When any championship decides to have a round/event at a place where their competitors might be at risk just by, well, being alive. That's what happens.
What an image to send to youngsters as well. Rally, an inclusive sport, open for anyone. Just not WRC, or at least, if you happen to have a boyfriend as a male driver, don't bring him to that event, and if you must. Don't hold hands or anything. Refrain from emotions if you win. Meh.

So, if a male driver has a female co-driver that isn't his wife, does her father or brother have to ride in the back with the spare wheels?

It wasnt possible in the timeframe, but that means it wasnt actually refused.
IMO there is a much better chance of success in the Rep of Ireland than there was in N.Ireland which had no proper Govt as well as a very tight budget.
And even if there is a wealthy benefactor for some drivers there, MI Rally Academy is still helping and much so than UK Motorsport ever does.

May I ask, who is this mystery Mr Rich?
Never stop dreaming because one day it might happen.

It's no mystery, it's well known that John has funded the Billy Coleman award and also the Academy and still does, which i think is a great credit to all involved.

As for the Rally Ireland episode now that's a whole different scenario, but at least they are trying which is a lot more than can be said for the MSALast edited by satnav; 11th June 2024 at 19:38. Reason: Some links

Yes, I know that they say LGBT-tourists are welcome. It also is noted that Saudi Arabia has some of the strictest anti-LGBTQ+ laws in the world, where same-sex sexual acts and identifying as LGBTQ+ are punishable by death, lifetime prison sentences, flogging, and chemical castration.
That's not a place I would spend any money in. I've lost friends due to not feeling accepted, I know of racers that doesn't want to be honest, as they fear it will end their career. I cannot look at that, and with a good conscience pretend it's all fine because they would like my money.

Maybe. But I'm sure he'd prefer to keep Fourmaux and be more competitive in WRC next year than be starting over again with another young driver...
