    Talking of coverage; did anybody see the Otago Rally in NZ weekend before last? Live coverage on Facebook - That is what I'd like to see somebody do in the BRC.

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

    By reading most posts on this thread one may think the BRC is a walking dead series, but after checking the Pirelli entry list it seems that’s not quite the case.

    Don't you guys consider that 13 R5 cars, with 4 or 5 drivers probably able to fight for the win, and plenty of young crews in Junior/Cadet classes are hopeful signs for this season BRC?

    Btw, why aren’t all R5 cars seeded as BRC1 (some appears as RC2 or Class7)?

    In this case the data in the Championship column isn't completely accurate; for a more accurate version direct from the BRC Coordinator see http://results.djames.org.uk/results...ntID=527&m=110 which shows 30 BRC crews which is two down on 2017 for this event.

    Yeah there are maybe 8 BRC runners. Greer is entered but won't do Ypres eventhough it fits him well.. I expect in Ypres Cronin, Edwards, Bogie, Laffey, Yates, McCormack and Preston. And maybe the unknown Whyte and Kakad..

    Time to get ERC back in Ypres.. It's a pity though..

    The Championship has lost several top drivers from 2017 as Mousti pointed out... and as I said, they havent been replaced. This cant make one hopeful for the future.
    The series is still alive... but only just.

    It's not just the WRC; both British GT and BTCC have rounds this weekend.....and with the best will in the world, even they're much bigger than the BRC, and are more media savvy than the BRC.

    With live coverage of WRC, WRX, BTCC & F1, the Pirelli wont get a look-in...

    Cronin
    Had a good shakedown here in Kielder yesterday @PirelliRally . Phillip Case and his team have the Hyundai i20 perfectly set up, looking forward to getting to grips with the famous Kielder Forest stages . https://t.co/qb9arWiuTI
