OFC it's no question SA brought more money, and I wouldnt mind that if said money would be used to better the sport and not just land in the pockets of (un)important people.
one can hate on fag1 but even if they pull a lot of money from it, FOM and FIA reinvests a shitload into important things which make the sport more popular like improving the broadcast, holding showruns in cities, etc
I don't really subscribe the X rally should be the last one camp. We old shits have fond memories of rally gb being the last one because arguably the peak years had it in that spot mostly but those werent great times bc the brits closed the season(more so that in those years spain and australia also closed the year multiple times). I can only think 1 rally having a fixed time calendar spot due to muh heritage and it's monte.
The way more important is to have the last rally in Europe, given this is the core market, you can move the most people for the showdown if it's here. And from that point IDC if it's the uk, spain or czechia or any other european country, just do it in continental europe or the uk.
SA being way closer and cheaper to travel to than australia or japan, it's a step better in that respect than them.If the organizers have some brain, they will try to somehow tie it together with the Dakar which will be also there less than a month after the rally
