Guess those complaining never been to those rallies.
When people talk about dropping Sardinia or Corsica it's not that they personally dislike the rally. The promoter prefers rallies on the mainland because of easier access and costs. The number of spectators on the island rallies is comparatively low to mainland rallies.

In the end they have to strike a balance between the traditional rallies and new rallies with financial interests. The world and context changes so the sport has to adapt, the only question is how well it does that so we have good rallies in the future.
