Happy to see the ER Stages being a round of both the BRC and tarmac championships but just hope (and please take this in the manner its intended) that it doesnt cause issues with the event being too popular spectator wise.

Consistency on the calendar front; East Riding replaces NW as we knew, Ceredigion becomes one scoring round.

2025 Probite British Rally Championship calendar:

Round 1 – East Riding Stages Rally – Beverley – 23 February

Round 2 – Severn Valley Stages – Builth Wells – 12 April

Round 3 – Borders Competitions Jim Clark Rally – Duns – 23-24 May

Round 4 – Voyonic Grampian Forest Rally – Banchory – 8-9 August

Round 5 – JDS Machinery Rali Ceredigion – Aberystwyth – 5-7 September

Round 6 – Visit Conwy Cambrian Rally – Llandudno – 25 October

Chris Ingram gave a reply to criticism of the length of the rallies...

"I personally couldn’t afford to do the championship if the rallies were any longer. It’s decent value as it is and fairly achievable through sponsorship."

Osian Pryce seconded that.

Round 5 – JDS Machinery Rali Ceredigion – Aberystwyth – 5-7 September

so we know wales is on ERC 25, right?

Kielder Forest Rally taking a break for 2025

Shame to see it, but hopefully can come back stronger in the future.

edit:

Looks like it has been replaced with the Grizedale Stages Rally in Dec 2025. Definitely a worthy replacement!

The event formerly known as the Pirelli International Rally, part of the BRC and usually run in late April, sometimes May.

Not surprised the midges have been blamed they are brutal! Sadly another likely effect of climate warming.

Does that mean that the BTRDA may start and finish using the same stages? Potential for the weather to come into play as both the Wilson and Grizedale have been affected by snow in recent years.
