There is a chance that the Polo could do Germany. Nissen alluded to this possibility in early press releases on the WRC program. Unclear how likely it is however.Quote:

Also NZ, it's another iconic event which I desperately want to go to. There have been rumours of a South African event for a while, it will be interesting to see what happens. Are we likely to get a draft calendar after the meeting on 9th May, or will we have to wait until June when it's finalised?
Nissen is no more a VW Motorsport boss. Plus I'm sure they won't homologate the car so soon. There is no reason. Maximum they will run as zero.Quote:

It can be any car I think. Rally Finland just uses unprepared road going cars provided by their sponsor (Ford Kuga last year).Quote:

Hearing rumours that Tannak may change codriver, any truth on that?!
Can the sport let their iconic events to be dropped? No Acropolis, NZ, Sanremo, Corsica...replaced by bland nonentities, not what a sport looking to grow needs. However, if they can't afford them, it's sad. It would be nice if the sport was successful that really big sponsors could be found, instead of Regional/Local/Tourist backing.Quote:
