WRC drops Rally Chile from calendar
Sebastien Loeb at Rally Chile in 2019
The FIA World Rally Championship has officially dropped Rally Chile from its calendar due to political unrest.
Organisers requested a cancellation in November, which has now been confirmed after a World Motor Sport Council e-vote last week.
The loss of the Chile event, originally scheduled for April 16-19, has triggered a second change with Rally Argentina being shifted forward a week to April 23-26.
That move has been made to ease the logistical burden of sending equipment from South America to Kenya for its return to the calendar on July 16-19.
The traditional season-opener of Rallye Monte-Carlo begins this Thursday night (local time).
