Indeed, we can only hope. Loeb winning the title is getting rather boring now.

I was thinking that too, like 2000 - 2004. Just so boring.

Well one of Loeb's advantages will be taken away, the new Pirelli tyres will be very simple, one tarmac, one gravel, one snow, one wet tarmac. Not hundreds like the BF's, and Loeb had a real skill at picking which tyres was best.

It might close things up...

Its more simple for the teams, and it reduces costs. A win-win situation... :)

I've posted the 2009 and 2010 calender a few pages ago. ;)

Good for Ireland, of course. But like we discussed before, bad for WRC without the traditional rallies.

This is an interesting read about the economic benefits to a country of hosting a round of the WRC ::)
