According to several sources this seems true so here it is
Interesting notes from the World Council
The World Council decisions included the decision to switch rallying from its current all-year calendar to a new format in 2007. The 2006 season will be the same as is currently the case but after that there will be a short 2007 season, which will include just eight or nine events shoe-horned between January and May and then after that the World Championship will be run over two calendar years, presumably to move rallying to the winter months and thus avoid clashes with the summer activities. The 2007-2008 World Championship will start in August 2007 and will finish in May 2008.
The other point of note is that if all goes to plan there will be an FIA GT event on the streets of Bucarest in Romania on April 23 next year.

Wow, pretty big change. Not sure if It's a smart move, the sceptacle will be taken away.
People may even get bored over the two years.

to be honesy though its not over two years, its from august to may to its less than a year and about what it is now but it should make events such as sweeden and other that should be dry tarmac now on ice :D

care to list some suggestions ?
It's up to the manufacturers to build them and nobody is going to build one unless they think they can win, so they're all kind of "kick ass" and manufacturers who dont enter probably know they're incapable of making a "kick ass car" :D

They already have a lot of 'em

I'd rather see the old 406 back than that butt ugly Peugeot. Skoda thinks they have a chance and produced a nice looking sedan vs the old crappy one they used to have. My biggest ex. look back to when they had Lancias and the Audis all of those were great cars (can't remember others) . Like ALMS it's really lackluster IMO. Yeah sure they are great cars but they don't have any where close the personality the cars of the past.

I think the real reason is because it clashes with the F1, which just isn't as good.
