Fear we're going to end up in the same situation as WRX here soon, where the calendar becomes global and more expensive, the works teams pull out and we're left with a calendar full of flyaway races no-one wants to go to. I'm sure Citroen will be delighted by losing a French and Italian event for two more markets they don't sell to. Chile seems a strange addition in this context. Ah well, no doubt they'll be threatening to drop the UK round again as usual.
But I'm sure it's all been well thought out......aka Rodger Davies

They should start rotating events, so several organizers would have a chance, diversity with more new and unfamiliar routes.

Autosport.pt wrote a similar piece last week, with one slight difference: Ciesla was looking to get 15 events, so only one European rally would have to leave. Besides, he also said that Poland could be back and Croatia could get in, as most events contracts seems to expire this year...

Max 14 is the optimum. with 5 outside of europe. And 3 tarmac events. Two snowy. The rest gravel.
MCA, SWE, MEX, CHI, TDC, KEN, POR, FIN, DEU, TUR, GB, JAP, NZ, SPA
Mexico-Chile and Japan-New Zealand could be paired for cost savings. NZ also not last round just to make sure that attendance would be better. (I changed AUS for NZ and drop ARG, ITA because they are nothing special just some random gravel events).

I am from Gran Canaria. I am absolutely convinced that there will be no problem with the rally.
