Look at this map:

That is a sad looking "World Rally Championship".

Look back to what it was in 2008:

Round Dates Race
1 24–27 January / Monte Carlo Rally

2 8–10 February Swedish Rally

3 28 February-2 March Rally Mexico

4 27–30 March Rally Argentina

5 24–27 April Jordan Rally

6 16–18 May Rally d'Italia Sardegna

7 29 May-1 June Acropolis Rally

8 13–15 June Rally of Turkey

9 31 July-3 August Rally Finland

10 15–17 August Rallye Deutschland

11 28–31 August Rally New Zealand

12 2–5 October Rally Catalunya

13 10–12 October Tour de Corse

14 31 October-2 November Rally Japan

15 5–7 December Wales Rally GB

Jordan, Japan, New Zealand, Acropolis, Turkey. It seemed to be a bit more rounded than it is now. They also managed 15 rounds back then.

Also, take a look back in time to the thread that was started on "which rally would you like to see in the WRC?" Many people were then saying Rally GB is boring, lets go to the US or back to Asia...
