I have maintained that it will be difficult enough for NZ to hold on to a round of the Asia Pacific Rally championship and that is where efforts should be continued.
Australia has a fairly mature/ older rally fleet too. An old Mitsubishi won their last national round compared to the new Mazda that won the last national round in NZ.
I would have preferred to have seen a World Rally go back to Cyprus or Japan.

The Aussie fleet is very old. We won outright last weekend in an EVO 3 by nearly 3 minutes in a State event. All the newer cars are in Tarmac rallying.

This year stages are improved and more stages added at North close to Mugla.
Last years narrow slow stages improved to faster style and real challange for drivers.

If I choose (but I'm not), my choice would be:
1. Monte-Carlo
2. Sweden
3. Mexico
4. Tour De Corse
5. Argentina
6. San Remo
7. Kenya
8. Finland
9. Germany
10. Turkey
11. Croatia (it's because I'm near)
12. Wales
13. New Zealand
Maybe some other rallies not the same over & over again. It changes every 5 years only one event.

Having Australia as the final event on the calendar is a bad idea as this year shows. Titles are already decided and subsequent lack of entries make this event rather a damp squib.

For 2019 it's only confirmed about Croatia and strong rumours about Kenya joining. But Like I said teams complaining about expenses I don't think that more than 13 events will ever happened (if they include teams will surely leave). And surely Monte-Carlo, Sweden, Tour De Corse, Portugal, Finland, Germany, Wales, Spain will be forever on the calendar. Rally in Italy will probably move into continent (but will remain on the calendar forever). Mexico have long year contract, I think that Australia too.
Then the only not confirmed for a long term is Argentina (they've had safety issues like Poland) and now Turkey (if this rally will be good they will remain on calendar, because of manufacturers interests).
So I think that Croatia and Kenya are not confirmed either... 2019 is still long away and everything could change in time.
My opinon is that they need to mix the cards and throw half the events from calendar and bring new ones into the game so the cmhampionship would be even unpredictable and even more exciting. Sure most of the guys here will not agree with me but having same over the 30 years have no point revealing calendars and expect that could change anything from year to year.
