Ireland’s bid to rejoin the WRC in 2025 halted
Ireland submitted a bid to host the WRC for three years starting in 2025, aiming to bring the championship back to the country after a decade. Motorsport Ireland had a plan to rotate the rally through three locations if they secured the contract. Despite the concept being approved by WRC Promoter, the bid depended on receiving €15 million in funding from the Irish government. Estimated to generate €300 million for the economy, the funding grant did not come through within the required time frame. Motorsport Ireland announced the unfortunate news that Ireland will not host a round of the FIA World Rally Championship in 2025 due to delays in government decision-making.
