2015 BRC promoter

I really hope that this VERY radical approach works

R2 certainly can't. You need 280hp to attract viewers.

Can somebody inform me why they need so much time to revamp the championship?and one more question because i don't have knowledge of things in the island.exept for the BRC what other options have the drives?i mean for this year and for the next one.please be specific in the answers because as i told i am irrelevant to things in the island.thanks in advance!

I don't follow the national series so much (except some high profile events such as Epynt) but I would say that there is enough crews competing in national series including lots of very expensive cars. Just check entry list of this years Epynt (part of national asphalt series): http://results.djames.org.uk/results...ntID=298&e=298

I imagine a good number of them will find their way to the BRTDA series: www.btrdarally.com Those who are junior drivers looking to take a step up the ladder who can afford it will probably move over to the JWRC or the DMACK Fiesta Trophy.

The BRC is way past its best now so the continuation of the series really doesn't matter now.

There's the BTRDA championship and MSA Asphalt Championship. Both generally have better and more interesting entries than the BRC. Plus entry fees are cheaper, you don't have to spend as much money to be competitive in your class and you have much freer reign on what car you can drive. It's more interesting for spectators too.

As Langdale says the BRC is past it, the MSA would be better off just putting their support behind the BTRDA and throwing in some of the tarmac events.

Any news about BRC 2015(program, rules, drivers programs,...) :confused:

For juniors should be the best (and cheapest) to go to JERC...

There will be no BRC in 2015.

My feeling is that it will return in 2016 with R5/S2000 cars as the premier class.
