Well, most of the asphalt events.. there is too little spectacle on tarmac. I have watch all the events, all the stages in live, since 2018 in service park and I have to agree.. yes, cars look nice, but often that is all. For me and for most of the people, regular asphalt rally is not the way to go, especially on TV. I like special asphalt events like Monte where you have mixture with snow, salt, dry asphalt, rain. I liked Spain when it was mixed event, starting on gravel, then moving to asphalt. Japan is also quite interesting with high variability of different asphalts, some small gravel sections, some very muddy sections, huge amounts of leaves. I like ERC Barum rally with its bumpy stages. Some Croatian stages are also nice. That is all. The amount of nice footages you can get on gravel and fast gravel is much higher compared to regular asphalt event. On-site experience is slightly different, but this is only for small amount of people... I think the balance this year has been quite good, I would just swap between Croatia and Argentina, haven't seen Central Europe yet.

Asfalt can be spectacular to IMO, Irish narrow roads, the vinyards on wrc germany,..

i think it is a very personal question...but we can all agree that variety, also inside the same event, is the key.

from other angle - we could have 7 gravel events where 'cleaning effect' could be massive (presume all events are dry, not like this year some of them...), so leader starts... then drops a few places... other event - same story... could be fun reshuffle
and for desert two tarmac events, where starting order is important also - I look forward for next year with optimistic glasses ON

It's a commercial series, not the rules of a sport. Comparable and in today's Premier League news: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c4n1ndjd7nmo
