NZ will take over AUS for good after next year. The event will be held in the north island and half of all Kiwis in Auckland will attend which is about 100 times more than the poor attendance for Australia.

Half the spectators in Aussie are from NZ anyway! ;)
I'll be happy if NZ is back in the WRC (captain obvious strikes again) but don't want to get my hopes up too much until its official.
Amen!
According to Paul Fraikin the calender of WRC 2020 would be like this:
Monte Carlo
Sweden
Mexico
Chili
Argentina
Portugal
Sardinia
Kenya
Finland
Germany
New Zealand
Spain
Northern Ireland
Japan
As much as I am open to changes, for me a season should start in Monte and finish in GB... Can't quite explain why, but Monte is a big gamble and it's a nice rally to kick off the season after the break with pretty much any driver having a chance to win, and GB late in the year with rain, darkness, mud, etc. just has all the ingredients for a drama finale.
Well, this is caused by the MSA, not FIA... ;) I'm afraid that, in the long run, this move could cause a "Brexit" from the WRC calendar. I don't really understand what's wrong with Wales Rally GB. As long as they manage to organize it, they should keep it.
If they can get to use the right stages rally NI will be amazing we have had to travel across to Wales is time for u guys to come this way!!!
