[WRC] Kennards Hire Rally Australia 2019

Just cancel. Just do it.

Agree to wise words here. NSW is not the place to hold a WRC rally atm.

There's no point in running such a short rally on sss anyway.

Well, it is something for those who shows up for the super specials anyway.
But this means... It's primarily a tarmac rally now?

Still half of the length are gravel forest stages and the super specials are mixed surface

If not a cancellation, maybe just run the SSS for the fans as a demonstration. Be a pity to do nothing after travelling all that way.

For fans... this is another part of the problem. As I understood (and sorry if I misunderstood) then road from Sydney is closed due to bush-fires, then how fans are going there? More fans, higher risk, more pressure for rescue service.

ERC Hungary affected by biblical rain yesterday... now WRC Australia by wildfires.... maybe it really is the climate-change end of days for rally !

Destination NSW is nearly complete tarmac.
Raleigh approx 50%

Sadly this is one of those horrible situations where whatever the organisation does will be wrong...
I guess my view is that if they can run that schedule safely without compromising any local requirements then that is the best of a bad set of options. Whether it should actually be a considered a WRC event however is another matter...

Just cancel the event, for both the safety of the crews and to attend the fires which are way more important at this point of time, as previously mentioned, they pretty much wrapped the championship back in Spain, I honestly don't know how can you run such an event when your country is literally on fire.
