A few years ago, there was a lot of talk about a possible World Rally Championship in the U.S., only for nothing to come of it. Now the FIA is dangling that carrot in front of us again, with the announcement of a WRC candidate event to run this June.
Keen observers will note that these dates directly overlap with the Southern Ohio Performance Rally, the fourth round of this year’s American Rally Association championship. At first, this may seem like quite an oversight, since the U.S. rally community will be focused there. However, the overlap is not a bug, but a feature.
