Fingers crossed for the event as I'll be heading over for it.
At 28, Thierry Neuville loop his third season with the team Hyundai WRC. It interests many teams, including Citroen and his current employer, and Belgium agreed to discuss his future with our microphone.
"I have not decided for next year. Today there is no decision was taken. And everything is still open. We'll have to wait a little bit. Even for me, c is a phase where the forward wants to overtake me but we must wait and consider everything we are well advanced in negotiations Hopefully, by Spain (note: from 13 to 16 October).., have news. Everyone talks to me about this for five rallies. today, I can announce for nothing is nothing decided, "he detailed Thursday during the Tour de Corse.
At Hyundai, we ask some questions but we opted for the most obvious possible strategy: clarity. "We always negotiate because it wants to keep Thierry. It was the start and three seasons together. I do not know why this train, you have to ask to Thierry. We are optimistic and he knows very well what he can find in our team. for him to take stock and make a decision. I do not know who he still speaks now. on our side, it's very clear, "argued Alain Penasse, the builder's team manager Hyundai.

Wait. sorry, got carried away. Election year over here.

Back to the topic and Toyoda’s flexibility argument. Amen, free routes and schedules should be the norm, not the copy paste 9 to 5 double loops, but probably that would be a hard way to get WRC into new publics (yes, we need them). Every sport has to have some kind of uniformization; that’s the best way to make them understandable to the public and gain new fans.
Honestly I think we can have competitive rallys with only 250 ss kms in one and a half days, as long we get rid of short running schedules and small loops routes. But besides those sprint lookalike events we must also have 4 or 5 old school long rallys on the WRC: a sort of Grand Slam, with two events in Europe (MC and GB), one in AP (NZ) and one on the Americas (ARG).
For the WRC calendar Turkey has the agreement with FIA as I heard from official and annocement will be at 30th November with final schdule

The status of some Kurdish areas in south-eastern part of the country can be rightfully called a civil war as well. I also don't think it's good idea to go there.

The i20 is a big car. The three-door version is about the same size as the four-door one.Quote:

I never see these comments that Europen cities under attack of terror!
So FIA decide where a WRC leg will take action.
I am always welcome to honest comments but not to aggresive keyboard heros. :)

It's a quite bold statement that Turkey is the safest in the Europe... Makes me wonder where people make these things up. I haven't seen any attacks in Northern Europe. But I wouldn't call Turkey unsafe as well....

Turkey is fine as long as they organise the event in a place where people are interested in motorsports, because the last WRC outings where disappointing.
I would not consider Turkey more dangerous than France.

That's all only for Istanbul city in last 9 months. The last similar terror attack in my country happened on 26.1.1972 when a Yugoslavian airliner was bombed in our airspace. According to You my country isn't safe or isn't in Europe. I don't agree with both options.
Yeah they are all right thats why I told Eurpe and Middle East line. Turkey stay between Europe toIraq and Syria problems and make a bumper to all terror attacks. Even Russians are at Syria which has no meaing and also we are dealing with second taliban as ISID because we are the only border democratic country try to stop them.Quote:

Bring the WRC to Aussie and NZ, both countries are pretty safe and rather good in a scrap as history can confirm, but we are a tad smarter that most in that we show off our ability in a scrap offshore rather than at home.
I dont think event security will be a problem i think organization can deal with that somehow. Turkey doesn't have any big rally event since 2011? At the moment they have an ERT event, upgrading that to an WRC event is a big step. So, i think the real question is, are they ready Organization wise ( Stewards etc..)?
I doubt Turkey will have a WRC event next year, for them having a ERC event first would be also a good option.
It would be nice to have a rough gravel event and going to a beautiful country especially coast side but at the end FIA makes the decision so we will see.
since 2010, shame Greece didn't get the slot, or even Japan instead of China.Quote:

I said nothing about politics. I only listed some raw facts. This forum is a place to discuss where to hold an WRC event and I just like some other people don't agree to hold it in Turkey as we don't see it as a safe option and as You can see there are quite serious arguments for our position.Quote:

Safety/danger perception has two levels. One is what the media and governments say and the other is what's it really like on the spot. I'll take Iran as an example. Iran hasn't been portrayed exactly as a friendly country but being there you'll understand how wrong the whole mass media portrayal is.
Turkey has as many problems with attacks as Western Europe. The only thing that isn't exactly good is the political situation in Turkey.
The world isn't exactly normal at the moment anywhere. Lots of populism, authoritarian regimes and the seemingly never ending conflicts.
Jordan is safe too!!! But again this is from my perspective!! Media can make things worse than what actually they are.. but this is another topic
But, I would agree it is good to avoid those hot spots all together for the safety of the public. No one knows what might happen!
Of course Turkey will be safe. Unless they host the event in some area like kurdistan etc...
I don't think that would be a problem. As other said, France would be dangerous as well.
We are waiting all rally fans in 2018, you capitalist swines must taste freedom first hand, you worthless slaves of your mobiles and gadgets.
