Too small budget to host a WRC event...Quote:

Hopefully dates can be sorted out soon as I'm keen to see where I can go ;)
Jamie is not nessesary to bring back Safari as it was.They can bring back with modern configuration ie smaller ss etc.Quote:

Yes it would have to be done the "modern" way, however I was there for the African Championship round last year and whilst absolutely spectacular it just wouldn't be allowed to run like that in the WRC, the FIA wouldn't have it. Organisational issues, "closed" roads which traffic was still on, marshals giving up and leaving halfway through stages which leads to obvious spectator issues. They would need to have a huge injection of money as well. I would love to see it running and if it is I'll definitely be there to see it, but as I said the FIA (and probably the teams) wouldn't do it. But if they are looking at having a marathon/endurance event, and getting some classic events back into the calendar, it would be ideal.Quote:

When are dates likely to be sorted out, does anyone know?
Thanks for the question, J4mie. :) There's nothing to be heared in Uruguay's limited motoring press. Argentines don say much either - they got the news by Autosport too. It must be a Thursday street special stage in Montevideo, then a quick trip to Córdoba.
