WRC Calendar 2025

They said the same last year and we ended up having it in October...

I think the last place on the calendar is between CER and Croatia (my own speculation)

We don't need government money to have a rally, only to fill the pockets of greedy FIA people.

Obviously everyone loves to kick the FIA for some reason, but you do realise that it is the WRC Promotors that get the fees and become rich. They are making as much money as they possibly can, it is a business to them, plus lots of them get paid to attend the events, travel around the world including possible candidate events, and have nice jollies on the side.

I'm sure the FIA make a lot of money out of it too. They're not a charity...

They would get money from Promoter, the Manufacturers, Events, competitors....

And who picks the promotor?

President of the Estonian Autosport Union Toivo Asmer, said this in the Delfi Rally Estonia magazine: "I believe that this year's ERC rally is quite a welcome break before the 2025 season and the subsequent WRC rallies. The organizers plan to do several things better again, and a little warm-up time will be very beneficial."

Its a pity to see Croatia go, if true, it had become one of my favourite rallies on the calendar. Any idea if its expected to be back again soon?
