Sad, but still the only possible decision.

I suspect they will do something similar to F1 and have multiple events at 1 location if they need. Two, two day events should be possible in a single location. Originally Posted by Fast Eddie WRC

I know NZ and Japan are long haul, but if the local situations regarding Covid restrictions allow the events to run, then why would they be off the table?

F1 can run without fans as they have the TV money - WRC doesn't have that; so spectator ticketing is most events biggest revenue raiser. What events can manage without fans and still run? I doubt there are many.
Is there a better sound than that of Porsche engined Flat-6 ???

Hope´s for Germany are not that high, local authorities on rally area are strongly against it. Originally Posted by Fast Eddie WRC

Everybody should just face it and admit, that the season is over and when the new one will start, is also a question. The time they plan to resume the season, will be the second wave (or hopefully just fear of it).

Wait and see if the ERC Rally di Roma happens. If it can then others can too.
WRC needs to get back into action asap or its profile will be gone and sponsors who have even tighter budgets next season will have moved on.

Well but aren't the future Rally1 basically that? Rally2 with safety cell, a bit more powerful and a bit larger aero. So FIA can make a variant with less aero, less tuned engines, limited suspension...
