The last time the World Rally Championship held an event in the USA, George H.W. Bush was the President. Now, almost 40 years later, it might return. Later this year, it’ll roll into Tennessee and Kentucky to see just how realistic a WRC event on U.S. soil is.
Rather than running a traditional rally, FIA representatives will be assessing how rallying is already done in the U.S. The visit includes observing an American Rally Association (ARA) National Championship round. The Managing Director of the Southern Ohio Forest Rally confirmed to Carscoops that the WRC will visit their event in June. Then, they’ll tour proposed stages and infrastructure across Tennessee and Kentucky.
