    Rally Australia seems to be back in the mix but not before 2025, it won’t go back to NSW but to South Australia (SA), Rally Adelaide.
    Only you know your true potential.
    This year we rally #ForCraig

    I’d love to see this. I was in Adelaide a few weeks ago and drove up into the hills and the tarmac public roads are really nice, would make a good tarmac event. I didn’t realise about the Adelaide Rally until I saw the road closure signs, but couldn’t stay for the event. Bad timing for the trip to miss both rallies there!

    So at this point, Saudi Arabia is pushing to have a slot, the US are working on the event between Nashville and Atlanta, Spain is in the middle of an internal "fight" between Catalunya and Canary Island, plus now there's the bid of Australia-NZ most likely on a rotation basis.

    If the Promoter won't work on making the WRC sexy for sponsors that can help the teams out in sustaining this calendar, teams will give up. They desperately need partners like DHL and Aramco to pay these flyaway rallies! Someone in Munich needs to wake up asap.

    Are you sure the teams don't already get paid for these events?

    Even WRC2 teams get financial support for the fly away events. And they don't pay an entry fee like they have to for the European events.

    3000 euros on the entry list, plus (free or discounted) accomodation paid by the local event promoter is not that big deal, when you have to spend 100k to go racing in Mexico with a Rally2 car. There's need for a stronger support from the WRC Promoter itself. And I'm talking about the support Eurosport Events was providing to the teams in WTCC, paying the plane or the cargo for the teams to ship the equipment to Asia. That would be a very strong support for them.

    On previous seasons, I don't remember hearing that teams received support from promoter/FIA for logistical costs. It was common free entry fee and hotel costs (in some events).

    I'm definitely aware of WRC2 teams getting proper cash from promoter to attend long haul events...

    “We want more tarmac rallies!”

    “No, not like that!”

    If the world didn't suck, we'd all fall off!

    I attended The Australian Rally Champs event in Adelaide and it was the worst organised event I had ever been to. Primarily based around a racing circuit, 4 or 6 actual country/rally stages which 1.5 ran and the rest cancelled due to "rain" and a goat track x2 set of stages next to the race track ran... but again "rain" cancelled. So, the event consisted of tarmac stages on a V8 Supercar race track and a go-cart track.

    You didn't miss much. The event was organised and run by the people who let the ARC use their race track, so you know... when it rains on a racetrack, the organisers yellow flag everything... cancelled stages. It was a hot mess. The clerk of course I believe got fired.
