I'm now convinced that Jari Matti is the unluckiest person alive.
Mechanical failure in Sweden, free rally is rally ITALY of all places.

I wonder if the rally Argentina would go ahead on normal date if things don’t get worse And improve ? 34 cases at the moment there, Still over a month left until rally.

I definitely wouldn't count on it. Regardless of the situation there, many drivers and teams would be unable to travel due to restrictions in travel, and mandatory quarantine and so on.

The problem is the incubation period in which the people who are already infected aren't found by the system. The number of confirmed cases shows therefore only data from roughly two weeks old state and only a part of the real number (many non-symptomic cases are not found at all). The statistics show that in most of the countries without very hard preventive measures the spread follows similar trend. In Italy it took roughly two weeks to get from five known infected cases to a disaster.
When it was still in China people in Europe saw it just like some kind of a movie. Nobody really cared until Italy started to collapse. Don't take me wrong I'm quite certain that such outbreak could happen in nearly any other European country as well but without this eye-opener nobody would start to take it seriously in Europe. I guess it's same in South America. Without a direct experience it's very difficult to make the people take it seriously.Last edited by Mirek; 14th March 2020 at 14:29.

The event was officially cancelled. As nobody knows how the situation will be in a couple of days or months, it's difficult to say when the event could be done.
The Rally of Argentina had money losses last two years, but organizers went ahead anyway waiting for better times. With the local economy near a debt default the future looks very unpromising unless a debt deal could be done in the next month.
Then, we have the climatologic side, the river's crosses will be low enought to let the cars pass by? I don't know exactly but at spring I think they will be higher.
A lot of unknowns.
