FIA in my opinions makes a lot of strange choices in where they arranges rallies at WRC and ERC level.
Their thinking of spreading the gospel probably looks good in theory, but does not work in practical life.
To make a good event you need more than great scenery, you need a great start-list, and tough fights in several classes.
We have many rallies in those two championships, that will have the few top drivers in the top class, and thats it.
pls FIA understand that rally is not racing. It is not just the factories that makes this happen. In F1 they move as a pack, and it does not make a difference where they go, the racing experience is still almost the same. (If Tilke has not made a boring secure track)
But rally is depending on so much more to be a hot hit, and the gang apart from the paid drivers does not go to Canary Islands or Mexico, they can not afford it. Clean and simple.
FIA - pls rethink the policy of picking out events to 'emerging markets', pick the ones can fill the field with enough amateurs to give us and them a good show!
