Thought that with all the announcements we'll might as well have a thread for it, so for starters, here's what we have so far, courtesy of dirtfish: https://dirtfish.com/rally/wrc/what-...lendar-so-far/

Well they did mention Latvia was for this year only:"Latvia is in a near-identical situation to Poland: it has also been elevated from the ERC after a long stint at continental level, where it was known as Rally Liepāja, and was announced as an addition to the WRC calendar only for 2024. But that’s as far as its WRC stay is locked in for as it stands." so it's only reasonable Estonia will comeback in 2025.

Well its like 1 and half years away and before that they have ERC. So no need for major announcements/advertising etc before 24' edition is concluded

I just realized the Central European Rally hasn't got a contract for next year, does this mean we'll get to see Rallye Deutschland back in the calendar? or do they not have the funds to run it by themselves like they did for 17 years?

I guess no. Is there any positive news or optimism about Germany is general?

I follow news about calendar rather regularly and didn't see anything about potential of Rally Deutschland coming back. If Central Europe will lose spot in calendar, Ireland seems to be most realistic replacement.

Funny how only asphalt events are always hanging on thread. But when it comes to random european gravel events, it's not a problem at all. I think that China should be on calendar as soon as possible. Their rising in automotive industry could be crucial. Or Malaysia (that could bring interest of maybe Proton). No they are rather focusing on USA (americans doesn't really care about this sport) and Saudi. Stupid money.

Maybe you're not paying enough attention to the rallying scene in the US. Similar things were said about F1 20 years ago, now they can't get enough of it.
