Well, after reviewing the 2008 season WRC schedule, it looks like next year will be a little more action packed. Basically, the rally series begins a couple weeks later in the year, and ends a couple weeks sooner. Essentially, about a month has been trimmed.

Also of note, rally Ireland, Norway, Portugal have been nixed, but replaced with Jordan and Turkey. I've seen a preview of what Turkey looks like, and it should be pretty interesting. No matter what, the usual suspects are all there. Germany will prove more difficult than people suspect, Japan will take out front runners, and Greece is always a challenge.

For reference, here's the schedule as posted at wrc.com.
