yup i agree with saintambrose.. if m'sia do promote this WRC as well as F1, who knows one day we all have a chance to see those great rallying drivers smash down their driving + speeding skills all the way m'sia estate.. ;)

Yep! The key word here is "IF", "WHO KNOWS" and "ONE DAY"! :)

hmmm

last time we bid for wrc but we lost to indons.......anyways australia wrc had to penetrate $3million aussies .....so for us we need double the amount to make it happen

Yeah I hope they come to Malaysia cos it will give us open window to the world.
So Far Formula 1 & JapanGt is doing great for Malaysia as it brings in revenue and tourist. Now we need WRC to further promote Malaysia as motorsport paradise.
We already have the estates for the SS and I dont see why not. No need to build
big stadium and track. Just use the existing oil palm and rubber estate which we have plenty of. This is a good opportunity for Malaysia and if we let it slip then
we are at the losing end. I hope the govt see the big picture.:shades_smile:

hey, i hate politicians as much as you do.... but, looking in totality, i don't think its that far fetched. F1, Moto GP, Super GT, D1 and other international events are all reality now. Even dumb ass politicians know all this equates to big money coming into the country. So, stay positive....

if we still under Mahathir i guess it possible where Mahathir like to promote Malaysia into the world. but not now under Badawi.. i think WRC in Malaysia is imposible because there are still plenty of stage around the world for WRC.

Actually not to worry. The current administration with the drive towards an 'agricultured' society is actually promoting rallying. Just imagine, in a few years the whole country will be one big special stage. I have heeded the call and started growing vegetables on my front lawn. We can have a 0.00003km stage there after which we can drink milk primed from the goats and cows in my backyard. I see a great future for Malaysia and rallying in particular.

If noy remember wrongly, our rally history used to have bad record in the past. couple of years ago, there were some big mistake made in the Asia-pacific rally which fustrated FIA...i cant remembr what is about....i think just some organiser related fellow did some funky jokes which caused danger in the rally..

anyone still remember the incident?

yeah, it was either 98 or 99. Our musang tempatan(AAM) had acollision with the rally car. The 4x4 car lost its way and was looking a way out of the stage. Everthing went wrong on that day.. It was an re-evaluation and we failed. We lost APRC due to safety aspects and also Petronas pulled out of the rally scene because of F1..

ROM (Rally Of Malaysia) wasnt the same since then..
