Michelle would be there to check safety.
I reckon that's a long way from being visited by WRC Promoter to sign a contract to be in the WRC....
Do they have the money to be in WRC?
Same with Acropolis. Have they paid their debts from the last WRC event there? Didn't the ASN go bankrupt owing money to WRC Promoter and FIA?

IMHO Rally Cyprus was from sport point of view total disaster. See: https://youtu.be/OI0G5iqgLKk ...If Rally Croatia canīt offer anything special but could be average (boring) round of WRC, Rally Cyprus would be much worse.

Having been at Rally Cyprus this year I also have no clue why it should have been a disaster?
Quite the contrary during the rally I was thinking that this would have been a great WRC event as it was in the past. It's demanding, its special.

Am I really the only one who thinks such surface is not acceptable for ERC rally round but suitable max. for some local Baja race? Even if it was only this very short part it is still something bad.

I'm still here ;-) I presume you mean Rally Japan. Rally Hokkaido is the APRC round, still held in the same area as the first few Rally Japan rounds were. I have heard several stories about Rally Japan's return, most connected with Toyota's WRC progress and how they would like it based closer to Toyota City.

Isn't the whole point of WRC to demonstrate that your car can drive off road? I don't see why one surface is worse than another? If anything the variety is good. I'd love to see a rough, attritional event return like Cyprus or the Acropolis.
To hear people call Portugal a rough gravel rally is a bit of joke to be honest.RS Motorsport Media - Follow me on Instagram: rsmotorsportmedia

I was the one who used that word...maybe technical would be better term than rough, but certainly those events are similar in style compared to faster rallies like NZ, Finland and Poland. You have to excuse me, I was totally off following WRC for 15 years before this season, Mexico feels like a totally new event to me

after that YouTube channel with tons of old rallying videos was 'stopped', now its time for one rallycross YouTube channel to have the same end. https://youtube.com/@rallygreat2660?feature=shared...
