WRC Calendar 2018

It absolutely supports the argument. If spectators on the ground aren't the target market, there's no need to travel. You may as well compact the series and enable better use of resources, potentially more participants and more opportunities for drivers.

Do you work for WRC promoter? You must love the idea of Rally Croatia and Turkey... Or are they too far/too much of an effort/expense too? You come across rather contrary. If we're going to keep up this discussion can you please flesh out your plan. What are you actually proposing? So far at best you seem to be advocating a return, after 44 years of the World Championship, for the WRC to return to European Rally Championship status. At worst you could be advocating turning the WRC into a Gymkhana Championship, perhaps focused of running around the car parks of the competing manufacture teams bases...

Another supportive comment.

How does having more rounds in Europe, where there are large numbers of spectators, help that perceived problem?

Yes they do. But they also need to balance that against the economic factors.

So rallying is too poor to maintain a World Championship, which it currently does?

No, it actually doesn't.

No, it LITERALLY does. Familiarise yourself with the FIA's requirements for a series to maintain World Championship status.
