Chris Ingram:

Dear Rally fans and my loyal supporters,
I wanted to share my plans for the rest of the season and clarify why I haven't been out competing recently. I received incredible support ahead of Rallye Monte Carlo from my supporters via my crowdfunding army and again finished the 1st full privateer driver in the rally.
However in Monte Carlo, It became evident that the older Skoda WRC2 car was no match for the latest version. Unfortunately, I couldn't secure a deal with Toksport to compete in Portugal and Sardinia using the new car. They already have seven cars running, and the cost per event was simply not feasible for my current limited budget.
I have taken a step back to focus on making solid foundations for my career by working on fundraising, promoting my driver training and launching the Rally Warrior Experience in the UK, France, and Belgium.
The plan for the rest of the season is to build back up to WRC.
I have decided to enter the Ypres Rally with Wevers Sport in the highly succesful VW Polo GTI R5. The event will be intergrated with a Rally Warrior Experience day beforehand where you can have the chance to ride with me flat out on some iconic rally stages. I will also offer one lucky supporter of my crowdfunding army a ride in the car, as I did at my Rally Experience in Wales back in April.
If everything goes well, my plan is to then participate in the European Rally Championship in either Rally di Roma or the Czech Barum Rally before returning to the WRC towards the end of the season for the brand new Rally Central Europe. I feel these events will provide me with a platform to prepare for a full attack and full season in the World Rally Championship in 2024 with manufacturer support.
Recently, I had the pleasure of meeting a legendary British racing driver, who has been incredibly generous and has facilitated some key introductions, including some at the F1 Monaco GP this weekend!
I hope to have some more positive news in the near future.
Thank you for your amazing support and I hope to see many of you in Belgium!
Chris

Promotér by měl v příštím roce nejraději 14 závodů. Měla by se do kalendáře dostat Liepaja (namísto Estonska), pokud seženou peníze. Jako závod navíc se nejvíc hovoří o bohaté (a přes prezidenta FIA politicky tlačené) Saudské Arábii, závodě v Americe a pořád se pokouší o nemožné i v Severním Irsku. Naopak otazník nadále visí nad Mexikem a Chorvatskem.

Můžu se zeptat proč je Chorvatsko pod otazníkem?
Je to z důvodu financí, nebo díky té letošní rvačce na tom skoku, nebo díky tomu že se jede Central Europien rally, tak aby nebyly dva asfaltové závody ve střední Evropě ?

Je pod otazníkem, protože nemají smlouvu. Upřímně, Chorvatsko se do MS dostalo za dob Todta díky velkému politickému vlivu při jeho poslední volbě prezidentem, tento tlak již zmizel, protože současné vedení podporuje jiné koně. Navíc sami organizátoři mají problémy s financemi, dost hlasitě se hovoří o odchodu ze Záhřebu do lokalit, kde by získali větší (hlavně finanční) podporu. Jak je v této době zvykem, za vším hledej politiku a peníze...
