Changes To The WRC from 2007 onwards

The FIA World Motorsport Council have meet today and I have just re-read the press release and I have found this:-

Quote:

The 2007 season will be made up of eight or nine rallies run from January to May. The World Champion for each of the titles will be known at the end of that period. The 2008 season will be run over two calendar years, beginning in August 2007 and ending in May 2008.

So in other words the WRC is going to become a winter championship to keep out of the way of F1?

I guess with the increased number of F1 events it's getting harder to make sure that the WRC and F1 don't clash, running over the winter allows that problem to be avoided to some extent.
