Next year’s calendar is official, with 12 exciting events. Compared to earlier years, there are a few changes. With 15 events this year, the FIA dropped down to 12 events next year. In 2009 Ireland opens the season, before we head on to Norway. A big change from when Monte Carlo used to be the opening event and Sweden the next. Cyprus is back on the list, while Poland is a new-comer. Australia is back and Wales is still the final event, even if it is earlier than before.

    Does this list actually mean that Rally Monte Carlo won`t be arranged in 2009, or will it be arranged, but not as a WRC-event? And what about the Swedish Rally?

  4. tnt says:

    Vidar – both Monte Carlo and Sweden are out of the WRC for 2009, but they will be back in 2010. Dont know if they still will be arranged in 2009.

    And Moktar, sorry for the typing-error.
