Some good points above;

When you keep messing around with your format; it just suggests you have no confidence in your product and/ or you don't know what you're doing. Rallying is NOT F1 or RallyX, so stop trying to make it like them. It's meant to be a test of speed and endurance of man and machine.

I think going for 8-10 events would be better for the WRC; can it really support 14-16 events? Not in my opinion. Too many involved think the sport is bigger than it actually is.
