Selfishly I was delighted by this, where I work we have allocated block annual leave and limitations on floating days... Getting half term off for Rally GB this year has been a right faff, and in the end, a rather expensive experience!
As for the calender, surely we have to presume that Turkey are only on it because they're bringing big money to the promoter. I've seen it said that we should be accepting of the likes of Turkey and Croatia because the funds they bring to the promoter will be reinvested into the sport... Well, we better see some meaningful enhancement of the WRC 'product' next year, because right now I want to argue that a 2018 inclusion of Rally New Zealand on the calender should have been at least partially funded by the money coming from Turkey! I hope someone will be able to discern where the Turkey money has gone...

No round in Eastern Europe makes pretty sense...
Let's ignore a region where rallies are still quite popular (IMHO), and see if it helps the sport. If that was really the reason I would at least say that they are trying another approach...

I don't.
Why two events down under?
Because of Paddon?
FIA has no obligation to stimulate rallying.
It should be the other way around.
Only countries that have world rally champion should be admitet to WRC Calendar, plus one from each continent.
Here is the list:
England
Finland
France
Germany
Italy
Norway
Scotland
Spain
Sweden
North America
South America
Africa
Asia
Australia
