Sad, but still the only possible decision.
Big shame.....Quote:

I suspect they will do something similar to F1 and have multiple events at 1 location if they need. Two, two day events should be possible in a single location.Quote:

I know NZ and Japan are long haul, but if the local situations regarding Covid restrictions allow the events to run, then why would they be off the table?
cancel the whole year then
unbelivable...
F1 can run without fans as they have the TV money - WRC doesn't have that; so spectator ticketing is most events biggest revenue raiser. What events can manage without fans and still run? I doubt there are many.
Hope´s for Germany are not that high, local authorities on rally area are strongly against it.Quote:

Wait and see if the ERC Rally di Roma happens. If it can then others can too.
WRC needs to get back into action asap or its profile will be gone and sponsors who have even tighter budgets next season will have moved on.
