I think the manufacturers are in charge and they pick up what they think it's best for the team. In the case of Latvala and even Hivonen they promised a very good curve on performances in the beginning of there career but in the end both meet a even better driver(s) to compete against. On the other hand i saw no better options the last few years, especially for Hirvonen because in the end he's still a good team-driver and good for many podiums. And Latvala is the best next driver after Ogier and yes with more than 10 years experience but if you don't judge that as talented you really don't know what you're talking about.
And sometimes it's possible the most talented driver isn't choosen, but in the end maybe even in Africa there's a driver living who can be better and faster than Ogier. In the end we never know, only can judge afterwards. And that's so easy...

Say what you want, but I think my knowledge of Finnish rally seen is a bit better than yours...

For instance if you go to Corsica, or even Sardinia, realistically you need to book accommodation. That is something a real rally fan is happy to do but for the casual fan there are no day trips. From what I've heard about Sardinia the spectator numbers are not that great?

If we are only going to rally in densely populated places that are easy to get to, all the rounds of the WRC should be held in NL or Belgium from now on.

The thing is, the roads and backdrop in corsica are loveley, and MC is not exactly an easy place to get to. Last year when I went to the stages from Northern italy I had to dodge collapsed road sides, flash floods on the narrow winding roads and there were long queues of cars. It was still lovely though but not exactly easy to get to.

I think corsica provides an unique challenge and the WRC is short of those :(

Ok I vote België then rather than Nederland.... better beer, fritjes, Vlaamse is easier than that damn Randstad Hollandse, it's the land of my forefathers and if you take the time to look past the sometimes too many sweaters, more variety of friendly wimminz...

And how easy is it to get to Torsby i Varmland in middle of winter?
It's pure wilderness. They don't even speak Swedish there.:uhoh:

Excuses, excuses – they’re always complaining about something that is different. Service parks, hotels, islands, night stages, wind, rain, mud etc

Just what do they want? WorldRX??

If they want large crowds near large populations then most events have to go/ move. If they want important car markets then Finland/ Sweden, etc get dropped.

Yeah and god forbid that happened. Both the WRC becoming RX and the two nations where rallying in it's modern format more or less was born being dropped. I also think this is excuses and BS.

Nah, they speak Värmländska, which is charming as F :)
And Torsby is piss easy, we have the E45 running right next to it. The various stages are a bit more difficult, but only a bit. MC is much worse in my opinion!
