Genuine question, is the WRC gaining in popularity or declining. I thought it had grown over the last five years or so?.

Time will tell.
I’ve mentioned a cup but it could be called championship or whatever; what I’m trying to say is that there’s no need for a total split in current WRC2 and privateers should still run inside the main series, while having a special competition for them (exactly like E28 inside ERC, which is far from being obscure).
I would agree in this statement. Tsjekkia or Poland would be good.
Japan with maybe two manufacurers would also be good.
I would like to see a rally in North America as well.
Maybe FIA need to revisit the rotation plan

But it is hard to be able to keep a organiser staff in place if they are not in business every year.
How much money is left for organizers on the bottom line, anything?
‘Still’ no round. What a silly comment.
There was a round just last year.
Remember how well that was managed?
For the sake of geography no, there wasn't.
Neither ie Eastern Europe.

This is very much off topic and I apologize to everyone but this picture is so interesting... Putting apart the geographical side your reply and your image show how much different we see ourselves (in Europe at least).
For example, from my perspective (Italy), eastern Europe is everything east of Vien and Berlin and south of Scandinavia. Hell even baltic republics are east Europe for us. The only exception is Greece, Greece is not east but Albania and Macedonia (or should we say north macedonia soon?) are!
I think this is due mainly from the iron courtain which has divided the continent for half a century. Your image is something like a Subregion map of Europe right? Well I can say that it does not show how Europe is perceived by a lot of its inhabitants.
From that point of view instead, your country together with Poland and others is part of "middeleurope" the "Mitteleuropa" which actually has strongest root in the history.
What I also notice is the green for Italy and Greece but I was sure that from other Europe countries we were also in the same club as Spain, Portugal, maybe even France as southern Europe states.
I'm sure that other guys see that even different. That's nice and bad at the same time.
Well, history didn't take just 50 years of iron curtain existence. Central Europe is historically connected mostly with the existence of Holy Roman Empire, Austro-Hungarian Empire or Polish-Lithuanian principality and with the fact that these areas were mostly catholic or protestant but not orthodox like most of the Eastern Europe.
PS Just out of curiosity I live 150 km to the west of Vienna, 500 km to the west of Helsinki and 250 km to the west of Taranto.
