Well, Japan is after Portugal. Then it's Acropolis, Estonia, Finland, Paraguay, Chile, Italia (Sardegna?), Saudi Arabia. Are any of those not gravel?

They want to add another round in Asia after or before Japan in 2027, hence the reason for moving Rally Japan to May:

It did a demo run on the Harju SSS and Kankkunen said he was 7th fastest (in WRC2 I presume)...

Not 7th fastest. He was 7 times fastest there during his career. He joked about being fastest there again because of being the only one in the hydrogen class.

Soon no privateer will be able to get together a budget for WRC2 or 3, since FIA will do the same as Infantino in FIFA, move away from Europe, to get easier customers that do not say NO, and are critical to the president!!
Many national representatives in many sports and the olympic movememt are taking bribes when it comes to elections for presidents!
