British Historics left with an even bigger issue losing two rounds already..
…and the BTRDA
Might have to be some discussions, about re-arranging calendars of various championships........Two events so far, might be more...
Yeah the Plains Rally is still possibly in danger from the wording of the statement. It sounds like everything up until the end of April is out the window, then they’ll reassess things. Access of course might be needed before the end of April for an event in May…

Autosport: Welsh forest rallying in turmoil

“At present, options for replacement events are being considered and it is believed that there is a particular need for the BRC to meet television commitments with an event on 12 April.”
Sounds like the options could be limited to the Manx Rally on the same weekend as the Severn Valley Rally was going to happen or the weekend after with the Circuit of Ireland. Realistically both ate unfavourable to the current BRC thinking of staying on the mainland, but what other options are there?
I've said before that the Severn Valley used to be late May/early June - and used forests further south. I don't know the reasoning for the move to April, or the move north........
Other sports would have postponed, and tried to re-arrange for later in the year - but UK rallying can't do this; for a number of reasons.
I think you’ve said it on this forum once for every competitive kilometre this rally tends to run Andy :D
I’m assuming a lot of it comes down to which forests are available and at which time of year. Didn’t it used to be similar forests to the NG stages and only about a month in between? There’s nothing else that annually runs through the Hafren/Sweet Lamb/Myherin complexes at any time of year now anyway since the demise of the Mid-Wales Stages and WRGB…
Why isn't entrylist Galway International Rally available yet :confused:
