Hate to see both Portugal and specially Spain to lose their place in the Calendar. Imho Latvia and Cyprus has nothing to offer. North America is a welcomed addition though and keep WRC out of the desert :)

When talking to Moncet he said the next time the car has joker part(s) being homologated is the 1st of October.
Latvia is coming, most probably 2024 for 1 or max 2 years. Fast, flowing gravel, check ERC. However, switching EST and Lat would make more sense. Est event looked a bit artificial, in fact. Having Fin as only fast gravel alternative is boring; combining Fin with 1 rally in Baltics makes sense - spectacular speeds, nice pics and videos, good warm up-build up for classical Fin. Makes sense.
Spectator guide for Rally Finland also mentioned rumors of Latvia and Cyprus entering the series.
In Latvia preparations are already going on for round in 2024, so its very likely there is some kind of agreement with promoter already.
