@Simorally86, you are right that the current WRC cars are not so spectacular in tarmac hairpins and junctions. I prefer watching the cars on faster places, and don't have any complaints about the spectacle modern rallycars provide... :)
I wouldn't mind a tarmac event in Poland (or Czech Republic), in stead of the gravel Rajd Polski (no matter how nice it is). :) The bumpy narrow tarmac roads in PL and CZ, that would be a new challenge for the teams and drivers.
they should do the following:
Monte-Carlo
Sweden
Mexico/Brazil
Portugal
Argentina
Greece
Sardegna
Poland
Finland
Germany
New-Zealand
Spain
Wales GB
and in 2015 bring back Corsica if possible, and if Rally Sweden can't be there, put Norway instead or even Canada or something like that. One more thing, i really wish they would bring Rally Australia back to Perth, although if it comes down to NZ or Australia, take NZ.
unique is long gone within the wrc, all rallies now is the same formula including the names.Quote:

About modern rally cars...well, i'm a nostalgic of the first era of WRC cars...on termac was really high spectacle...i live close to SanRemo, and i had the fortune to see every year SanRemo, MonteCarlo, Tour de Corse and often old Catalunya in Vic...in my opinion there is no comparison with nowadays cars...instead, on gravel, modern wrc are amazing as well!Quote:

Their more or less the same length
They're all have 3-4 stages before lunch and then after lunch its the same 3-4 stages repeated.
They all/most of them got at least one super special.
The only possible unique with Rally Sweden is that its a shared event between Sweden and Norway.
so in a couple of weeks time, new calendar for 2014 set to be revealed...
