NZ - The best roads and stages in the WRC - madness to leave it out.
GB - Once a classic, now a pale shadow. Leaving it out for a year or two may do the event good and give the organisers a kick up the backside.

Well for a start GB wont be counted as an island rally! It part of the WRC structure, and the UK is not an island off the mainland, it is the mainland....even though it's lost it's empire!

Last years Rally GB was amazing and the organisers got it right with the National B rally, Andy Burton was the best car I witness on the whole event, and ever on a WRC round. It's the coverage that needs to change, if the rest of the world saw AB in the National they would come and watch. I had a rally virgin with me and he said the best driver and car was Andy Burton and his 306 Cosworth, and we only saw him in Radnor! 4 stages of Loeb, Ogier Hirvonen (who was very entertaining), Solberg etc and 1 stage of Andy Burton.......and AB wins!

The WRC need to have wider coverage of rallying in general, just like the good old days, lol!

Long live Andy Burton!

Definately not just a rumor. For example Hänninen has made it pretty clear that he's doing preliminary work for VW group this season. What is not clear is that will the brand be Volkswagen or Škoda but that does not really matter.

Sadly, this is the last year that Andy Burton can use his awesome Peugeot-Cosworth......

Time will tell, IT IS ONLY CHALLENGE LEFT FOR HIM !! he can be motivated to be champion in other make .... !!!

Citroen will want to use Loebs name for promotional reasons long after he retires...so no VW for him.
