Cyprus Rally 2009 Mixed surface event

[jacko]

I was there back in 2000, great country but i was there for the rally. Nice stages to watch, technical for the drivers because of the many slow corners (it's the opposite of Finland), let's bring it on again

2009 Cyprus Rally will be a mixed surface event. A WRC first!

??? Somebody buy the writer some old rally magazines!

I wasn't aware that Rallyfans were celebrating the return of Cyprus. But I take my hat off to them for this bold move. And about time to - next we hope is the return of San Remo to it's rightful place. Let's hope the Manufacturers don't kick up a stink.

It's almost impossible to do, for what concern Sanremo. First of all, because actual safety mesures imposed by the FIA are too strictly to the Riviera tarmac roads. Sanremo organizers says that are happy with the IRC, and they DON'T want back the "actual" WRC. The gravel roads in Tuscany, used between '80 and '90 are now on tarmac ground (about 85-90 per cent).

What I hope, for what concern the rallies, is to have PERMANENTLY events like Acropolis, France, Finland, GB, Argentina... NOT Jordan, Poland, Indonesia and maybe Abu Dhabi!
