Finnish national series is run on dirt tracks. Not astro. So it would be weird if the worlds were run on astro, that the country doesn't normally use.

Also, according to the rule book:

5.1 SURFACE
Pack able rock free dirt - preferably sifted top soil/clay compound with minimum amounts of sand. Surface should be able to be easily broken and repaired to ensure a consistent and wide racing line. Such conditions have shown to yield excellent racing due to width and consistency of the racing line. Additionally qualifying is fairer as the ability to maintain a consistent surface gives all competitors
