Exactly!! The 'customer' actually wants to take part in these championships - they are providing 'value for money'. The BRC doesn't. And, people aren't entering. The F2 days was the last great era of the BRC - so, 15 years ago. When we had Manufacturer entries from Renault, Seat, VW, Vauxhall, Proton, Peugeot......
It will be interesting to see who gets the tender; the current promoters have again put in a bid. Are the MSA really behind rallying - I get the feeling they'd prefer people racing on circuits.
A new promoter with a new plan is what is needed; what those plans are is anybody's guess. However, R2/3 cars is not the answer.
Is there a better sound than that of Porsche engined Flat-6 ???

The problem with BRC is that it needs to do too much to suit too many people. It's not easy coming up with a format that produces the cars fans want to see, at a price that competitors can afford and young drivers can use as a proving ground to get into the WRC...of course that opens up a whole new debate over whether it's even feasible these days for a young driver to get in to the WRC without paying their own way.
Fans want exciting cars (which I think we can all agree does not come from the current format or the Group N format we had previously) but they simply aren't cheap. They also need to live up to quite a lot, especially when you consider that a big portion of the field in the MSA Asphalt championship are running WRCs or Escorts/Darriens with Ł20k Millington engines and sequential boxes.You're so beige, you probably think this signature is about someone else.

As expected, it's a battle between Osian Pryce and Daniel McKenna
Are Raftery's times correct in SS3 Being less than 5" slower than Pryce and in a Fiesta R2 makes me wonder if it is...

Whoever gets it has a lot of work to do. When motorsport websites don't even bother reporting it you know you're in trouble.

Anyone know when we're supposed to hear anything from the MSA? I know that the submission deadline was mid-April but when are they making a decision? I suppose it's up to them whether to announce it in June or September or whenever but you'd hope the announcement would be made in good time to allow everyone involved in the BRC to adjust to any changes.

According to this week's issue of Motorsport News the MSA will announce it before the end of this month
Hi, anyone have experience with this route https://mapy.cz/s/bedudugeme from Oschiri to Monte Lerno stage - hairpin on 17km from start? If it´s doable by normal car? Thanks.
