About rotating system, I think it would work if there's a very high level regional championship. E.g. some events in Europe would rotate between the WRC and ERC. But that would mean that the ERC has a very fierce competition going on nearly every round.
I feel if the WRC becomes to European it would be like having 2 ERC's. I am also not sure if the FIA would allow the WRC to be purely based in Europe. I was given to the understanding that the FIA was obliged to promote motorsport world wide.
1998 was the best in my opinion;
Round Dates Race
1 19–21 January Monte Carlo Rally
2 6–8 February Swedish Rally
3 28 February-2 March Safari Rally
4 22–25 March Rally Portugal
5 20–22 April Rally Catalunya
6 4–6 May Tour de Corse
7 20–23 May Rally Argentina
8 7–9 June Acropolis Rally
9 24–27 July Rally New Zealand
10 21–23 August Rally Finland
11 12–14 October Rally Sanremo
12 5–8 November Rally Australia
13 22–24 November Network Q Rally of Great Britain
sounds good but i truly would bring back Rally Japan,Norway,Ireland, Cyprus and Perth in Australia (for the next time it rotates). so to sum it up i would do a 16 round calendar yes i know 16:
Monte-Carlo
Sweden
Norway
Mexico
Argentina
Cyprus
Greece
Sardegna
Finland
Germany
New-Zealand/Australia(in Perth obviously)
Spain
France
Japan
Ireland
Wales GB
very nice calendar but again a proper WRC would have 18 events just like the best super motorsport of Formula one racing series... can you please post the 18 event calendar you would like to see ? i think we can have a calendar like that and maybe more, the teams can afford it.Quote:

very nice.... i like your thinking.... for you what would be ideal ? for me i think 1 event every 15 days so that makes it 24 events per year...but they also need lets say 1-2 months holidays to see their families and play games with their kids and their doggies. so that makes it 20 events....you think it is possible ? what your 20 events would be ? my knowledge is limited so i do not know what we could add... maybe safari and an event in some distant place like Cuba and bikini islands or hawai which is in the USA ? so that would draw huge audiences from the Nascar people...or maybe untested markets like south and north korea.... what do you think ? 20 events !!!! go on please enlighten us...
Monte-Carlo (Wet Tarmac)
Sweden/Norway (Split 1.5day in each country)
West Virginia

Corsica (Tarmac)

(Monte with Swed/Norway keep same spec cars.
Send new cars to USA and then ship to Brazil.
Turkey/Greece same spec cars.
Corsica/Ypres/Germany/Poland same spec cars.
Finland cars send to NZ right after then back for GB from USA/Brazil.
Portugal/Middle East and Ireland same spec cars as Turkey/Greece.)
For a moment I thought you're seriously thinking that but then saw the three capital letters in your user nameQuote:
