    Rally Jordan

    Oil Money + Government full support.


    I suppose this will be the most competitor friendly and possibly most amazing rally on the calender. Hope theirs some stages through epic deserts give us a taste of safari back.

    Govt support is great if it is to go through although going to play in the sand to try and recreate the Safari this is boring in my opinion. I loved the Safari as it had a character all of it's own. However rallying in Jordan doesn't really make me think rally, more I imagine Baja VW beetles with nitro shocks and Chevy off-road trucks...

    Haven't seen much of conditions and so on yet however as always, give everything a try once, who knows, if it really doesn't turn out they don't have to go back...

    What's in it? I've read that teams are not pleased about going to Jordan but is there something more in this?
    There are two rules for success
    1. Never tell everything you know.

    There is something from Citroen boss that as the French foreign affairs section / intelligence reporting agencies etc have raised the status of the threat level for visitors to Jordan. OK nowhere as serious as the situation in Mauritania for Dakar, but Quensil said that if anyone from Citroen team felt that they did not want to risk their lives by going to Jordan, as a company they would have to respect that decision. I also new a few Brits who some years ago when Rally Jordan was first talked about said that they wouldn't be relaxed about going.

    There is written, that teams and people around WRC are talking about cancelling due to safety reasons. But true is, that most of teams dont want to go there...
