Worrying drop in entries needs addressing. 2WD Class and Historics need better road order and conditions to avoid damage.

Further evidence of the sport in the UK; 20 R5 cars is just a pipe dream....
I have no idea what the solution is though.
4 R5 cars at this stage is a bit of a joke. All the promise and excitement of a glorious new BRC era seems to have disappeared in just two years...
It's seriously depressing; I've seen the entry lists (so far) for BTCC, BSB, British GT - and they're all looking good. So, what is wrong with the sport of rallying that it just can't attract entries?
Slightly off topic, but still relevant, the Mid Wales Stages will run on Sunday 4th March, despite being under the 'break even' number; there are 5 events that weekend. Why?? Utter madness.....
The sport needs a massive overhaul....too many events chasing too few entries.
BRC1 entries gone from 13 last year down to 5 on the Border Counties... :(

That's what happens when you pitch your championship as a stepping stone. People only stay for a year or two & then leave. If they're really lucky they go on to better things but most don't & give up. The more that give up without progressing the less appealing the championship becomes to other hopefuls and it withers & dies. They need to build the BRC into a series that is an end in itself and is attractive enough for people to keep coming back. If they do that the competition will improve and it will become a stepping stone for the few who want to progress as the competition will be there for them to prove themselves.
Malcolm Wilson rally postponed. Was supposed to be a big pre-season test for the BRC runners.
Now whether to make the trip up to a one-day Border Counties...
I can't find the live results page of the Border Counties Rally that should have started right now :confused:
