An idea for the WRC...

bf1

What do ye think of this..
Instead of having the 16 rounds fixed (as in where they are) Why not have 'floating rounds' where they visit a country that hasnt had a WRC round before (here) and the next year they visit somewhere else and after 5 years the FIA and ISC decide of the 5 new events which one should be included for maybe another 5 years (at the expense of another event)
so..

15 fixed rounds
1 ' floating ' (per year)
x 5 years

After 5 yrs 1 fixed round is kicked out one of the floaters is included for a further 5

so

15 fixed rounds (1 of which is the chosen 'floater')
1 ' new floating ' (per year)
x 5 years

but then what ?? throw out 1 st floater hmmm

Well what does everyone think...

It's a nice idea but how many motorclubs in this country could afford the €143,000 fee for hosting?

Theres plenty available sponsors available even Lotto money........;)

i dunno. it's all controlled by cash, but it is a plausible idea nonetheless.

however

in 2006 Ireland will get a WRC stage, according to the FIA.

yeah thats a new one for me too! but if we do get it theres some great roads around the place especially da road that i live on!!! twisty winding tight roads!

the plan was made a few years ago after some of the guys who run/part-take in the rally of ireland invited some FIA people over here, so they approved (because ireland has naturally ****ty roads... perfect for rallying) and their plan is to hold a rally in-or-around the year 2006, but no sooner. i'll try and find the link to it
