Like L.B. Hartley's famous line, "The past is another country, they do things differently there." It could not be more apt than for describing a rapidly developing China. That is because you can not compare China from 1999 to the China of today. Even though some of the exact same roads will be used, the conditions and nature will be entirely different.
That is typical public relations spin and hype, a viewer is counted by they number of times they watch the media, tickets over several days or view a web page. So one person is actually counted multiple times if they bought tickets to an event, checked out the website whilst there for results, refreshing the page many times and then watched the replayed highlights later on TV, another person might be counted once as they read a newspaper or on regular tv sports news.Last edited by Livewireshock; 8th June 2016 at 04:28.

Some advice for anyone trying to look at Google maps and then comparing between the map and satellite views, it will not work effectively. It is all to do with the datum that the Chinese government uses for their mapping and how it is offset from what Google uses, so it will never be properly aligned with the regular http://maps.google.com and so you should use http://www.google.cn/maps so they maps and satellite pictures will align correctly using the Chinese datum. Searches still work in English on this site.

Citroen were big pushers for having China in the WRC so it is not surprising to see them compete on this fly-away rally.
Locally there will be two Chinese Citroen teams too, one with two R5 DS3 with Manfred Stohl as their lead driver together with team principal Wang Hua in the second car. The other is a R3 DS3 team with Australian Eli Evans driving the lead car for that team. As one of the few FIA homologated teams from China, I would expect to see them located very closely together in the WRC Service Park and not in the national CRC Service Park.Last edited by Livewireshock; 15th July 2016 at 04:28.

For anybody intending to compete, volunteer or spectate at WRC Rally China Beijing, the organisers have requested that all visitors install the WeChat application on your mobile devices. This is a local equivalent of Facebook (which we all know is blocked in China). They have set up a local group account for foreigners to be updated on the latest information and advice. It will begin with the upcoming APRC China Rally Zhangye in August and will continue for the WRC and beyond.
Once you have installed the app, you can scan the QR code I have added down below with the app and your device's camera. This will allow you to join the China Rally 2016 Foreigners Group.
Android version is here : https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...com.tencent.mm
Apple iOS : https://itunes.apple.com/au/app/wechat/id414478124?mt=8

Event guide has been published. Nothing special, just info for organisers, villages, importing cars, ports, airports, location of HQ etc.

Those of "questionable knowledge" will be the scientists. You might think that rocket science is hard but: Rocket Scientist: Someone who understands Newton's Laws of motion and basic chemistry....
