2024 WRC News & Rumours

[Managarium]

���� PARAGUAY ➡️ WRC 2025
Paraguay will host a WRC event from 2025. Organizers have reached a three-year agreement to have a slot on the calendar until 2027.
The organizers have reached an economic agreement but the final details are missing to finalize:
•FIA emissaries will be sent to Paraguay to attend two races (one of which is the Trans Itapua Rally) which will be a “test” for the organizers in preparation for a WRC event.
•The FIA is conducting inspections to verify whether the healthcare and hotel capacities of the territories that will host the WRC race are sufficient.
The race proposed to the FIA is made up of 320 kilometers of special stages, will take place in Encarnación and will also take place in the areas of Cambyretá, Nueva Alborada, Santísima Trinidad, Colonias Unidas, Carmen del Paraná and General Arigas.
The Paraguayan event is expected to take the slot of the Rally Chile whose contract is due to expire at the end of the 2024 season.

Transchaco is a Safari-like rally, many Kms, rough, cars with snorkels and bumper protections... Trans Itapua is a more "regular" rally.

I know, just dreaming about not so `ordinary WRC round´...

Arguably the best news for Tänak was the feeling for the future.

“For myself,” he said, “I still need to make it work – but at least I see it’s not too far away. It’s more things we need to prepare better for [the next Tarmac event in] Croatia and for sure it was a good experience this weekend to do the mileage and understand the car.



“The car is definitely competitive. We will still have quite a few topics to discuss where I’d like to believe we can still improve quite a bit, but altogether I guess already, as a base, the job they’ve done last year is good. The car has been fine-tuned and it’s in a good window.”

The job Tänak has now is to clean that window to make it more useable, to make the car faster and faster. Being in the set-up ballpark is great, but those final details and percentages are where the stage wins, rally wins and championship wins come from.

He knows that. “If you are in a better window and more confident, you can start pushing a bit as well.”

And no sooner so I say the Tennessee event is fiction when a demonstration event is announced for June...

How to screw your driver and show that he doesn't matter a cent.
Sad for Evans as he has to fight for the title against own team's ,,half-ass-seasoners''.

Latvala:

''We have only Elfyn who can really go for the title, but we believe in a fair game and we want to have a fair fight between the drivers, so we don’t do any tactical changes.”

“The manufacturers’ championship, if you think about our driver line-up, we would have chances for that. It’s where I think we can really challenge. But going for the drivers’ title, the thing is that Elfyn has to be alone.”

Even if it so, then just don't say it out loud. Can't imagine how demotivating it is for Evans..

Ofc telling Kalle or Ogier to give away 1st place isn't a thing as that is the only reaaon they drive this year. Although this would also be a thing on let's say.. last 2 event or so.

Or maybe what he says out loud is to appease fans who can't tolerate team orders.
