hopefully it won't ruin their chances to get in to the WRC calendar in the near future

The same has happened a few times in recent years and yet still there had been talk of WRC, I don't think the cancellation of the 2017 event will be any different. They're smart in that they're not just ploughing on regardless, in denial about the circumstances on which they find themselves and, as Bobby Willis said, not doing the name of Circuit of Ireland a disservice

Sad news, but a sensible decision. Obviously not a reflection on Bobby or his event; merely a reflection on the sport. Where are the big money sponsors to back events like this? Didn't it win a Tourism award last year? But can't attract funding to run....

Shock news..

And after such a successful 2016 event all the more so.

The ERC could be struggling for top events next year.

Yes, we shouldn´t forget also Ypres organizers were complaining loudly this year.

Don´t find anything positive about Jean-Baptiste Ley´s words. It´s just standard talk.

I read that Drive DMACK Fiesta Trophy can go to ERC in 2017, anyone know of any information about this?

Polish champion Lukasz Habaj added Barum and Liepaja to his rally programme for this year. More details at:
