[WRC] Ardeca Ypres Rally 2022

Also for ERC should be (and was) better 6 of 8. But 7 of 13 is very bad. But I dont know how better it can be done in WRC with so many rounds...

Well, anyway, FIA and Promoter will have to find a solution if they want to increase the number of abroad events. If rumors about the calendar are correct, a driver next year could make a WRC-2 championship with no European event (or maybe only Cyprus) if no change in the regulations; for example, a Zaldivar or a guy like that. It could completely ruin the championship and European drivers not to come there after one or two years like this.
Mikkelsen is talking about mandatory events; well, maybe a bit complicated with conflict with National rounds. And forbidding abroad rallies is not the solution. Probably something mixed is the best solution: the contender must register in at least 4 or 5 events in a certain panel of rallies (for example, this season, I would have said at least 4 events among Portugal-Sardinia-Estonia-Finland-Greece-Catalunya or maybe 5 among the same list+ MonteCarlo). It lets a certain adaptability to drivers with letting a big fight in some rallies; and you can still do the events closer from your place for extra-European drivers (American rallies for South American drivers / Pacific rallies for NZ/Australian drivers)
