I haven't seen that Matt, thanks.

Good to see Australia back.

We could have a Polish or South African Rally? Very exciting, it's good that the WRC is moving further a field.

South Africa'll get the spot.

Although, WRC needs more Eastern rallys, all the Eastern European fans come to Trier, which is a long way from Prague...

I think we do, a Polish Rally would be good, and how about a Bulagrian Rally?

I think the WRC needs to enter new markets like F1, it would make things more interesting from a cultural point of view too.

No Portugeese rally (Just too similar to Spain and Corsica).

A Bulgarian rally'd be interesting, crap tarmac, but an Estonian rally'd be better, fine gravel, cold, lots of Estonian fans (For the likes of Aava).

Sounds good,

Estonia even had their own local hero, Marko Martin.

Dammit, I missed him. What's he doing now, after GB 2005 he dissapeared (Understandably).

An Estonian round'd have a great atmosphere, cheep booze.

After GB 2005, you have to feel sorry for the guy.

Marko did do a one-off Irish Rally in a Mitsubishi, he won the rally. After than, I haven't heard anything.

Yep, you really can't.

A shame though, he was a great rally driver, who notched up a few WRC wins.

Yeah.

I've found that there's no driver I really support, before it was Alonso (Since Minardi) and Solberg, but now I don't really have a fave driver in any sport.

Nick I guess, and Stohl.
