Given that it must take a few weeks to get this long haul container stuff from Mexico to Argentina, you may as well do another event somewhere in Europe...
It makes it more expensive that you've got to have two cars per driver. One with gravel setup goes to Mexico and then to Argentina, the other one with tarmac setup stays in Europe. It may be okayish for manufacturers, but probably no private team can do it. But maybe that's the goal, to get rid of privateers doing full championship.
