Borders will be open with the UE on Monday, I think main problem will be economic in this case, Also event is just one week after Germany, and I don’t think a change of date is posible now with the national calendar so full

Not a best example to form opinions on Rally Liepaja. This stage has been in route only once and I think it will never happen again.
However this stage will stay forever - https://youtu.be/sK2Ip3yaUCM
It has more tight corners and crests, but still a lot of long straights and haybale chicanes. Also remember that the new WRC cars could take flat out some corners with the help of aero, where some smaller cars would have to brake.
Curiously the roads seem to be very wide and firm-surfaced, as opposed to the softer roads of Poland and Estonia, but the common thing for these countries is a more flat topography, compared to Finland.
Great stage! ERC Liepaja was always a good show in the last years and WRC would definitely be a even bigger one.
The R5 battle between WRC2 / WRC3 and ERC crews would be also epic.
Hats off to the organisers if they are able to make it happen, especially if others like Finland failed. Fingers crossed that we are rallying again in WRC in about 2 months time.
Personally I just hope to see some rallying on good level. More wrc rallies the better. Even better would be having the possibility to go see some wrc event in person this year.
