New provisional WRC calendar has been revealed today by FIA and there are some major changes on it. Three rallies with long history are out and three events are in.

Japan and Safari Rally are coming back and I must admit that I am happy that black people of Africa will have their rally in Kenya back in WRC again. I never liked Japan round and they say it will be 100% tarmac rally in 2020. Now I don't like it even more. But I like Japan as a country.

There is another rally with long tradition back on the calendar and that's New Zealand Rally, event that wasn't in WRC from 2012. Now they are back with their smooth gravel stages just like in Finland. It can be rainy also, just like in Finland back in a days.

What about rallies that are out of the calendar 2020?!

Three rallies won't be present next season and that's Corsica, Catalunya (Spain) and Australia, all three with big tradition and history.

I guess FIA will rotate calendar from now and that's good decision.
