Come on... do you really believe that Latvia organizers invented it by themselves?🤨 "Hey, we are newcomers so let's surprise the whole rally world by something new like shorter distance".
I think answer can be found above in autosport.com article. FIA World Motor Sport Council is considering the idea of shorter distances so Latvia WRC as a newcomer could have been chosen as a test.

It's organizers choice, Promotor has nothing to do with it. I think simply not enough roads to make more mileage, and with SS1 in Riga and one rally day around Talsi/Tukums and base in Liepaja long road sections are also sure.

That's what the ERC is for then......If they haven't got the roads for a 300km WRC event, they shouldn't have bid for a spot.
Is there a better sound than that of Porsche engined Flat-6 ???

Please, Do not worry ! The article states just that rally SS distance will be longer than 250 km and this is just one journalists personal analysis based on the fact that WRC rally distances are longer than ERC rally distances. Do not worry, we have plenty of fast gravel and narrow forest roads.

No need to master Latvian language. I translated it to English.
What fake news? I wrote ,,ca 250kms'' and source says ,,exceed 250kms''. If the distance would be 280-300km, they wouldn't write like that..(although 280 or 251 would also be ,,exceed 250km'').
Haven't been to Latvia/their rallies and didn't write anything about organizers. I just read the article and what officials said there. Hopefully comes good rally!
