So maybe we'll see after all the WRC back in the UK for 2024, in NI (like in the attempts of last year & 2021).

As was Brexit, which is why I'd make a guess like that.

I've been hearing about a US round for years and I didn't hear anything new in the article. Ford does a booming business selling trucks; other than the Mustang Ford doesn't sell cars in the US/Canada. Or the Puma. If Ford spends wants to sponsor a US event it's because of a personal connection with Dirtfish or some Ford executives' monomania with rallying.
