The promoter's reaction after the World Council

As is the case in other motorsport disciplines, the FIA ​​sets the sporting and technical rules and then delegates the organization of its championships to promoters. WRC Promoter is responsible for the WRC and in recent months he has suffered a lot of criticism. It all became the promoter’s fault. If this is sometimes justified, it also happens that the latter is forced to deal with the rules put in place. During the rally from Sweden, the main request from the promoter's managers was to have stability in order to be able to build something in the long term. It is difficult to say whether the announcements made by the World Council regarding technical regulations or whether the format changes are in this direction. In particular, it will be necessary to observe the promoter's next actions to attract the new audience that the FIA ​​wishes to conquer.

« The World Motor Sport Council has made positive proposals which are the result of intensive discussions and which are in our favor, said Jona Siebel, director of WRC Promoter. As the exclusive promoter of the World Rally Championship appointed by the FIA, we encourage the proposed objectives to enable us to continue to develop the sport with all stakeholders. »
