April 2/3 Circuit of Ireland now cancelled too. :(
Not a surprise at all. It’s probably only a matter of time before the Corbeau Rally gets cancelled too. Is there space in the schedule to squeeze the Ulster back in?
Malton Forest Rally and Grizedale Stages might go ahead, anything earlier in the year than that is wishful thinking
So 3 rounds have gone; do/can they find alternatives, later in the year? Then there is the problem of getting events, and a pile up of events later in the year. All assuming the forests are available for use. Might be better to already plan for 2022.
New calendar coming tomorrow...
I doubt it’ll be anything more than just confirming Mull takes its place in the calendar as it was the reserve event
Ulster Rally in November added to calendar. https://www.britishrallychampionship...ship-calendar/
2021 Motorsport UK British Rally Championship Calendar:
Round 1 – Nicky Grist Stages, Builth Wells – 10 July
Round 2 – Grampian Forest Stages, Banchory – 14 August
Round 3 – Trackrod Rally Yorkshire, Scarborough – 24/25 September
Round 4 – Beatson’s Building Supplies Mull Rally, Isle of Mull – 8-10 October
Round 5 – Visit Conwy Cambrian Rally, Llandudno – 30 October
Round 6 – Today’s Ulster Rally, Newry – 20 November
Isle of Man is said to be too expensive for competitors, but Mull isn't...? I can't imagine many places more awkward to spectate than there, but I know it's a well regarded rally. Though IIRC, substantially different in character, some say watered down, as of this year.
Nice choice of gravel rounds. Ulster in November will be interesting/wet!
