    For the population they have a lot of events, particularly in Quebec and Ontario. As long as they get access to good roads it'd be worth a try. Time of year would be a big factor since it would be a great chance for another snow rally, and the bugs in the summer up there are awful.

    The decision makers in rallying are detached from reality; Endurance & Night stages seem to go against their view of the sport.

    Some candidate roads for a Canadian WRC round. Bancroft, Ontario is about 2 hours drive west of Ottawa. Probably need to find similar roads closer to a larger populated area.

    From the Bancroft wiki entry " A village until 1999, Bancroft then merged with Dungannon Township to form the Town of Bancroft."

    (Karel Carre won 2018 Perce Neige 2018 about 1' 30" in front of Crazy Leo)

    Maybe alternate Canada/ Mexico different years.

    Maybe run Catalunya as full tarmac event -

    Tall Pines roads seem pretty straight to me. This is from 2013, but it seemed similar to another later video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=in-3XCTayr4
    Never stop dreaming because one day it might happen.

    Could be fun with an actual WRC in the snow without studs!

    Politics - To misquote The League of Gentlemen, WRGB is a Welsh financed rally for Welsh locations , is Oulton Park in Wales? (listen sonny Jim....)

    Cholmondeley Castle is in Cheshire which probably opened the door slightly for ideas like Oulton. But it does increasingly sound like they'll keep it in the forests this year.

    For "Shakeup" read pretty much the same stages as the last 4 years with clocaenog now 1 slightly longer stage. Sweet Lamb run in reverse. No night stages - how very boring.

    True that - but less than 10 miles from the border, so probably ‘disputed territory’ by the Taffia��
