Ας ελπίσουμε τό 'Ακρόπολις' νά πάρει του χρόνου τή θέση πού τού αξίζει.
Απ'ότι ξέρω,δέν ψηφίζουν οι οδηγοί καί οι δημοσιογράφοι,αλλά δέν είμαι καί σίγουρος.
κάποιος νά μάς λύσει τήν απορεία;

Ψηφίζουν οι ομάδες, περιλαμβανομένων και των οδηγών τους. Φέτος ο αγώνας μας 'έπαιξε' ακόμα και για την 1η θέση

Αν χάνει σε κάτι το Ακρόπολις είναι η ξενοδοχειακή υποδομή. Σε όλα τα άλλα (πχ. οργάνωση, ασφάλεια, διαδρομή, Service Park (μαζί με του Μεξικού, το καλύτερο του WRC!), παροχές προς ΜΜΕ) κρίνεται κορυφαίο.

*For the third consecutive year, Neste Rally Finland has been voted as Rally of the Year by the WRC registered teams . . . but other rallies are fast catching up.

In this eleventh year of the teams making the award, the point scoring was far closer than in previous years, signalling the increased professionalism of all sixteen WRC rounds. The criteria used by the teams was as in previous years. It included: views of team drivers, service park and facilities, safety, itinerary, pre-rally information and communication, administrative efficiency, media facilities, quality of the stages, reconnaissance, hotel values, plus start and finish ceremonies.

How the teams voted – maximum score 100:

• Finland 84
• Mexico 79
• Greece 78
• Australia 76
• Argentina 68

The teams considered that Neste Rally Finland had refined and updated their winning formula to become ever more efficient. Added to this was the ability to maintain a competitive route whilst keeping high interest in the activities of the service park. Again, behind the scenes communications, safety and training levels were all praised along with the commercial drive of the event. Capping of hotel costs was also considered significant at a time when the Championship is trying to drive down costs.

For the first time an event new to the WRC rocketed towards the top of the scores as Corona Rally Mexico’s professionalism impressed. Charged with this being the first rally to run to the new flexi-service rules, whilst managing the rule changes governing reconnaissance, the organisation coped admirably. The characterful ceremonial start, use of an indoor air-conditioned service park in Leon, a compact and interesting route plus an organisation with great energy contributed to the high marks.

The long-standing and traditional Acropolis Rally was considered to have taken strides forward in 2004. The rally centre and facilities at Lamia, creative rally direction and all-round event efficiency were noted in Greece’s Olympic year, the high marks tempered only by questionable hotel prices.

In the points in the top league was also Telstra Rally Australia which ran ‘like clockwork’ and had so successfully married a traditional route with the requirements of the sporting rules.

Other top scoring events were Rally Argentina, Uddeholm Swedish Rally, Rally Catalunya – Costa Brava / Rally de Espana, Wales Rally GB and OMV ADAC Rallye Deutschland
