2024 WRC News & Rumours

Canary Islands join the calendar next season

I wonder if it'll come instead of Croatia (since they still need to renew their contract) or Ireland (which have yet to secure funding), assuming Saudi Arabia is the 14th event slot.

Nice to see this was correct and Rally Journal is a good source of info for the future...

It's nice addition to calendar but seems like future of Croatia in WRC is at risk.

Best way to handle it would be WRC/ERC rotation for those rallies and similar rotation for Poland, Estonia and Latvia.

With all due respect to Croatia, I think this will be a cooler event, and this is also proof the WRC can have island events, ehm Corsica, ehm.

Sardegna is doing rather well. Maybe difference is that stages aren't spread across whole island like it usually was in Tour De Corse.

Anyway, with so many decent canditates to host the rally in Europe, I think rotating spots with ERC is way to go for less iconic rallies.

Sardegna pays nicely, one of the only European events to survive covid-19 back in 2020.
