From what I can read it seems pretty much confirmed that Corsica and Germany are booted out in favor for Japan and Kenya.

I can understand Corsica, but Germany?

It's well visited, liked by teams and fans, short haul for the teams and really well organized. I truly do not understand the reasoning here.

We have shit rounds like Australia that means sending everything on a ship half around the world to a crap rally on crap stages in the middle of nowhere, visited by maybe 20 drunk morons every year that lie down right next to the stage and risk getting run over.

Can someone understand the reasoning at the promoter and the FIA?
