Actually it has. The lack of FIA’s effective support to local ASN’s and even to the FIA regional series has been one of the reasons why worldwide rally expansion is stuck in reverse.
Btw, I’m amazed with your exclusive ‘champions club’ view on WRC calendar. So just because there’s a WRC crowned compatriot, some lucky organizers would be granted for life, without any need to improve their events...that looks like a recipe to ruin the series.
Btw, should Belgium get a spot in the calendar if Neuville manages to be champ?
They could organise a WRC Rally without a problem. There could be stages in France too. Organisation is not the problem, money probably is. Otherwise there would have been a WRC in Ypres already (giving that the organizers of Ypres Rally are at the top of Hyundai WRT)
FIA alone can't build strong interest in rallying. Promoting WRC outside of Europe is pointless.
Tell me one champion that comes from country without strong rally presence?Quote:

Having this rule in place will stimulate other countries to invest in rallying more than anything else. Instead of praying FIA to accep them, it's all in their hands.
