    The thing is that promoter wants one rally to be held in north america since the only country that show interest there is Canada. I believe that Abu Dhabi could be next one for middle-east or Jordan back

    They are promoters. They don't think in continents, they think in television markets and audience income demographics. "North America" means "middle class USA with disposable income".

    In the usa people don't want to see real fair racing or rallying, they want to see show. Crashes, fire, explosions, ...
    As long as it requires a no longer attention span than 10 seconds, it can get popular. Otherwise, forget it.

    Lappi has concerns about spectator safety when the series return to Kenya next year. Let's just say our crash in Argentina wasn't that safe due to spectators standing where they were. How are they going to handle these kind of things in Kenya?

    But there are some positive things after all (regarding 2020 calendar): There's less tarmac, which is good because our car doesn't work on tarmac at all.
