NZ could host 2020 WRC round at Australia’s expense

https://rallysportmag.com/nz-could-h...alias-expense/

i really hope this comes true.

but im afraid Rally Australia will once again knock Cielsa unconscius with its money.

How many times do the WRC manus have to whine about low attendance and shit spectating turnouts before they move to NZ...

Maybe AUS staff is giving Ciesla a reach-around to keep this shit-show alive?

After Loeb in Alsace, it looks like Neuville will be in Ypres with the i20 WRC. The organizers created a special category, "Ypres Rally Masters", covering roughly half of the event. https://mailchi.mp/ypresrally/ypres-...aTKq9IRZP4mGHs

More WRC cars outside the WRC would be a good thing. Ieper's an interesting event though I admit it's like driving rural roads in northern Indiana.

Don't like it. And it's just a way to get Neuville at the start. He isn't interested to drive with the R5 car anymore because it can't compete against Skoda and Volkswagen.

Did I get it right that some do actually think that latest spec WRCs in national rallies, even when driven by WRC stars, is not good?

Well, yes, I actually think it´s a bad thing. World Rally Cars should take part in WRC rounds, not in national events.

Even if it's just for show and a way to attract more spectators? What does it take away from anyone?

'Rally Safe' version 4 has been released (as on their FB page)

Should let the WRC cars do the national rallies, just no points. Also the driver to be 'qualified' so no wealthy low/no skilled drivers turn up in a wrc car for ego purposes.

Should the FIA try and aim for better performance parity between the R5 cars. The current situation is almost about which team can keep buying the newest R5 to win with.

Why can't Spain be the final round of the WRC (is Southern Spain a better location for a November round?)

don't forget he's driving a real full factory supported car with unlimited budget and testing, against some privateers with far lesser means.
