Paraguay in contention to join 2025 WRC calendar
Earlier this year, a South American nation emerged as a candidate to host the WRC for the 2025 calendar, aiming for a 14-round schedule with two events in the region. Current discussions revolve around a possible renewal of WRC’s deal with Chile, which expires this year, as well as interest from Paraguay and Argentina to feature in the schedule. This week, the WRC’s event director met with Paraguay’s president to discuss the country’s bid for hosting a WRC event. Although no deal has been reached yet, Larkin confirmed that Paraguay is being considered as one of the options for next year’s WRC calendar, alongside ongoing discussions with Argentina and Chile. Plans for the 2025 WRC calendar include returning to Spain and potentially having a round in Saudi Arabia, with Ireland also launching a bid for a three-year deal, pending government funding and decision.
