Higher Covid-19 cases are coming back in many parts of Europe. I wonder if WRC Sardinia and Ypres will actually go ahead.
Ypres is probably at most risk of cancellation as Italy seems to be managing better and had rallies already.

These rumours have been going on since August, lets see, if they really go through, with the economy already suffering.

I still don't know why they haven't moved it forward by 3 weeks to the end of October, the organizers said they were working on the itinerary for a long time, and didn't wait for the FIA to know whether or not they would be included in the calendar. It's beyond me why they haven't changed the date and besides, for the WRC to have another 2 month break after we already had 6 months with no rallies, can't do good to anyone, especially as November-December will be winter in Europe... Honestly the FIA needs to shake the dust off or else we'll see this championship die quickly, you already have M-Sport struggling and now with Hyundai having stopped paying their staff...it doesn't bode well for the future of our sport...
Only you know your true potential.

Sorry my bad, although I did read the full text, and this specifically caught my attention: 'there will be a freeze on basic pay', and for some reason I was more focused on that although later it says:'a one-off bonus amounting to 150 per cent of an employee’s monthly salary, a 1.2 million won ($1,029) Covid-19 allowance, 10 company shares, and 200,000 won ($172) in gift certificates.' so for now it seems they are OK, but they did also report on a 33% drop of sales worldwide:'Hyundai recently announced that its global retail sales fell by 33 per cent in the second quarter as a result of the pandemic.' nothing unusual here considering COVID-19 but since they are competing in the WRC, I'm sure at some point they'll start looking (if they haven't already) at their motorsport programs and their return on investments...
