Just got back from a great event. Many Many Scoobs over in Ireland as you would expect.
Really upset this event is not on next years calendar. Superb!

What makes you say that?
I thought that the FIA were deciding on the rounds for a fixed number of years to come?
I'd have thought that since locally the event was a sucess from an organisational point of view and a dramatic rally point of view that its highly likely to be selected by the FIA.

End result is Politics.
Hopefully 2009 will include Rally Ireland.

A lot of fans got royally shafted by a local bus company providing Park & Ride service to several of the stages too - 20 Euros for a ride to the stage, only to be left queueing at both ends for hours (if, indeed, they got a ride at all), not issued with tickets, then dumped with a mile still to walk to the stage. There's disussion of both the P&R debacle as well as the pathetic RTE coverage at Rally Ireland 2007 Media Coverage - Rally Ireland Forum
Fortunately I went with a great group of friends so we really managed to keep each others' spirits up - but realistically most of the time I was cold, wet and, for various reasons, didn't get to see much. By all accounts I'll be better off going to Corsica next year instead.
