The FIA confirmed that Rally Saudi Arabia, scheduled for November 12-15, will not take place due to regional developments. The WRC season will now conclude with Rally Italia Sardegna on October 1-4.
The cancellation comes ahead of a final decision on Formula 1's Qatar and Abu Dhabi grands prix, currently scheduled for November 29 and December 6. Stefano Domenicali has indicated Imola could host the season finale if those races are cancelled.
