Cracking America can be a gamechanger for any business, which is why the advancement of plans for the USA to join the World Rally Championship in 2024 is significant. The WRC has targeted a round in the USA since 2018 and it appears those plans have taken a significant step forward following last week’s announcement that Chattanooga in Tennessee will host a demonstration event from 7-8 April. A possible test rally, to be evaluated by the FIA and WRC, is expected to occur in September.
Should these events be deemed a success, then Rally USA could secure one of two calendar spots earmarked for the Americas for next year, with last weekend’s Rally Mexico most likely to miss out given it only held a one-year deal for 2023 and Chile already has signed a multi-year agreement.
