    This is very sad.

    Well, one can say that running a WRC is expensive and costs should be reduced, for sure. Then on the other hand a lot of money in the world is spend for other sports and automotive purposes, we just would need to reach skilful persons to steer these investments to WRC instead of other targets, simple as that

    Nascar series there used to be some rich old ladies as car / number owners and quite often they were happy just to give their support and join to post race celebrations, nothing more. No connection to any company or brand.

    It smells of money issues, because it seems like Formula E will still go ahead, and that's in the middle of Santiago!
    I think you hit the nails head with this one!

    Formula E is privately funded. Each round is.

    Rally Chile is backed by the government. Those funds have now been released and used to recover the country.

    Nothing fishy going on.

    Still not seen any official confirmation of this from the wrc or autosport, and autosport are still selling tickets whilst this is advertised as a show highlight on there website.

    Maybe Hyundai and m-sport still using the event?

    I wonder what's going on then? Strange that there are rumours about it. I would think it would be very dishonest of Autosport to keep plugging it, only to know it will not happen, but we'll see.
