    Another one gone...

    Sam Moffett will not start tomorrow’s Ulster Rally due to work commitments. He will take the Ulster as his dropped score and hope for a strong performance in Cork to try and retain his #ITRC title https://t.co/FHm2geraE1

    It’s another reality check for the sport in the UK – but I’m not sure what the answer is. Sadly, the sport is invisible here; but this has been happening for the last 10+ years, and nothing has really been done to address it.

    Both the BTCC & BRC are celebrating 60 years; there’s been plenty of BTCC commemoration, the BRC has been almost silent.
    Indeed, and for as long as the series is invisible it won't be popular for TV/fans so won't get the sponsors. It's a shame, I genuinely had high hopes when the BRC came back.
    You're so beige, you probably think this signature is about someone else.

    Channel 4 in particular have done the BRC no favours at all with their coverage.

    Who is going to notice it at stupid o'clock in the morning ???

    Even rally fans probably dont watch unless they remember to record it.

    Been the same for as long as I can remember, the BRC coverage tucked away at 7am on a Saturday morning and not repeated.

    And the sad truth is it doesn't warrant another time slot. Not enough watch to put it on at a better time....
    Twenty years ago there was highlights on TopGear Motorsport....followed by a few years on Channel 4 at 11:00 in the morning, as I've still got the highlights on video...

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

    Self-fulfilling, ain't it. Not enough people watch so it's got a duff spot, so people don't know about and don't bother watching. But it's not exactly the most exciting series or best coverage to attract people either, I think the last event I watched was the Nicky Grist last year, and that was only because I'd been there.

    Showing the highlights a week later isnt going to cut it anyway, especially with younger people these days.

    They need them at least the same evening, or better still some live streaming.

    I was just reading that David Bogie has admitted he is considering an ITRC challenge in 2019.

    “It depends what the British Championship calendar is. It’s an option to go to Ireland for the Tarmac Championship in the Skoda or do the British Championship again.
    We’ll hang on to see what the BRC rounds are for next year before making a decision but Ireland has become a possibility.”

    He is one of the BRC stalwarts and if he goes the series really is looking grim for next year.
