Which rally should they add to the WRC-calendar?

are brazil and china still candidate rallies for next year?

[PLuto]

It is not important. You dont need to be candidate event to be next year in WRC. Everything is only about money and politics.

As far as I am aware, the FIA were only looking to add one rally to the calendar, which they now have.

I don't know what rally they should add, but I know which one would love to see changed or gone. Germany.
That's the most boring rally ever. They have to move it somewhere else, or remove it from WRC calendar.

No chance of Germany being removed; the most important car market in Europe.

Acropolis, Corsica both in the ERC, but should be in any WRC season, as should Sanremo & NZ.

But this is old news......

[Eli]

Yes and they really should bring back Safari.

why does France have essentially 2 rounds? All of Monte Carlo's stages are in France, and the start is in Valence. I understand Corsica had great historical value for the WRC but Alsace I'm not a fan of.

That's why I propose two merged rallyes; Corsica-Sardinia and Alsace-Trier.

Swap the Coffs harbor event with Auckland. Having been to both over consecutive years I can honestly say I enjoyed the NZ roads much more as a spectator and I also found that Auckland offered a better rally HQ than Coffs Harbor, which is quite a small town by comparison. But then, I would write this as I am a Kiwi.

Failing that, I do not see why we cannot have a round in the Middle East (Qatar or Abu Dhabi etc)? They have spent a lot of money on rally as it is.

On the current calendar system: If the WRC organizers and teams would agree to have more rounds per season I think it would reduce the need to rotate events and hopefully provide more stability.

As an Australian, I agree with Plan9. NZ is a much better rally than Coffs Harbour. It is also a rally international drivers love, the roads and cambers are amazing.

I do however think Japan and a Middle East rally should return.

The Middle East because of the money they spend in WRC, and those Jordan rallies really excite me. And Japan in the hope of getting their manufacturers back, and I love their rally roads.

By looking at the map, it might seem a good idea. But when you look closer it seems far fetched because the stages are just too far apart from either of the HQs.

Corsica and Sardinia at first are completely different rallies. Also from a logistical point of view it's a nightmare - transportation of service park, cars and all the fans needing loads of ferry crossings.
