Not seen that race before.
Crossed Bosnia in my first TCR and there was also the epicly sweary CP5 last year (Bjelašnica)
https://thehippy.net/blog/transcontinental-race-tcrno4-part-5/I really should try and write more about these races as an aid to my shocking memory but it's hard to process two weeks of 'stuff' and afterwards I just don't want to relive it via my twitter feed.
Switzerland, the French alps this year were beautiful, Italy has sketchier driving but is cheaper and great for food, the hillier parts of Serbia I did last year or the year before were great. It kinda depends on what we were able to do - a longer time period I might go for cheaper countries whereas if it's only a week or so I'd probably hit the big rewards, ie. big French/Swiss mountains.
Every country has good and bad bits but the big bang for buck stuff is also the more expensive. There's some amazing scenery in Montenegro - Pluzine/Durmitor for example that I'd totally hit again:

Any of the control points are worth exploring more:
