What happened to "I'm not going to any more events after this year"?

I have added the 2010 calendar and the surfaces. PLease note there are 3 tarmac events in 2009, whereas there are 4 in 2010.

Still think we need 14 events per year instead of 12!

[J4MIE]

What happened to "I'm not going to any more events after this year"?

I never said WRC events ;) Anywhere except Wales is open for me :up:

(but I think Norway, Cyprus and Finland)

Thanks everyone :)

[Langdale Forest]

It is good to have some new events along with the old, but 2 new events in a row in 2010 will be intresting.

[Torsen]

i want to see 2 snow rallys! but i'm a loner in that area

No you are not alone, if I had my way WRC would be 12 gravel plus 2 snow rallies each year.

[Camelopard]

The above dates seem to be sundays for 2009, Poland is given as Jun 28th which is a sunday, so I'm presuming that it starts on friday 26th. is this correct?
I need to know now so I can put in my rec leave request before any of my work mates get in first!

[jonkka]

No you are not alone, if I had my way WRC would be 12 gravel plus 2 snow rallies each year.

And no tarmac at all? Ou nou...

[jure dvorsek]

12 events for WRC ??!! Less than nothing...This is like a bit stronger national championship.
It should be 15 events and one third of them on tarmac-my opinion !! Because some gravel events are a bit boring to me (like Cyprus and Jordan).
Second reason for more tarmac: Mikko, Jari, P.Solberg, Atko..they are all gravel experts-on tarmac they must learn still a lot and this would be the best opurtunity for them, to find some extra speed and be a desent rival for Loeb and Sordo.....

[52Paddy]

12 rounds is a bit short, and next year it will be strange losing the Monte. Still though, over the next two years, there will be a handful of new rallies to contend with, hopefully for better rather than worse. I doubt funds will allow me to go abroad for a rally next year, hopefully I'll get to my home event anyway.

[Barreis]
