Government Funding Required For Rally Ireland

0

Rally Ireland’s bid to join the World Rally Championship next year hinges on securing the required funding after the championship approved Motorsport Ireland’s rally concept.

Ireland is vying to secure a three-year contract to host the WRC, beginning from 2025, which aims to bring the championship back to the country for the first time since 2009.

Motorsport Ireland announced in January that it plans to rotate the rally through three locations; Waterford, Kerry and Limerick, across the three-year deal, should it secure the contract.

The event’s future now hinges on securing 15 million euros from the Irish government with an announcement anticipated to arrive next month. Should Ireland receive the green light, it is likely to join an expanded 14-event WRC calendar next year.
