WRC Calendar 2025

Because it's too rough, isn't it?

I doubt that's the case. Safari, Acropolis and Sardegna are quite rough too. Cyprus is small market and I think rallying is not as popular there as in Estonia and Latvia.

Yeah, I'd like to see it in the ERC, there aren't any rough gravel rallies in there

Which gravel rallies do they run this year? Hungary, Estonia, Sweden & Rally Silesia? yeah, and they used to have them before covid.

Same story but a year later…
But now with Saudi Arabia is difficult to add another one middle-east race.

Let me guess, the ex-minister of the CAA is of a right-leaning party, whilst the ruling party setting up the Federation is leaning left?

Good on them; rallying needs to attract proper commercial sponsorship - not handouts from government/local assemblies/ tourist boards. The hosting fee for a WRC round is ridiculously high for a currently lame series.
