The WRC Calendar draft for 2020 leaves out Corsica and Germany to make room for Kenya and Japan. Also mentioned is the possible swap of Australia for New Zealand.

It really annoys me Sardinia stays over Germany or even Corsica (and I've said in the past Corisca should go because France technically have two events with Monte). However to only have Japan as a true tarmac event next year is an absolute disgrace for the championship (unless GB moves to the tarmac of Northern Ireland AND Spain gets back to being full tarmac).
I really do like what Cielsa is trying to do in making this a proper world championship. I like the Mexico/Argentina/Chile long events, the return to Japan will be great and they've brought back the Safari (and aren't going to make it a pathetic 300km event either which is a relief), but where's the tarmac....

A source close to the event said: "She [Mouton] said her desire and that of the world is to see the Safari Rally as a true test of man and machine.
"Although a WRC Safari will be shortened to around 500 kilometres (310 miles) spread over three days, it must remain hard work for the current crop of sprinters who are so evenly matched that in some events they are separated by milliseconds.
EDIT: I sent the author (David Evans) a question about this and he replied that in his understanding Safari are trying to get a waiver to run a longer itinerary.Last edited by AnttiL; 17th May 2019 at 09:14.

Kenya will not be a 500km rally. I can tell you first hand. Was born in Kenya and have indirect ties to the organizers of the rally. They don't have enough private land for 500km. Public land is too dangerous and risky. It's basically farm land and fire roads... Mostly smooth roads even better than Turkey. I met two of the main organizers at Rally Turkey last year. They we're very vocal about how rough the Turkish roads were since they drove through many stages with FIA.. A vid of what stages would look like. https://youtu.be/mWLZhNgHVmA
