I dont think event security will be a problem i think organization can deal with that somehow. Turkey doesn't have any big rally event since 2011? At the moment they have an ERT event, upgrading that to an WRC event is a big step. So, i think the real question is, are they ready Organization wise ( Stewards etc..)?
I doubt Turkey will have a WRC event next year, for them having a ERC event first would be also a good option.
It would be nice to have a rough gravel event and going to a beautiful country especially coast side but at the end FIA makes the decision so we will see.
since 2010, shame Greece didn't get the slot, or even Japan instead of China.
Does Rally Finland always announce the route so early?
I'm waiting for the Rally Portugal one, which is two months before Finland. It's quite frustrating when you are trying to plan your trip.
If I remember correctly, they used to announce the route at the end of February or early Mars. It´s early but sooo nice...
