So, no Cronin this year? Anyone know why the "small" cars are top seeded?
I assume it's to do with the BRC rules, i.e BRC say only s2000, R2 etc. but still run at the top of the order.
Dont start me off about Cronin, its bloody unbelieveable that a talent like that cannot find the budget for a driver :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:Quote:

Yeah the tail end of the BRC lot shirley won't be that quick? Mind you I think that Wug Utting is in the first 5 of the National field and he's usually fairly far down the order.
Yep being a BRC round then all BRC competitors will have prioity on the stages, so running at the front of the field.
Personally looking at the BRC over the last 10 years or so, then i think its a big mistake by Sunseeker to go BRC.
I stoped paying any intrest in BRC when they banned WRC cars. The F2 cars and Maxi kit cars were okish, Mark Higgins Astra etc, but that did not last long.
The problem with the Sunseeker being in the BRC - is there is no ANCRO series anymore - so what series could they go to? The BRC is meant to be the premier series and shop window of the sport. Yet, it most definately isn't. Little FWD shopping trolleys at the front of the field - not a great advert for the sport is it?Quote:

And the fact that the Malcolm Wilson rally is only the week after which is the 2nd round of the BTRDA championship.Quote:
