'Rally Germany didn’t have the capital behind it to return to the WRC on its own...
“During the long history of Rally Deutschland which started in 2002, ADAC was always operating with partners,” explained ADAC sports president, Dr Gerd Ennser.
“During that time it was mainly big sponsors or ADAC regional clubs. Then after the COVID break in 2020 and 2021 we started again to look for partners and it turned out that things changed, sometimes it was really difficult to get big sponsors.
As you know in Germany there is no financial support from government. We talked to ADAC regional clubs which supported us before and we learned it would be a bit difficult.'
Nah, combine the Riponian, Trackrod (remote tyre service in Pickering), the Malcolm Wilson and the Scottish with the service park in Penrith and a stage at Stang on the way over from Yorkshire to the overnight halt and you’ve got yourself a Rally GB from 3-4 existing clubman events combined :D
I know this is all hypothetical but isn’t Hamsterley just as unlikely as Stang? Tour of Hamsterley last ran 7 years ago and it was only another 5 since it last used a stage at Stang
