This article explains the situation with Cyprus.
https://cyprus-mail.com/2022/07/21/l...-and-criminal/
The Cyprus Automobile Association on Thursday branded the finance ministry’s refusal to underwrite the holding of the Cyprus Rally over the next four years at WRC/ERC levels as “unreasonable and criminal”.
But CAA president Antonis Michaelides said the offer from the FIA – the governing body of motor sport — still stood for 2023-2025 and expressed the hope that the government to emerge from the February 2023 elections will reconsider.
Under the proposal, the Cyprus Rally 2023 would be held as part of the MERC (Middle East Rally Championship) or ERC (European Rally Championship) and those of 2024 and 2025 at WRC (World Rally Championship) level.
Michaelides said he also had an informal chat with Disy’s president who told him that “the minister is unpersuadable.”
So, with this government there is NO WAY for a WRC Rally Cyprus. If there is a new government in February 2023, we shall see.Last edited by bomber21; 5th August 2022 at 12:32.
