That ending in Rally Australia is a joke. Typical Australian lobbying and positioning and selling "a gala dinner at the end in Sydney". Personally I think that is pretty arrogant, who cares about the dinner? The rally lacks personality, history, spectators, entries, interest fullstop. They manufacture stupid jumps on the stages for the 5 spectators who are there - it isn't a world rally event it is marketing and promotion.

This article from maxrally sums up the Australian approach:

I hope the World Champions are known in all categories before the event and it is a flop with nobody there. It would serve their arrogance right.
