Some one would have to pony up the dough to cover that cost before even thinking about asking the teams to do that.
    Actually, no. The teams have two service gear setups. One is for overseas and one is for European. Still this year Corsica was driven between Mexico and Argentina and this caused no problems. Even if Mexico, Chile and Argentina would have been driven consecutively, the cars and drivers would have still flown back to Europe after Mexico (Chile and Argentina were linked) with the overseas service gear slowly rolling from Mexico to Chile.

    The biggest problem is that rallies aren't set up so quickly. You need to find sponsors and partners, design the route and get permissions for it. For example Rally Finland's route and road contracts are almost finished at this point of year, and it's not driven until August.

    Latvala thinks that Abu Dhabi won't return to rallying. He still hopes that Citroen C3 WRC's will be used by some private team

    Fingers crossed. I'd love to see the C3's again with their new aero etc.

    Ostberg should be the best chance having previously driven the C3 WRC and with him having fallen out with M-Sport.

    The new aero will never be seen.

    The car will be forever stuck in its 2019 form....

    You can't further homologate the car without being a registered manufacturer....

    2. Who will pay the most money.
    3. Who will pay the most money.
    4. Who will pay the most money.
    5. Who will pay the most money.

    Yes.
    Because every driver/car will get same brand tyres, it doesn´t matter how good or bad each brand is.
    Money to FIA only matters.

    If manufacturers must use them (MRF) and R5 can choose freely, we could see an R5 car win Monte Carlo.
