[WRC] News & Rumours (part V) 2017

The event needs a rethink - but is unlikely to get one whilst the MSA/IMS keep going to the highest bidder, i;e the Welsh money. The event hasn't visited 'killer' Kielder since 1995, Yorkshire since 1993.....ignoring other regions of the UK is pretty poor.
The Tour of Britain cycle race is a good example of how to do it; visit different regions/ areas over several years so lots of people get a chance to see the event. And unsurprisingly which sport/ event has a greater pull and mainstream media coverage....

Well, cycling has Sky pouring millions into it. Plus 2 of the top cyclists in the world in Froome and Wiggins. The same cannot be said about rally currently. Probably the Boreham Ford/Prodrive Subaru and later Colin and Burns eras are comparable.
