[WRC] News & Rumours 2020

[EstWRC]

finally something good to hear.

im sure bluuford has monitored the numbers more closely, im no specialist but ive also been following the last weeks, especially Italy, and the numbers have gone down thankfully now...two weeks ago the new case numbers were 5000-6000, last week around 4000 and now two days in a row its been 3000 something (3039 yesterday). Switzerland and Austria have also come down massively compared to some weeks ago.

im not sure if there will be any rallies before Finland, but im pretty confident Finland will go ahead. Theres still 4 months left until that.

We will see. The situation is not that bad in here as in other South European Countries (350 deaths and 13000 infected as of today), however, Rally Portugal was postponed from the May date to hopefully some date in late September or early October.

Who claimed Portugal would run in May? It's postponed. We were speculating if it would run in July.

didnt remember that it was postponed.
imho it would be more safe to be organized at September.
from what i read,borders are the last they will opened,from this gradually opening at each country.
Lets hope also they will not rush this opening,and everything will go well.

I think it would be too hot and too great a fire risk for either Portugal or Italy to run before late September. They perhaps need to wait to hope that NZ is cancelled early and try to rearrange to some slots after Finland. If Finland runs....

[EstWRC]

no, no cancellation for NZ please

ill take rather only NZ than Portugal and Sardegna together

During Rally Mexico (one month ago) I said that I'm positively surprised if there's any WRC rallies run this year, and I still think the same. Of course I hope it will get better, but right now it doesn't look good.

I need Rally Finland. Would rather have it than any other sports event this year.
