I hope Dirtfish and the other naysayers are proved wrong and N.Ireland can rescue Rally GB and British rallying from the abyss.
As those great N.Irishmen the Undertones once sang, "I need excitement and I need it bad - and it's the best I ever had."...

Along with the two factory Toyota Yaris WRC’s, Hyundai’s WRC2 drivers Ole Christian Veiby and Nikolay Gryazin will both also contest the Hermicuda Rally next weekend (October 24-25), as will Hyundai junior Greégoire Munster.

I don't have a problem with Norn Iron having a WRC round; in fact I'm sure they'll put on a great show - but it ain't Rally of GB.....
My problem is that Rally GB (and many other WRC events) have been run for the last 10+ years exclusively for the benefit of the WRC......when most of it's history is before/outside the WRC. In a perfect world, the event would take place whether in the WRC, or not.
Is there a better sound than that of Porsche engined Flat-6 ???

While it would be great to see NI get a round, it will be a loss to the WRC not have Wales and the challenge it presents. There are no other rallies like it in the championship.

Neste won't be the main sponsor of Finland's WRC event anymore, after 26 years of co-operation.Last edited by AnttiL; 15th October 2020 at 07:50.

Not much tal about Croatia, it is said that the contract will be for 10 years which is incredible to believe in these times. What is known is that the rally will be based around Zagreb, the capital, and it will be an asphalt event. I reccon that roads used will be the ones used for INA Delta rally, the most famous Croatian rally.
The roads are combination of Corsica, Alzace and Monte Carlo. Howeever, that can be adjusted in the recent months so I'm eager to find out about the itinerary and hoping for a bright future of the event.

Funny story; about 20-25 years ago, on 1st January, one of the UK daily newspapers had a calendar of sporting events for the coming year; this was when the WRC still had some mainstream exposure. Anyway the WRC calendar listed; Nestle Rally Finland - I assume the person proofreading thought Neste was a mistake, and added a 'l'.
