Is anyone really surprised that Hyundai wants to have their own home event just like all other brands involved have?

they'll hardly make 1-2-3 at their home event atm. btw Ford doesn't have home event?!? where it should be - USA, Germany, or UK (Cumbria)?

What I don't understand is why a lot of people are scared about it.

because they are stuck in the past like old men waiting for Mr Death to come... and they are afraid of evolution and change... scared doggys that perish into the darkness and none remembers them.

I consider Wales Rally GB as a home event for Ford/M-Sport.

The fact with this rumor is that politics on the other side of the world have interest in hosting a WRC round. Not only the manufacturer. That is very very good, it shows the potential of the sport after a decade of crisis with two manufacturers and no will to invest and move on.

So, using your logic. Football would be played only in England by now, basket would be blasphemy outside USA. No way to play rugby outside anglosaxon countries...

So why does a country needs to have a rich rally history or any histroy at all to introduce a WRC event ??

Maybe not, but you might have to source an organisation to run it from somewhere else don't you think?
