Germany - Belgium they where close to Belgian borther a few years ago, crossing the border is Neuville land, East belgian region.
Greece - Cyprus
Ireland - GB

Australia's best rally stages are all in New Zealand anyway, thats why so many Aussies come here to rally.

Australia is as close as you can get to paradise... and NZ is paradise .

This is coming from someone currently in Victoria Aus.

And how should that work? Make a 3-4 day break between stages to get the cars on a ship those approx. 1000km over the mediterranean sea from Athens to Cyprus?

Yeah, most of the suggestions have been too abstract as well. You should start with an existing rally that is already close to the border like Rally Sweden is close to Norway's border. Meanwhile for example Rally Finland is so deep inside Finland that it could never co-operate with any country with the current regulations unless it would be moved to another city, and I just don't see that happening.

That could work.

The question is why would we want that? What can we gain by doing that?

[AnttiL]

Todt's main idea must have been to keep more of the classic European countries involved but with a smaller number of rallies, not to add in new European countries with no background in rallying

[Mirek]

... and the ultimate variant is The Rally of European Union with the center in Brussels (or perhaps Paris instead)...
