I will say this, it's harder when you have a world championship on your shoulders rather than, an all European one, especially since (in all it's irony) this year, the FIA went (truly) global with events in Japan,New-Zealand and Kenya whilst still running Mexico & Argentina (& Chile if you consider the proposed Sep. 2019 Calendar).
However, the FIA & Promoter should've responded quicker to the situation once they saw events being dropped left & right, maybe even take an event from the ERC.... like Cyprus, might've been a good fix.
I know that as a fan it might seem that what I'm asking for is too much and I can't even possibly begin to realize the challenge both promoter, FIA and each rally organizer had this year and are still facing now (& next year). With all that said, the reason I'm asking this, is because I don't want to see this series die, I want it to prosper.
I want to know that I can trust that the people up there are doing their bid so our sport will continue for another year and another and after that prosper (once possible). I want to know that I don't have to be in an uncertainty when it comes to the WRC, I want them to have a proper plan and for them to know when to be flexible and to not go crashing straight into the wall.
I truly hope we will see our series live on, because in my humble opinion, we do have one of the best sports in the world, and unlike F1 (yawn) the title fight we had for the past 3 (& a half) seasons was an actual title fight...Last edited by Eli; 25th October 2020 at 18:51.

Safari was cancelled in mid-May, Finland in early June. And Covid-situation was still pretty dire in June, only getting better in July. You don't really put up a rally in a month, nor can you ask multiple rallies to try arranging a rally for the same weekend and hope that one of them succeeds.

Why not? It's just as much different from the usual rally as safari.
One such event would be an improvement of the championship. Rallying is all about being able to drive on everything everywhere. So why not an event on smooth clean asphalt.
It's something different, it will be just as much a challenge for the drivers.

The chicane penalties won't be used in WRC Monza Rally.

The old Safari probably would have been different as a rally. The 2020 Safari wouldn't have been that different.
But doing a whole rally of 10 km super special stages on a circuit with with chicanes, cones etc., that would be completely unique to the whole WRC.
I'm still hoping and believing that Monza will be made into a proper rally and not like Monza Rally Show. I don't care if they do the Monza Rally show style stage as a "super special" on Friday and Sunday. Even if they do it twice both days, as long as Saturday is a long day of proper stages.

We can speculate that the main reason was money The one thing the WRC Promoter told every candidate was not to forget about the "entry fee"
