Some really good news, I hope it does pan out and we'll see them back in the calendar next Easter (assuming that's the slot they're targeting). Really hope this bares fruit and we'll have another (probably one of the best) tarmac round in the calendar. Craig would definitely be proud if they manage to pull it off.
Only you know your true potential.
This year we rally #ForCraig

I see it stemming from the European Commission ruling/agreement of that time. FIA may have put some 'sports federation' bits immediately into place for optics whilst retaining supreme authority / not bowing immediately. I doubt Bernie/Max were too happy with any of it, given that they caused it all.

Limerick would be close enough to do some of the classic stages in Kerry also. Road section would not be that long.
Would be a fantastic event and more than likely have better stages than 2007/9 and with a better slot in the calendar meaning (hopefully) better weather.
I always felt we did not showcase how good rallying is here in 2007/9 although the events were not bad either. I just think seeing the top WRC drivers on some of the classic stages would really show the world the level the sport is at here.

Dirtfish says they've contacted the Promoter for comment but on a recent podcast they said the Promoter was desperate to have an event back in the UK/Ireland.
I really hope this comes off as Ireland is a true hotbed of the sport with amazing roads and deserves to show this to the world again.

However, this wasn’t the Norwegian’s only offer for 2024. Mikkelsen revealed to Motorsport.com that he had an opportunity to join M-Sport on a full-time basis for this season.
