A trouble that in Açores or Cyprus cases are worth it and can be mitigated with a sensible choice of dates; Açores as 1st event was a good move but Cyprus should continue to be the last one, IMO.

All island events are big troubles for everyone, especially because of time. For example, I know about three crews with R5 which will not start in Azores (and maybe also in other rounds of ERC) because of movement from beginning of March to the end of March.
It can (and it will) also bring problems to the teams which are renting cars in more championships (not only ERC x WRC, but also ERC x national championships).

As a foreigner who is watching from the other side of the world, I would argue Ypres and Barum are the most iconic ERC events. But that's purely looking in from outside of the continent as a spectator. So it's a shame Ypres is moving, but hopefully the challenge will be good for ERC and push them to do more to promote their event/make it more economically viable.

Rally crews that managed to enter Açores Rally are the first ones saying marvels about the event. It’s hard not to get amazed by the island beauty, the fantastic roads and the friendly people, a bit like NZ, I guess.

Azores are really beautiful and the rally is great. I also like the surface. But it costs a lot of money. I agree to have Azores in ERC calendar, but if you do it so, you must throw away both Cyprus and Canarian isles and replace them with something on the mainland. (for example Principe Asturias rally back in IRC era was fine(just example) But it needs people from Eurosport to change their mind and stop that gold mining.
Visit South Moravia. It is the real paradise

To have ideal calendar, there must be maximum one rally so far away on island...
