The WRC is working on including a desert rally event in the Middle East in the 2024 calendar after plans didn't come to fruition for next year.
The WRC had indicated earlier this year a desire to add a desert event in the region, which has been described by the championship’s event director Simon Larkin as a"missing piece" from the series schedule.
“In order to prepare a future event properly and to have sufficient time to realise this project together with all of our stakeholders, we are working very hard to have a WRC round in the Middle East in 2024.” Speaking following the release of the calendar, Larkin believes this new rally will prove to be a beneficial addition to the calendar for fans.“We have, through our European Rally Championship events, good experience with the Czech Republic.
Larkin also confirmed that the WRC won’t shut its door on Spain returning to the schedule in the future, adding: “Unfortunately demand is high. Spain was out of contract and there was an opportunity to go to a three-country rally and maintain a tarmac split in the championship. The statement read: “The RACC continues to work with the promoter so that the Rally Catalunya-Costa Daurada will once again be eligible for WRC in 2024. With the same rigour as always, in 2023 the RallyRACC will be eligible for other championships.”It appears the WRC could be moving a step closer to a potential move into the USA, with plans to host a test event expected to be confirmed soon.
