Boycott in Italy?
Guys, do you know anything about the situation in Italian Rally championship? Apparently top Italian teams (including official ones) are going to boycott the first two events in 2009 as a protest against too many rounds in the calendar and thus increasing costs. Is that true?

Yes it's true. Official teams asked for an 8 rounds championship (4 gravel, 4 tarmac) but the 2009 CIR calendar includes 10 events (4 gravel, 6 tarmac).
From 2009 wont be compulsory registration to take points in CIR, only rule is to enter last 2 events of the season (they are on tarmac). So if official teams wants to cut 2 tarmac races only solution is don't take part to first 2 rallies: Ciocco and Mille Miglia.
I hope the teams will change their decision and italian federation will do something in their favour.

Thanks for the details Stezi. I see that not only Polish motorsport association is run by a bunch of narrow-minded morons

After a meeting between factory teams and organizers of CIR09 held yesterday...seems there will be the boicott finally
I am from Gran Canaria. I am absolutely convinced that there will be no problem with the rally.
