On 16 September it was announced that the 2024 DPM Manx Rally Championship has been declared 'null and void' after only three of the scheduled seven rounds took place.

In this extended interview, he explains the decision to scrap this year's event and its final round and assesses the long-term chances for the meeting going forward into next year
