Turkey gets a World Rally fixture
Turkey has been chosen to host one of the 14 rounds of the FIA World Rally Championship in 2003.
The Turks have been trying hard for a major motorsport event in recent months but the recent announcement that Bahrain has landed a Grand Prix deal means that there is very little chance that Turkey will be able to get a slot in the F1 calendar in the near future.
The rally will be a useful source of consolation...
