    Matton says we should have four more rounds this year, seven in total, in order to declare the champion. Original source: Motorsport Aktuell

    Looking further ahead, they're still trying to talk the NI Government into funding Rally GB in 2021, so it's not dead yet... https://www.autosport.com/wrc/news/1...usp-of-wrc-bid

    Somewhat interestingly Evans has said this, at some point:
    Evans has described Northern Ireland as being a "welcome addition to the WRC".

    "The roads are definitely unique and we don't have anything similar to Irish Tarmac stages in the championship at the moment," he said.

    "The rallies that I have done over in Ireland were always well attended and they always had a great atmosphere."
    Seems odd Evans of all people backing a move from Wales, unless he believes/knows that continued Welsh funding is a lost cause?

    That may be a quote from a piece where some drivers were asked what rally they’d like to add to the calendar. I can’t remember where it was published, otherwise I’d try and find it. Anyway, if I remember correctly he suggested Ireland and prefaced it with ‘not at the expense of Wales of course!’. It was just fantasy so that may be why he suggested something that could only be at the expense of Wales.

    It's not the same quote

    They have sold more Rally2 cars than all others together

    and also more than others have sold much cheaper Rally4 cars

    It´s stll crazy that their biggest customer is Printsport from Finland.
