Tried for a few minutes to work out what is happening here in the battle. My head now hurts. Too complicated IMO.

Shame to see Pryce and McCormack DNS on the Manx. MN today saying Pryce has hit some budget problems and a few other unspecified issues for pulling the entry. Both guys technically had outside title...

The big news today is that Wales Rally GB will become the final round of the championship next year. It will be a double points round. As a result of the extra cost they will drop down to six...

I think it's so vague that it's really not worth worrying about yet.

It's another situation where Mahonen speaks to David Evans about a half-baked thought he's had before anything is really sorted...

Thanks Martin. Seven round championship though right? What's the eighth score?

Remind me guys is there a drop score in the BRC championship this year?

The field certainly thinned out significantly for this round. I think the tight turnaround with Ypres is something they'll...

Anyone know what happened on SS14? Looks like basically everyone given the same time. BRC crew clearly struggling for info too in terms of social media.

I think we are just waiting on Rhys Yates and Matt Edwards for this to be confirmed. A lot of juniors entered too which is good.

Makes sense to gauge the popularity/success of the event before signing any long-term deal.

I'm definitely encouraged by the amount of BRC entries so far. Pretty much all the big names already...

Every time an i20 pops up on an entry list it seems to disappear. Happened twice already this year in WRC2.

Brynildsen will be a nice benchmark for a few of the BRC regulars. I'd assume he'll be the only guest guy on the rally but let's see. Maybe M-Sport will throw Matthew into the mix again.

Aargh it's already happening! David Bogie in MN today saying he will re-evaluate the BRC after the Scottish and only continue if he feels he's in title contention.

Gus Greensmith supplemented his WRC outings with some BRC rounds last year. I wonder if he'll do so again to get a bit more R5 seat time. Would also be interesting to see his pace compared to the...

The grass always looks greener on the other side. I know a few Irish guys looking longingly at the amount of competition in the BRC. Would be interested to know what the Belgians, Finns, Italians,...

Bodes very well does that. All those different stage winners. Five of the stage wins taken by less than a second too.

Just makes me wish the events were longer with this level of competition. Less...

Will be interesting this year. Quickest guys through a stage are probably Bogie and Ahlin. Both are quite erratic and error-prone though. If Cave can put a full season programme together his...

Confirmed puncture for Cronin on SS3 which is why he lost time. Such an unlucky driver. Shame too that Pryce got one last night.

Four stage winners in the first four stages. Close competition as...

At Mid Wales last year the top R5s came through in fairly much seed order on the Saturday morning. Couple of the Mirages interspersed, and then after that it was basically pick a number between...

That is another huge boost for the championship! Another title contender in the mix. Genuinely no idea who will win Border Counties!

I still struggle with the fact that he won the Dmack Trophy and...

Apparently another big BRC announcement tied to MN tomorrow so I'd guess it's the Spencer plans. Let's see. Still don't believe they can enter the full BRC with the Mirages though?

For sure. A quick scan shows 21 RC2 cars at round 1 last year compared to 13 this year. But I maintain it will be a more interesting season.

Here's the full seeded entry list: https://www.rallies.info/webentry/2017/bordercounties/entries.php?type=s&combined=1


I was expecting another 'works' Vauxhall ADAM but it doesn't seem to have...

Good day at the Malcolm Wilson. Nice test for a lot of the BRC guys. Managed to get to three stages. Bogie so sideways and committed everywhere.

Some pics here if anyone is interested:...

I guess if Cave is piecing together budget then Ypres might be one that he'd potentially skip.

Cool to see Bryn and the GT86 back out too this year -...

More variety for round 2 with Tom Cave bringing a Hyundai to the championship. Good news. Hopefully in the interim he can work on sourcing budget for the full championship -...
