2nd place for Matt Edwards on his 2023 'comeback' in the Irish National Championship Midland Moto Stages.
A great result in the Fiesta beating of both the Moffett's (i20s) and just 10s behind the Polo of Devine.

The BRC really ought not to be catering for those who are only prepared to do a 45 mile rally, it’s meant to be the top rung of the sport in this country.Quote:

It’s not easy, but still not impossible to add value to those pro/semi-pro competitors who fancy the challenge of British forests and lanes. MSUK’s stance appears to be ‘we’ll make an effort to edge slightly away from clubman-level events and hope that the competitors and sponsors take a leap of faith on the BRC so we don’t have to put the real hard work in to make this a credible domestic championship again’
Having heard of some quite disturbing behaviour at a BTRDA awards evening a few years back, I hope he is having a quite miserable future ahead of him. Dickhead.Quote:

As I said earlier, for a BRC round, it's not spectator friendly; they should be trying to reduce traffic on the local roads, and run some spectator stages twice.
A very happy man !Quote:

Reading further down this article on Kieth Cronin it appears Adrien Fourmaux is doing the championship, just nobody is sure how many rounds he’ll do:

Snowy weather forecast this week for Cumbria ! :uhoh:
I can see it being cancelled already as with snow Thurs/Fri it’ll all be ice by Saturday. All depends what FC decides.
