The FIA expects to announce the new World Rally Championship commercial rights holder within the next “couple of months” with an agreement “very close”, according to FIA deputy president Malcolm Wilson.

This was posted today two hours ago regarding new promotor for WRC. Wilson says that they identified one who can be the right for this sport. But when you read the whole article it seems that they don't have any offer at all. Or bad ones, I think. and also it would be revelaed in a qouple of months. Right.

Just when they announced few weeks ago that they will finally tell the world they made a deal. I think it will not be clear for some time if ever. Just blank promises all the time. Like the politicians.

“One of the things I have specified is we need the promoter to be very close to Geneva or even be based in the FIA certainly in the short-term future, because we have to work together to grow the sport. They will have ideas, and we need some fresh eyes, and we have to be open-minded.”

This doesn’t sound good.

How did WRX go with more FIA control…..?
