Even when we don´t blame organizers the only one solution is to drop out Liepaja for next year. Global warming is fact , you can´t dispute it and having every second year of Rally Liepaja canceled doesn´t make any sense. It is like VHS videoshop business. It was nice, but it is past and those times won´t come back and simply nobody is responsible for that.
No one is blaming ERC or Eurosport. But in ERC´s condition something like this is not very good too.
We are used to here in Latvia to quick weather changes. But this one was like a "blitzkrieg" - all snow was destroyed by plus temperature and rain within 3 days...
Rally Liepaja is some sort of gamble with those winter conditions we experience in last 15 years, but still it's well organized and prepared. Sometimes there are some things you can't control.
And yes, it's official now - rally is cancelled. There are plans for rescheduling it to some further dates, organizers will announce it as soon as possible.
Past is past. I expect these weather conditions repeating every 2 or 3 years from now on. (and I am not even pessimist) It is just not passable for future because of the surface. And I am not talking only about ERC but LRC aswell.
