    This article explains the situation with Cyprus.

    https://cyprus-mail.com/2022/07/21/l...-and-criminal/

    The Cyprus Automobile Association on Thursday branded the finance ministry’s refusal to underwrite the holding of the Cyprus Rally over the next four years at WRC/ERC levels as “unreasonable and criminal”.

    But CAA president Antonis Michaelides said the offer from the FIA – the governing body of motor sport — still stood for 2023-2025 and expressed the hope that the government to emerge from the February 2023 elections will reconsider.

    Under the proposal, the Cyprus Rally 2023 would be held as part of the MERC (Middle East Rally Championship) or ERC (European Rally Championship) and those of 2024 and 2025 at WRC (World Rally Championship) level.

    Michaelides said he also had an informal chat with Disy’s president who told him that “the minister is unpersuadable.”


    So, with this government there is NO WAY for a WRC Rally Cyprus. If there is a new government in February 2023, we shall see.

    So Portugal & Spain will remain for at least another year as some of you guys said Latvia are working on 2024, and Cyprus should've accepted the deal now to get the slot for next year.

    Yeah, seems like too much of the same. I like Rally Estonia, I would like it to say. From what I've seen in Rally Liepaja, I don't think it's worth of WRC. Too much like driving on a highway and chicanes

    There are possible road/stage options to made rally Liepaja an interesting WRC event and they have organization behind that to do so. Im all for Latvia round, but Estonia in a same year seems too much. Rotating both events seems the best choice.

    At least stick one in early spring or late autumn and get some weather variety. Liepaja was in winter in the past, so is Sweden under threat? Sure why not.

Makes sense.
    Liepaja has been boring so far, dull roads.
    I actually don't mind Estonia being out of WRC bit we should have some better options to replace it.
