It is quite important that this is an event that ticks all of the boxes and this is why we are taking our time. “The last thing we want to do is burn bridges in the biggest market in the world. “We don’t want to go there unless we can be sure there is going to be an event worthy of it,” he adds. There is still plenty to play out before the USA can secure a place on the 2024 WRC calendar however.

Such has been the desire for the WRC to move into the US, several locations were assessed before Chattanooga’s gravel roads emerged as the successful candidate for the USA’s 2024 bid. It is a good problem to have, but the USA has been a number one target for some time. The WRC is currently enjoying the luxurious position of having not enough calendar slots to cater for the countries wishing to be part of rallying’s top flight. “We see the US as an opportunity for manufacturers, partners and sponsors, the whole lot.” ![]() ![]() There is halo effect that can come from a brand rather than a model of car, and we see that in many motorsport championships.
