Only F1 & MotoGP of the major motorsport series have a round in the UK; other series have opted not to come here for whatever reason (financial/Brexit, etc) Raising the money for the event is surely a challenge - as the sport has next to no mainstream exposure. Why would you back an event that is invisible? The days of the old RAC are long gone; a lot of the issues are self inflicted, but people like to blame everybody else.
Is there a better sound than that of Porsche engined Flat-6 ???

Leigo is near the Neeruti stage. Great to have a proper power stage!

I think with only 7 paid seats available in WRC1 it’s entirely necessary to allow former top-tier drivers into WRC2, and besides they provide a good benchmark for young drivers trying to work their way up through the ranks.
Regarding the Fiesta Rally2, it seems some people dispute how good it is, although it’s pretty quick on asphalt at least. They could do worse than to take Ostberg who although it’s sometimes hard to take his whining seriously does seem to have done a good job developing and driving the C3 Rally2.

M-Sport are in a tough position with being a producer of all classes of rally cars from Rally 5 to WRC and the new Rally 1.
Having good driver's to develop and prove all of them for sales, as well as the WRC team competing at the top level is not easy, or cheap.
