    No Mexico (major Fiesta market), Germany and Italy (tarmac rallies) - terrible decision. They should have left New Zeland out instead.

    SWRC needs to do 7 of 8
    PWRC needs to do 6 of 8 with 1 long haul minimum
    Passion will make you crazy, but is there a other way to live ? :burnout:

    New Zealand in the middle of Winter, would be much better in April.

    NZ is better in the winter, as was Rally Oz.
    Rule 1 of the forum, always accuse anyone who disagrees with you of bias.I would say that though.

    Daniel,

    Just wondering whether you have competed in either of these events in Winter. If you have then maybe you can make a comment. You seem to be a very good armchair expert who has never competed at the top level or any level for that matter.

    Rallying isn't all about you Ray. Frankly I think Rally NZ was superb when I spectated on it in winter and have always felt it was better when wet.

    You seem to have the answer a lot Daniel. It may have suited you to traipse around in mud, but I think Autumn is a perfect time in NZ, mid April seems to be a good temp on the North Island and not too wet.

    If Rally Oz was still in WA then Winter would be fine, but being in NSW now I think September works well or if there was a change in the Calendar April May would be ok as well. Then again it also depends on the roads that are chosen for the events and what spectator points are available.

    You seem to have this thing about your answer being more relevant because you've competed. Some of us haven't had the chance or simply aren't all that bothered. Doesn't mean our answers are any less valid.

    I'm happy to see Monte back in the calender. I rather see GB later in the year but I think it's a good calender.
    Waiting for Subaru to come back to be :champion:

    How many rallies have you competed in koko? You might fail the raybak test if you've not competed in as many as him......
