ISC releases proposed 2010 WRC calendar
Autosport.com reports that rallies in Monte Carlo, Indonesia and Russia are out, opening the door for the return of Rally Great Britain, which had originally been dropped due to the sport’s event rotation policy. Also in is Rally Bulgaria, pending its successful run this year. If the Bulgarian event does not come up to scratch, Rally Argentina will step in as the reserve.
The calendar must be approved by the FIA at next month’s World Motor Sport Council meeting in Paris. Autosport.com reports that there are likely to be objections to factors such as the loss of the Acropolis Rally or any event in Italy, but that FIA sources have said the body is unlikely to refuse approval of the calendar.
Proposed 2010 calendar:
Swedish Rally
Rally Mexico
Rally of Portugal
Rally Jordan
Rally Turkey
Rally New Zealand
Rally Bulgaria
Rally Finland
Rally Deutschland
Rally Japan
Tour de Corse
Rally Catalunya

Reserve: Rally Argentina
