Acropolis Rally Greece 2022 (8-11 Sep)

It would be a good choice to move the rally from Lamia to loutraki.

There will probably be a new government and new mayors in Loutraki and Lamia by this time next year,so take nothing for granted. Even the rally itself could well not take place... It's just the sad truth.

isn't the contract for 3 years ? so next years rally is guaranteed ?

Without the vast government support the last iterations of Acropolis have received, nothing is guaranteed. Don't think especially you need to be told how things work in Greece...

Lets not spread rumors once again. Rally Acropolis has contract for at least one more year. Lets not speculate.

Its not that i trust greeks... but i trust the FIA vultures when it comes to money that they have their asses covered.

“The engine started but 200 metres later it switched off again. The belt had jumped off again, so I think the bearing of the alternator broke was broke.”

Same as I mentioned, those one way bearings tend to break. Had to bend the belt back on by loosening the alternator since had no tool
