The FIA has approved a date change request by the organisers, and will now run on Thursday 4th December and Sunday 7th December.

This is because there is a rugby match the previous (scheduled) weekend and would have meant the Millennium stadium would have been unavailable.

oh no, can't run a rally without a stadium... :)
I don't mind the later date.

I think the main reason wasn't particularly the super special, but the stadium is used as RallyHQ for the event and a lot of the offices are used etc, which wouldn't have been able to be used.

The real reason is it clashed with the Galloway Hills and Grizedale Rallies,thus no specys to rip off cause they will all be watching these to exellent rallies for free
