A decision on the UK's potential return to the WRC calendar in 2024 is expected to be made by the end of April.
The UK has been absent from the WRC schedule since Wales Rally GB in 2019 after the COVID-19 pandemic forced the cancellation of the 2020 event amid reduced funding from the Welsh government.
This week the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Motorsport, an informal group of members of UK parliament, met with senior representatives of the WRC, Motorsport UK, and the event promoter, as well as Tourism Northern Ireland and Events Northern Ireland to discuss plans to revive the bid for 2024. "The UK has a profound and lengthy history in rallying" said Bracknell MP, Co-Chair of the APPG and long-time competitor James Sunderland."Ministers have been supportive of a UK bid but we are at the stage where that must translate to some financial backing, and quickly.
