Australia has hasn't hosted a WRC rally since 2019. But the state of South Australia could bring the nation back on the WRC calendar in the coming years. Full story:
SA has emerged as a leading contender to host Rally Australia should it return to the WRC schedule.
That new home could be Adelaide, with the South Australian government thought to be one of two states in contact with WRC officials. That was in response to a question regarding an earlier bid to bring the WRC to Bathurst which was scuppered by COVID. "2025 is the target, not before," he said."We are being quite practical and rational given we have huge demand for slots on the calendar.
Talks with NZ officials about a return are continuing, though, with a rotation with Australian not out of the question."It is not like we can do it back-to-back so they would have to be split apart," said Larkin."And we have fixed contracts with Japan and we have a medium-term contract with Chile and long-term contract with Kenya."
The newly-elected SA government has recently reestablished the SA Motorsport Board, which includes former F1 race director Michael Masi as a board member.
