I think that the last paragraph on this article is silly. The writer questions the morality of having an event in Greece as it is in economic difficulties. It's not like you can't say that about South Africa.
Looks like NZ is ****ed. I don't see how Australia got spared?
I don't think it would be prudent to have 12 rallies. That would be another nail in the coffin.
Australia is heavily govt backed, so that might have something to do with it. Aus and NZ could just continue to rotateQuote:

Also why not run South Africa in summer time, so beginning or end of year :s
Keen to see what the calendar will be. I'm always keen to go to new events.
Yes that does not surprise me. Coffs Harbor is trying to get it for 3 years in a row so no more NZ is that comes true. 2 things do surprise me about Australia-NZ WRC event; I thought V8 ruled the roost in Oz so I am surprised they are fighting for the event so hard. The second is why the FIA goes to the Antipodes at all when their are other fish to fry.
That would be ideal for many of us down here but its difficult seeing manufacturers not dragging their knuckles on that. Need more that 12-13 events per year.Quote:
