1 November Rally Great Britain

So Wales is out? Didn't notice any further explanation where in GB the rally will take place but seems to be a gravel round

Germany marks the first pure asphalt round ahead of the final dirt road fixture in Great Britain...

Yeah - looks like Rally GB will be in Wales again.

I'm more surprised that there are so few tarmac rounds, given the additional development costs for the tarmac specifications, especially when everyone wants this whole thing to be as cost efficient as possible.

Edit: Cracking to see NZ back. Will they run the Motu? I remember that being mythical in status - proper stage.

Nice to see NZ in there. Germany in October? Better than nothing but certain to be a change in attire, especially compared to this year!

[EstWRC]

if they only would have Spain instead of Turkey, and Corsica instead of Kenya, and swap GB and Japan with GB being the last round and Japan penultimate, it would be amazing.

Other than that, i like it. Germany in October should hell of a fun!

Woohoo :

Might have to plan a road trip up north!

To me, it looks like GErmany is at the expense of Spain...

Hence why Germany has had to slot in at the October slot where Spain would normally be.

Turkey has kept close to it's normal slot.

Spain rotated this year and have signed up for 2020 and 2021

Your only question should be: drive or fly?

Hopefully Canada can get it together for 2021.

NZ = I expect the WRC cars to get caught in traffic gridlock if they go anywhere near Auckland. Probably about half million population increase since the last WRC event in 2012. Cars would have to leave like 4am from an Auckland Parc ferme to beat the morning traffic crawl.

Probably need a Dakar type marathon stage for NZ now where the competitors stay at a marae (Maori accommodation) or Air BNB in the regions, to reduce the chances of getting caught in a traffic snarl up.

I'm happy to see a rally back on the African continent again. The great tradition of the Safari will be revived even if it's not as rough and long.

NZ really deserves to be back too with its stunning roads that the fans and driver's love.

Japan... well I guess with Toyota being back it was inevitable.
