That 100.000€ does not really make a big difference to the almost 1.5million€ loses reported...

Once more, the FIA fee has nothing to do with the troubles Rally Norway is experiencing. Last report quoted a loss of 20,1 mill. NOK, which is appr. 2,5 mill. Euros. This again means that a lot of companies delivering goods and services to the event faces huge losses. So far the political opinion regarding this event and its future has been extremely pro, but I fear the pipe will play another tune when local businesses (in the rally region) gets into troubles because they won`t get paid.

This is a very bad situation.....too see probably 1 of the best rounds of the 2007 championship in this mess.
The blame once again is down to the FIA and Dave Richards!!!

That is a big call.

Neither of them run the rally.

I suppose you need to blame someone else, and FIA and Richards are big targets.

While we're at it I blame them for global warming, war in Iraq, that girl who went missing in Portgugal, for the recent rise in interest rates and everything else that isn't sunshine and lollipops :p

Absolutely. They should be tried for war crimes too.

Does the ISC charge anything for organising a WRC meeting? And/or do they claim anything, like Bernie claims all commercial signs on 'his' tracks?

The round is responsible for organising the round.
