The FIA expects to announce the new World Rally Championship commercial rights holder within the next “couple of months” with an agreement “very close”, according to FIA Deputy President for Sport Malcolm Wilson.
The future promotion of the WRC has been a hot topic after it was first reported that the previous commercial rights holder WRC Promoter, owned energy drinks giant Red Bull and German investment company KW25 were gearing up for a sale in 2024. WRC Promoter GmbH acquired the commercial rights to the WRC in 2013.
