Skeptical about a 6-abroad rally calendar in terms of cost, all the more with some places not that good in terms of marketing (+ when we see the Finnish article, sounds to be 6 + Cyprus as there are talking about Middle-East and 2 American events). But if the logistics mutualisation between events is well done, why not but it would be even more than the most on Loeb’s era with a 16-event calendar (the most was 5 + Turkey or 5 + Cyprus). Already trying to get back to 4 or 5 would have sounded more cautious to me.
With such a type of calendar, a 7-round WRC-2 program could be complicated to create for some drivers.

Cyprus is a non-sense to me with a Greek rally already there + a Middle-East one.
And no rally in neither Spain nor Portugal is even more a non-sense to me. And all the more with adding Latvia whereas Estonia and Finland are already there.

Last point is that with what is evoked, the tarmac/gravel is even more ruined.

For me, we should keep absolutely as the core basis (3 tarmac, 1 fast gravel, 2 slow gravel)
Monte Carlo, Safari, Finland, Greece, Catalunya, Japan.

Then add:
- 2 tarmac rallies among Barum, Ypres, Croatia, a German one and an Italian one (Roma or San Remo).
- 1 snow rally (most logical is Sweden at the moment but why not try something else considering some of the issues of the last years)
- 1 fast gravel, most logical being Estonia (and else Latvia or Poland)
- 1 slow gravel in Oceania (NZ logically)
- 1 gravel in America (Mexico?)
- 1 gravel rally in Europe, either a UK one Wales-type or Portugal (not really convinced by Sardegna organization)
- a last one whatever it is.
