Money talks.
Australian's buy 1.2 million new cars a year. It's one of the top per capita new car sales markets in the entire world (after the US).
Top brands:
- Toyota
- Mazda
- Hyundai
- Mitsubishi
- Ford
NZ's buy 160,000 new cars.
I can see why Australia is a favoured place to go...
but there are only 10 people on the stages and the stages and service park are middle of nowhere
thats what the teams are complaining about Rally Australia, its just not only about car sales.
How many more would you expect in NZ?
It may have nice roads, but it's not known for its huge spectator numbers either.....
I was there in 2012 (I'm from the UK, so not trying to push a pro-Aus theme here) and it was not exactly over-run with spectators, and the service park in Auckland was a disaster.
We need to be careful to not attached some sort of 'golden glow' to something that was not really that good....
So it wouldn't be wrong to assume next year's calendar will be something like: MC, Sweden, Mexico, Argentina, Chile, Portugal, Sardegna, Kenya, Finland, Turkey, NZ, Japan, Spain & Ireland(?)
If they say they don't want the island rallies and they boot out Corsica, by that logic, Sardegna should be out no? Why can't they leave Germany in the calendar? It's location is ideal to attract people from more than just Germany, they have very nice stages, Japan will be a Tarmac event anyhow, why not keep it & have more Tarmac events??
Well, if i remember correctly, someone behind his kitchen table just claimed, after visiting Otago rally, that it was packed with spectators.
