"The preparations for this year's Croatia Rally are in the final stages. Everything falls into place slowly. We have published Google Maps on our website, and soon we expect the release of the application with navigation to all special stages. Ticket sales are going well and I hereby invite everyone to buy them in advance, to avoid waiting in lines on the entrances to the special stages. Soon the teams will arrive in Croatia for pre event tests. The television broadcast from Croatia will visit millions of homes around the world this year also. I wish all drivers, their teams, and especially our Croatian crews good luck and a good performance", said Daniel Šaškin, President of the Organizing Committee of Croatia Rally.
