"The WRC promoter wants to come to Gran Canaria to run the Rally Islas Canarias".

The new sports councillor of the Goverment of Gran Canaria, Aridany Romero, explained in the programme "Ser Deportivos", when asked about the situation of the Rally Islas Canarias, that "the budget is important and we are talking" so that it can be valid for the World Rally Championship.

"We are convinced that we can have the WRC in Gran Canaria, but we have to meet with all the institutions because the budget is important, more than double the cost of the European Rally Championship - we are talking about an amount that exceeds the option of having "La Vuelta Ciclista a España" in the Canary Islands in 2026," he said.

Despite this, "The Goverment of Gran Canaria cannot assume it in its entirety and that is why we are talking to the other institutions, because otherwise it would be unfeasible".

He acknowledged that "negotiations with the WRC promoter are at an advanced stage and one of the options to reduce costs is that instead of having the WRC for just one season, it would be two in a row. The important thing is that the WRC promoter wants to come to Gran Canaria to run the Rally Islas Canarias for its fans, its roads ... Canarias is at the level of the best and we do not have to feel less than anyone. The fact that all the goodness of our rally is recognised gives us an enormous pride."

Why, because you said so?

Canary Islands, and specifically Gran Canaria, has the best rally fans in Spain, and has even won awards for it.

For many years the island of Gran Canaria has deserved to host a WRC rally. Now is the time.

The organizers have proven to be able to host a ERC rally for many years ago.
