WRC Calendar 2023

[meh]

In Estonian media there is no news about this or even if they will organize it next year. The situation is still the same that they received an offer for next year or make the full commitment until 2026. As I understood there is no other option (to go year by year). They are waiting for a decision from the government, if they can support it or not.

To be fair, I personally can't see that the government would support this event. We have the highest inflation in the EU and teachers, rescue workers, police etc need salary raise otherwise they will run out of people; also the cost of gas and electricity is out of the roof. Really hard to justify if we are organizing the event but can't find money to deal with real things. I really hope that we can still do it but I would understand if we have more important topics.

I'm not that pessimistic. Even local far-right guys (as they were in government at that time) understood that supporting Rally Estonia bring other way all the money back. And this was even during corona time. It's not just giving money away, it's investment.
