The China Rally was dropped from the calendar in April, having failed to find a new sponsor to take over from British American Tobacco. The national governmen🌄t could not be persuaded to bale the event out, and rally organisers decided that they had no alternative but to withdraw from the schedule.
Although no replacement was initially sought to cover for the loss, t🧜he FIA has now bowed to a proposal from the Ra꧅lly Commission to allow Cyprus to step in.
A fax🦩 vote from members of the World Motor Sport Council confirmed the replacement's inclusion as round ten of the series. The Cypr♔us Rally will take place between 7-10 September 2000.
