I don't agree that they did the best job possible, I think ERC/Eurosport did the best job possible. Organizing rallies isn't easy nor quick, but as you notice I pointed out at big empty gaps in the calendar, not 2 weeks pauses. I'm not suggesting some organizers create a new rally out of nowhere, I'm suggesting WRC could have used exisiting rallies and try to run as many rounds as possible while the infections were low. They could have used ERC rounds, Lausitz rally (that hosted ERT) or other national events, for example. And if that's too big of a burden to have the full WRC field, just send the RC1 cars, as PLuto said there were talks about, but they led to nothing.

Is this actually a reliable info or just some Dirtfish speculations/rumors? In any case, between Roma Capitale and Estonia there was more than one month, enough time to fit two rallies. If Liepaja didn't work out (and it's not like it was cancelled few days before the start), I don't find impossible at all to find a round in whole August...
