    UK/Irish Top Dogs ?

    What should be done so the "Home of Motorsport" comes back as a force in rally ?

    It has been a while since Colin and Richard - what needs to be done to the championship structure to get back to former strength ?

    Actually, on TotalRally last night, Colin Clark went on a rant about this. Due to the Skoda UK drive going to Mikkelsen (quite rightly) what is being done to help the young drivers. And the non inclusion of IRC Rally Scotland in the BRC. There is a huge jump from BRC/SRC in a GpN car to IRC in a S2000. Something needs to be done, and very quickly!! Too many drivers have got stuck in the BRC for years and years....leading to nowhere.

    Is there a better sound than that of Porsche engined Flat-6 ???

    Keith Cronin who has just won the BRC for the second time is looking very much to be without a drive for 2011. So much for the BRC's ladder of opportunity...

    Is it just me who thinks that WRC cars should be allowed in the BRC (as a seperate class)?
    Please ignore ALL of the above....

    If they were perhaps there would be an age limit on them (perhaps no newer than say 2003) just like the SRC has implementedfor next year.

    Sounds to me like a closed shop, what have we got competing this year what have we got in the garage that maybe show its face this year............2003 that will not upset anyone.

    But what will happen when those boys with the 2003 wrc cars want to move on adjust the rules to suit............

    Or someone buys a super 2000 car 2011 spec will they turn him/her away..... if they are any threat to the closed shop forget get!!!!
    Yourside...My side....

    It's really depressing isn't it? A talent such as Cronin can't continue due to lack of funds......
    He isn't the first and sadly, he won't be the last BRC winner to struggle to move on.
