    Going slightly off topic, but UK Off road motorsport is the poor relation, when compared to circuit racing.
    A big part of the reason for that is an awful lot of those within rallying don't understand/see the benefit in spending on promotion.

    I've customers in both sectors, circuit racing totally gets the whole image / fan engagement / speculate to accumulate angle. Bar a handful in rallying there's an inward looking attitude and any cost/time commitment outside of the actual car there's total disinterest.

    A good example is look where start venues for rallies are and the times thereof

    The closest we have come since is the amount of effort that Seat put in back in the F2 days, be it the big foam hands or the support around the JCMR with the promo bods and banners everywhere.
    I remember that well - the whole town embraced the event - that is what a National Championship should be like. Oh, and by the way that was 1999......we're now in 2018......

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

    Some events might arrange their own live radio or streams.

    At least the new TV company means no more Jon Desborough !

    Yep, and not one top name coming in to replace them.

    The only real change of interest is the switch to an i20 for Cronin.
