Not boring per se but boring in excitement and predictability. Most of the tarmac events were more or less predictable. These are also the words from Evans and Clark on one of the podcasts after rally Croatia.
We haven't seen tarmac rally as unpredictable and exciting as rally Croatia in a long time.

0,55 is more than enough for the first corner. Most racing pads have lower maximum value. On the second corner it is already higher.
Have you tried Carbone Lorraine? In my 106 I had a problem with the handbrake. I put RC5 at the rear and I have very strong handbrake from 0 degrees. And at the front RC6 does not have any change in power from 0 degrees Celsius to whatever. It is impossible to fade them or detect any change in power. There are only two problems: Price and that it wears discs like crazy. I dare say that you change discs more often than pads.

Countries that have good rallies and deserve a place in WRC are more than 13. Rotating system seems to be the only fair solution. For example on tarmac there are Corsica, Spain, Germany, Croatia, Japan that offer very good stages. About Ypres and Alsace I would not say they are on the same level, but they are adequate. It is not possible to have 5 tarmac rallies, some have to rotate. The same applies for tough gravel rallies. You cannot have Safari, Acropolis, Turkey and Cyprus in one year.
Regarding traffic jams in Croatia, I dare predict that Acropolis will have a huge problem.

IMHO Ypres is much better rally than Alsace and I like it more than Germany too. For spectating it is way better than Corsica too (that's only great for driving IMHO). No idea about Japan. Ypres has a huge advantage in having very easy access to the stages in their entire length therefore the people can spread and you have a chance to choose from plenty of spectacular places while still being able to move from stage to stage. The service park on the old city square is awesome too.

Right now it's down to:
- Who can pay for an event
- Who can arrange an event (in terms of COVID)
I understood that Rally Deutschland for example won't be a WRC event in the future anymore because ADAC don't want to pay for it or the costs became suddenly higher or something.
I'm not sure what happened with Tour de Corse, it seems the event hasn't been arranged in any form since 2019.
