Both the off-road & on-road worlds was held succesfully in 2002. That was after the off-road event was moved due to 9/11!!!! I was part of that Worlds and all the drivers that made the trip had a great time!!!!
Most of that drivers don't race anymore such as Francis, Pavidis, Drescher, Steenari, etc. I assume all the factory drivers thought if they don't go IFMAR would cancel the event. Looks like that is not going to happen!!!!!
There is a good chance that the 1/10th On-road Worlds will also be held in South Africa. Will we also have only 30 entries?
I have travelled to a few countries, lived in the States for 18 months!!!! But I am glad to be back in South Africa. South Africa has hosted a lot of sporting events over the last few months with no problems. We had the IPL Cricket, B & I Lions Tour, Confed Cup and we are going to host the Champions Trophy, the English Cricket team is coming to the end of the year!!!!
