And with some changes compared to this year, Norway is out, together with Portugal, Australia and Ireland. Turkey is back and Jordan will arrange a WRC-event for the first time.
From 2009 there will be 24 events over a period of two years. This means that some countries will be hosting a rally every year, and others every 2nd year. Norway is the opening rally on the proposal for 2009, where both Monte Carlo and Sweden are not. A decision regarding the 2009 calendar will be made by FIA Motorsport Council in December.

Sorry for Norway.
that rally whas a great event and the second snow event off a sesean.
But 2008 and 2009 will be a better rally calender maybe
For 2009, How many rallyes could be every year if there are 24 rallyes and 12 rallyes per year ?
Yeahhhhh!!!!
Argentina also in 2009!!!
12 rallyes in 2009 and 12 in 2010 makes 24 rallyes over a two year period.
So there is no countrie with a rally every year ?
Oh, i was looking forward Poland in 2008, but it’s 2009 only… rrrr
