    Heck - is it really possible? I wonder if the FIA have a plan B to keep the series running in some capacity, or at least the balls to treat whatever happens as a fresh start - i.e. changing the regs before the inevitable happens.
    He might be right, but I seriously doubt there will be no championship at all. Will it be affected by COVID, of course, especially early season, but as the year goes on I’m sure restrictions will ease again.

    Haven't PH Sport had a C3 WRC for years which nobody has used in the WRC? I shan't hold my breath...

    It remains a mystery whether they ever had the car or not. Perhaps they were first looking for people renting the car before acquiring it from Citroen Racing, but in the end decided not to?

    Potential to run at least 3 international standard events in NZ and another 2 or 3 in Australia. Travel from NZ to parts of Australia (one-way) is already possible with no quarantine period required.

    Pretty simple to run four excellent events in NZ. The present WRC event and the Whangarei APRC event in the north island and then the South Island for the Otago APRC rally and then combine the South Canterbury and the Autosport rallies for the fourth event

    Yeah, let's do four events in NZ, we can have the remaining ten in Finland, we also have a good COVID-situation

    Seriously though, one of the biggest disappointments of the WRC 2020 season for me (in addition to skipping 70th anniversary event of Rally Finland) was not going to NZ

    Although I think it is a little bit utopic...I will share information that comes from the facebook of a journalist from Gran Canaria:


    "The gossips tell and say that the Monza Rally may be suspended and that several team leaders of the World Rally Championship have been in direct contact with Germán Morales, organizer of the Rally Islas Canarias

    It seems that Germán Morales, president of the organizing committee of the Rally Islas Canarias, has supposedly been called by Hyundai Motorsport team leader Andrea Adamo, and M-Sport team manager Malcom Wilson to be interested in coming to compete in Gran Canaria and that in the He will do so in the next few hours if not the Toyota Gazoo Racing team boss Tommi Makkinen has already done so to come to Gran Canaria.

    We are still waiting for official confirmation. And up to here we can write and share information."
