Given the provisional date I reckon Valais is the most likely outcome, Cyprus is probably the most likely plan B.
Being biased towards rallies on my own shores I’d love to see a wet and muddy British season finale. Either north-mid Wales or the Lake District and Scottish Borders. The Pokerstars Rally all of a sudden becoming a 200+km ERC round would also be incredibly cool.

Biggest favourite from beginning is Cyprus. But still nothing decided. And no news. Which is bad for championship...

Ok, lets go step by step. Rallye du Var - I know that no event in France wanted ERC rounds during last years, also most probably because of FFSA? Race in UK as the last round will not help the championship as most of regulars will simply miss it (expensive in terms of transport to the island + they are out of EU which brings more troubles). Tuscan Rewind - it is nice race, but I dont believe they want to put second round in same country. Cyprus - very expensive round in terms of destroyed car after the rally, also nonsense for juniors as for 2WD cars this event is only for survive. But currently the biggest favourite. Rallye du Valais is beautiful event, despite in the past years it losts part of its charm (mainly because of shorter mileage of stages, so they have lost some of the beautiful stages. Also they have changed the organisation team this year. And I am not sure if they have enough budget to do ERC round. And Condroz? I am afraid about this event in terms of safety issues. In the times of Matton there were some push for this race, but now...

I'd like to see Valais or Condroz from the ones mentioned, but I've always heard of those Condroz safety problems in previous years. Are those about too many spectators?

Cyprus it is then!
OK Mull/IoM you may have a small point; and I know the Atlantic ferries are subsidised but there'd have been up to three slogs to the south-western tip of the peninsular and two to the borders of Russia, and Rome isn't exactly central. The later this call is will probably have more bearing on people showing up.
Almost all Finn's since Paavo Nurmi who are fast in their sport have been called "Flying", particularly the 1960's rally drivers, but I was actually thinking of "Flying Finnish" - the timing line at...
