    So because of the political situation in Chile, they are pulling it out from the calendar for next season, a good decision imho, however despite everything that's going on in Turkey, they still host a WRC round.....shame they left Corsica & Spain in the cold for next year, they should have been saved as reserve events for cases such as this one, instead of having the rotation system which they already tried twice and failed both times. Guess it will take a while until we'll get our 14th round..
    Only you know your true potential.
    This year we rally #ForCraig

    It'd seems ridiculous to have a thirteen round calendar now after having to drop rallies due to there being too many! Is it really too late for Spain or Corsica to step back up?

    If i understand correctly the "Civil war" is because they are raising the prices for buses by 0.01€ and 0.04€ on the metro at peak hours. And people are protesting, burning things down and destroying metro stations, which won't make the prices lower in the end... Did i understand it correct...?

    didnt read your link?
    the average monthly cost per person for the city's public transport is equivalent to 13.8% of the minimum wage,
    the increased cost of living, privatisation and inequality prevalent in the country
    Protesters interviewed by Reuters said they were struggling to make ends meet because of the high costs of part-privatized education and health systems, rents and utilities, and a privatized pension system has been widely rejected by Chileans because of its low and often delayed payouts

    One thing is for sure if you burn and destroy then it ain't gonna be cheaper at the end. Government will collect more taxes to cover the costs

    Shame. I'd have thought Corsica would be a more likely candidate to pick up the baton anyway. FFSA always keen to keep it alive. The helping hand of Jean Todt... The organisers seem a bit fly-by-night at the best of times, so why not throw something together now! Here's hoping anyway.

    That's hilarious. Just a regular day in Nairobi Kenya, but that event is still on. I have friends and fam in Kenya who can't walk without being mugged. I've been to Chile and it's extremely safe in normal circumstances. Kenya is unsafe at ALL times..
