Paraguay in contention to join 2025 WRC calendar
Earlier this year, a South American nation emerged as a potential host for the WRC in 2025, aiming to be part of a 14-round calendar that includes two events in the South America region. While discussions continue with Chile regarding a possible renewal, interest has also been expressed by Paraguay and Argentina, with the aim of selecting two out of three South American bids for next year’s schedule. This week, the WRC’s event director, Simon Larkin, met with the Paraguay president to discuss the country’s WRC bid. Although a final deal is pending, Paraguay remains among the championship’s prospective options for next year, with the potential for a test event and further negotiations. The 2025 WRC calendar may see a new look, including a return to Spain and a possible round in Saudi Arabia, with Ireland also in the running for a three-year deal starting next year, pending government funding.
