I'm afraid that the cost of more events + more expensive cars (including developing those new cars) will lead to shorter events... Apart from all spectators and some drivers most people probably wouldn't mind...
In my opinion 15 or 16 events is ok but it's a heavy schedule and depending on logistics it's a budget question. Teams send kit overseas by container, while another set of kit is on the European continent for European events. Rally cars are sent at last minute by air freight. A guy like Kubica is skipping Australia because he'd need two sets of kit to do it, and maybe two cars, like we had when we were private in 2003 & 2004.
