YPRES WINS WRC SLOT

Belgium’s Ypres Rally has filled the final slot on this year’s World Rally Championship calendar. Since the Rally Northern Ireland project fell by the wayside for 2022, Ypres’s bid for a second year was up against the Czech Republic’s Rally Zlin, but the Belgians won the race for the vacant 18-21 August date. WRC chiefs say that the door remains open for Zlin in future.
