The FIA says it will decide by mid-September whether the World Rally Championship season finale in Saudi Arabia can go ahead as planned. The governing body is continuing to monitor developments in the Middle East before confirming the event's status.
Saudi Arabia is currently scheduled to host the final round of the WRC season, but the situation remains under review. The FIA's timeline gives teams, organizers and the championship a clearer window for when a final call is expected.
The update reflects the wider uncertainty around sporting events in the region when conditions are changing quickly. By setting a deadline, the FIA appears to be balancing the need for caution with the practical demands of planning a world championship event.
Until that mid-September decision arrives, the Saudi Arabia rally remains on the calendar. The focus now is on whether the FIA's ongoing assessment of regional events will allow the WRC finale to proceed in its scheduled slot.
