Ok thanks for clarifying. I’ll have to scout out the circuits you’ve identified that I’ve not seen previously and get my impression of them.
I can’t speak for the MKRA as a whole, but Xander’s proposal certainly highlights a group of tracks from the Sony and Sega spheres and while MKRA might balk at putting so many events into those areas, given the new agreements between Nintendo and the game franchises in question, I believe that places like Wumpa Island, Dole Floors, Eggmanland, etc, could well be in line to host grands Prix in 2020.
A lot will probably depend on what teams end up getting relegated and who ends up being promoted from the promotion series this December. I have to believe that some teams like Crash and Coco Bandicoot, or perhaps teams like Shadow and Knuckles or Aiai and Meemee will try to achieve promotion...I would throw Spyro in there but I’m not sure who he will partner with.
Regarding the international human world tracks, some reduction there is probably likely, with the weaker countries in terms of game sales probably being closest to the chopping block, though again what teams and sponsors are relegated and/or promoted will definitely have an impact. I would have to think that Japan, England, Canada, and USA would be locks based on Nintendo’s sales in those nations. After that, it gets trickier. One probable cut is Germany, as F1 won’t be racing at Hockenheim in 2020. Again others could depend on the team lineup. Russia and Brazil as examples, will probably be cut if Louie/Olimar or Pikachu/Pichu get relegated, but probably stay if they stay up. Likewise for France and Mexico, if Kirby/Dedede and Yoshi/Birdo stay up it’d be hard seeing those races cut.
The MKRA 2020 schedule wont be finalized until early January following the
Promotion series
