Well Ypres was pretty boring for me, so the deal is similar in more way than one.

i don't really get how anyone could think a rally is boring when the first 5 drivers finish in the same minute. when at the end of saturday, 3 drivers are within 4 seconds.
i wonder what make an exiting rally then.

When every other corner looks the same for two days, you can't tell the stages from one another,
and alllive cameras show cars doing 40 kph on dusty junctions it's boring to watch on allive. (Onboards were better but with alllive scheme you only see onboard of first car for longer time).
Sure with small differences it should be interesting to watch for times, but it somehow isn't when all the cars fighting with each other are from same team and nobody ever wins a stage by more than 2s. Means you don't need to "follow" cause 3 stages later the time difference will be just as small between them.
In the end it feels relaxing to watch the cars on an F1 circuit cause you actually see different lines and car setups. Not just braking-90deg-throttle.
Yes some of the vids recoded by (immortal) spectators were quite nice, but we didn't get to see those kind of pics on alllive.

In terms of the route? I beg to disagree. Both rallies had excellent routes, except for the power stages!
But Liepaja will be like 2 km flat out with maybe one drivable corner, chicane, 2 km flat out, junction, etc.
I don't want to be mean against Latvian rally fans, and I always think that countries which are passionate about rallying should have a chance to host their own event. But at the same time, I think Liepaja is not WRC worthy as it is now, you need to work on the route. Estonia was a similar highway rally until 2017, then they started working on it and now they are a WRC event!
As for attending rallies live, my time and money are not enough to visit all WRC and ERC events in the world so I must use only videos to judge their routes. However, that way they are all equal to each other. I have never visited Wales Rally GB but I still love those roads.
Maybe you can explain to me what's so special about Liepaja?
