Yes and no.

Winter Rally had no access roads to stages.

Winter had only 1 different stage in Friday and Sunday.

Winter rally was held 7-10h drive from big cities where most people live, Jyväskylä is 1-3h drive from those.

So keeping spectators out from Jyväskylä is 100 harder (and more expensive)

Also cost of making Summer Jyväskylä is 5x more than Arctic.


Another thing:
FIA requested this move because looks like Rally Estonia probably needs that slot where Finland was planned. And for weather (road conditions) reasons Estonia can´t be in September-October weekend.
But our Estonian members know way more about Estonia "C19" situation.
