BRC to be two wheel drive only in 2012

[Mirek]

Would love to see a BMW 1 series coupe with R3T engine !!!

Turbo engines are not really suitable for RWD cars. Without anti-lag it's very difficult to drive them and even with it I don't think it's the best You can use. Naturally aspirated unit or a one with supercharger is for sure better for RWD.

Mirek, normally I look forward to read you posts, they seem well reasoned. Now this ^.....
When sized realistically power is early, and broad, and the whole point is to make it EASIER---more torque spread nicely is always easier than very peaky very high rpm n.a. motor (I build rally motors here in USA----have one one of out National Champignonskit for 2wd cars)

How can you say what you did?
And the way you say it it SEEMS that it could be misunderstood that you're say turbos are suitable for FWD, and again that seems confusing...

Too much Pils?

What I meant is the turbo lag, especially with high pressure turbochargers without ALS.

But on the other hand the drivers love driving RWD cars...... So maybe a cup will make them sell?

Time was, after all, when being British champion was an accolade in itself.

By that I assume you think it isn't any more?

clueless

Tom Cave will drive a Citroen DS3 R3! He'll also do some international events!

Desi Henry and Osian Pryce are on Rally Sunseeker 2012 entrylist with DS3 too

Sadly a very small entry for the first round of the championship.

What a change from what used to be a great event

[AndyRAC]

Hmm, not great is it? A shame, the move to the BRC so far hasn't worked. During the ANCRO years, it was a 'must see' event - and I always drove down from the NorthWest to watch. Didn't last year, and I doubt I will this year.
Problem is, without the old ANCRO series, where can it go?

[Mirek]

Obviously the problem isn't in cost of cars, although maybe some people will suggest to use only R1 next year...
