As a driver I would love to participate in Turkey (although I can't because my car is not new and it can participate only in national championship rallies).
As a spectator, I just promised myself to go to Marmaris next year. I know well that if you sit on fast sections you can see great things as the cars are almost all the time "up on the air".
As a Greek I would prefer to have Acropolis in the calendar, of course. But I know from the inside that this is not going to happen in the following years because of lack of money, so I welcome Turkey and I wish it remains in the calendar. A rally of this kind is needed.
