Yep, so potentially the championship winner could end up in a car that is slower!
I think a much better prize would be a few selected international events as progression out of the BRC seems to be the main problem for drivers in this country.
Yeah, can't disagree. Cronin has disappeared, what is Bogie going to do next year? I know he's doing the IRC Rally Scotland, but only in a GpN Lancer - which will be lucky to make the top10 looking at the entry.Quote:

I was really disappointed to see that Bogie is in an Evo for IRC Scotland as it would have been a great chance to show what he could do after a brilliant year. I guess it just shows that rallying is sliding further and further off the radar in this country when nobody wants to take a chance and give him some money for an S2000 car.
And I must say that I have never heard of any of the individuals of whom you write. Largely my own fault, I know, but I simply can't bring myself to be interested any more. Are these people genuinely talented prospects?Quote:

Bogie has just won the BRC and the Scottish Championship this year, in the BRC he beat 2 S2000 Skodas which we know are much quicker than group n cars.
Thank you.
In this case, what exactly do people here think is required to make British rallying, if not great, then a damn sight better again?
That's the problem - how quick is Bogie??? We don't know, we think he's pretty quick, but he needs to be out in a S2000 on IRC events to show us. A GpN car is nowhere near good enough.
I went to the Trackrod, out of between 15-20 cars, only 3 were 4WD; Evans, Bogie & Barrable in the S2000 Skoda....
I'm sorry to say, you're probably right, Rallying is largely irrelevant to most of the country. Motorsport=F1......
How long have you got?
and not forgetting 2wd BTCC, maybe that is why BRC is going that way too just a thought.
