the world. NZ still has the best kept secret in rallying - its called The Silver Fern Rally - check that out.Quote:

Moving Rallye De France to Alsace is a mistake, having Rallye d'Italia start in Roma and shipping everything to Sardegna is an even bigger mistake. I really despair.
And what about them building special roads in Abu Dhabi for the rally?Quote:

Abu Dhabi rally would be awfully boring, like Jordan.
That's what I fear.Quote:

Pg aims for four more rallies this year.

Even though I am a fan of BP Abu Dhabi WRT, I think the Abu Dhabi rally would fundamentally only really benefit the Abu Dhabi tourist board.Quote:
