He's had a couple of goes at WRC2 but the budget hasn't really been there or the car/team havent been quite good enough. This is why he ended up back in the BRC, with the right team and enough sponsorship for the season.

Toyota only have a customer programme, not a works team. MEM and Castrol plus his other sponsors would come up with a lot more money to get him into WRC2 and that's a big ask.

I missed this article as I don’t generally check out dirtfish anymore these days:

Question is, would be held on the first weekend of June as ‘Scottish Rally GB’ ? It seems we don’t get 40 degree summers anymore so it wouldn’t be yet another dust-fest!

I think it's all academic really. For the amount of money needed just for the hosting fee, it's just not worth the use of what will likely be public money. I've seen plenty of comments, and the naivety from many astounds me. I think most UK rally fans want the WRC back in the country, but for me it's not at any cost; the current WRC isn't worth the money.

If however, a private backer/ commercial sponsor thinks it's worth it, then good luck to them.
