If they can make an exception for professional football then surely professional rallying could make a case. With a suitable level of testing and isolation for competing crews before an event the risk may be mitigated to a point where it's acceptable. It isn't the same in club rallying where you're potentially sharing a car with someone who's contact history you have no control over. Maintaining safety for mashals and timekeepers should be possible with the "paperless" proposals in the MUK document. With those precautions WRC events should be possible. It's spectators that will prevent events from happening.
It maybe possible for the top WRC1 drivers and co-drivers to be treated like top footballers and kept in isolated hotels and tested every few days. But what about all the other entrants ? And if they cant be treated the same could/should a WRC event run with only the WRC1 crews ?
To be honest, with the current guidelines, it's not happening. However, they may well change, and there are still 5 months to go. If the 2xBritish GPs at Silverstone get the green light - then maybe it's possible, but rightly, or wrongly, F1, like football has a bigger pull. Rallying is well down the list of sports to return.
I'm also interested to see what some of the domestic motorsport series handle the current guidelines.
Due to the pandemic the project of Autoklub ČR and ACA Škoda Autoklub Team to support Filip Mares in WRC and ERC is over:

To me the big problem isnīt the teams/drivers. If medical testing is doing properly they could just work on like before even on rallies. If proper actions are taken for the stages and people in common stay home if they feel sick, what could possibly go wrong?
This article is about the tax problems Latvala is having. He lives officially in Monaco, but Finnish tax authorities think he has spent so much time in Finland he should pay Finnish taxes. There's tax debt from several years and now one of his apartments and a car is being distrained.
Surely there must be an actual maximum amount of days he can be in Finland before he is liable to pay Finnish taxes? If so it should be relatively clear cut, he either has or hasn’t been in Finland enough to be liable.
In the UK there is a limit (I don’t recall how many days it is), amongst other criteria that would render someone liable to pay UK income tax.
Although I do recall a few years ago that Tennis and Golf were being scrutinised because the players earn from the winnings of the event in which they participate, and the argument was that they should be liable to pay local tax on those earnings, rather than those where they ‘live’.
