FIA revealed today new WRC 2018 Calendar : 13 rounds include Turkey (NO Poland) & switch Espana ↔ GB → bit.ly/2wC6DBT

We will have 1,5 month without WRC event (10 june-26 july). Enough to put one more rally in Calendar (end of June!)

no, the teams need a break too.

no, the drivers need a break too.

The drivers have plenty of spare time.

Nice for the team members who do the real work to be able to have a nice Summer break.

well i had the same idea, i edited my post.

The 2018 calendar and the only interesting bit here: "There remains speculation of Italy's round moving back to the mainland and a northern Italian base."
Everything else as expected...no NZ, still Australia....and didn't they say a couple of years ago they wanted Japan back because of Toyota or something?

Hey, someone remind me, didn't a misplaced spectator actually die in Monte Carlo this year? Did they even get a 'yellow card' for that? No? But Poland loses its place in the calendar for bad spectator behavior?

"No!", you say, "it was because the organizers were stupid and allowed a fire truck to go onto a live stage!" Indeed, and they let a police car onto a live stage in rally Deutschland this year as well, though we heard nary a peep about that from our industrious rally journalists.

Corruption at its very best. I hate this sort of thing, I really do.

If you need any more proof that the only thing that matters for getting onto the calendar is money and political influence, just look at the debacle of letting China into the calendar last year, or the fact that we still have Australia (they've apparently got money to burn) and no New Zealand, even though everyone actually would prefer the latter.
