The WRC is giving more time to organisers behind the 2024 Rally UK bid to help the country return to the calendar for the first time since 2019.
The World Rally Championship is willing to give organisers behind the United Kingdom’s bid for a 2024 round until the end of May to secure the necessary requirements.The UK has become a backbone of rallying’s top flight, appearing on the inaugural calendar in 1973 and holding a spot on the schedule until 2019 courtesy of Rally GB, formerly known as the RAC Rally.
A bid fronted by promoter Bobby Willis to bring the WRC back to the UK in Northern Ireland has made three attempts to join the calendar - in 2021, 2022 and 2023 - but was unable to secure the necessary funding, believed to be approximately £3 million. “Rallying in Ireland both sides of the border, they do massive events every couple of weeks with 150 cars. We are still working very strongly and hard as we can.”Motorsport UK CEO Hugh Chambers admits there are funding hurdles to overcome but says the organisation won’t “stop” until it can secure a WRC round back in the UK.
“People like MPs James Sutherland and Ian Paisley, there are a lot of people pushing really hard but it is massively frustrating that we can’t get this one across the line.
