Heh, I went to university in Armidale.
I always thought this, on the Armidale-Kempsey Road, would make for an awesome stage:

Colin Clark tweeted earlier today that the WRC calendar is likely to include 12 rounds including China. Most likely is NZ and Italy to be removed. Also French round likely to be back in Corsica
I'm no mathematician, but given that NZ wasn't on the calendar this year, doesn't that mean another event needs to get dumped as well?Quote:

Hope not to remove Acropolis...
@rallyfiend I know, but that's all the info coming in so far...
Hopefully we are going to be faced by more surprises when the calendar is signed by the FIA, Acropolis is one of the classics and it HAS to stay
WRC Academy Fiesta's will drive now with with bio feul

Well after 2012 several sources have indicated the WRGB is at the last chance saloon. However November timing, improved route, (hopefully) bigger crowds and WRC2/3 may still be open should provide a great event, However the lack of 5 star overnight accommodation in North Wales (expect La Mouton to be in an exclusive country spa hotel) might be a problem for the hangers-on.Quote:

Yes, engine running on E85 or alike is more powerful, I believe mainly because of high percentage of oxygen in the fuel which allows using richer mixture. Of course the fuel consumption grows a lot as well.
That's the reason why Dutch drivers are fond of this, GEM Fuel is also partnered with two Dutch Manufacturers.
Lots of rumors about that, recently I read that China is not an option any more as they would have to drive 1800km from Pekin/Beijing which could be logistic nightmare. They speculated about Russia or Poland rather than Brasil.Quote:

I hope not also. This is the home Rally for Bulgarians :)Quote:

You guys better agree how to recognise each other as you are not likely to get a 'This is a Rally' t-shirt delivered in time!!Quote:

So, the new promoter company actually has a company.
How many months has it been....?
In an interview Ciesla released to Italian magazine Rally Emotion, he said they were already working like the company. Today's announcement is just a juridical thing...Quote:
