I do wonder how long it will continue - when you look at something like RallyLegend, it's not really comparable; sadly.

The BRC 60th Anniversary is being 'celebrated' at the RallyDay at CastleCombe today......

Yes, that's not a problem; there used to be RSAC Scottish Rally, Vauxhall Rally of Wales and the Pirelli International Rally.

I think an issue may have been trying to get events interested in...

All good events - so, in theory, should be a good championship. However, 3 'away' events isn't going to be good from a cost point of view.

It's been interesting to watch both view points on YouTube; agree with the previous post, it is quite a big story, and almost eye opening to see the discussions of the sport on a news programme.
...

Maybe the majority of British competitors are quite happy with those events, and don't want the extra cost/ hassle of the BRC. There has to come a point when those in charge have to face the reality...

Maybe it's about time there were one set of organisers for BRC level events? I;e IMS do everything, organise, promote, etc with help from local volunteers.....

They were unable to secure the Road Closure Order.....but that never seems to be a problem for the TT and Classic TT/ Manx GP. Anybody else think it's slightly strange??

Yes, why not - just for fun....... ;)

Not a bad article actually - and agree with the spectator experience; which is totally opposite to the 'Elfyn/Ari SAYS' posters.....

I'd never heard of Prestone before the BRC sponsorship - and I...

The common factor is IMS; I don't think they are particularly good as promoters. BRC is poor again, and even Rally of GB isn't as successful as it could/ should or needs to be.

There were signs up at least a month ago (if not longer) promoting the RedBull Driftshifters - and that the roads would be closed the whole weekend.

And not only that, at least 3-4 people in work...

And the sad truth is it doesn't warrant another time slot. Not enough watch to put it on at a better time....
Twenty years ago there was highlights on TopGear Motorsport....followed by a few years...

A shame that a multiple BRC champion has to pull the plug due to lack of sponsor/ budget. If he is struggling, then what hope anyone else?

It’s another reality check for the sport in the UK – but...

Can't comment, as I haven't watched the highlights yet. However, having them at 06:40 isn't likely to get great figures, most interested people will watch on 'catch up'.
Also, in this day and age,...

It's not just the WRC; both British GT and BTCC have rounds this weekend.....and with the best will in the world, even they're much bigger than the BRC, and are more media savvy than the BRC.

Talking of coverage; did anybody see the Otago Rally in NZ weekend before last? Live coverage on Facebook - That is what I'd like to see somebody do in the BRC.

No live radio coverage or streaming..?? It's only 2018....

I remember that well - the whole town embraced the event - that is what a National Championship should be like. Oh, and by the way that was 1999......we're now in 2018......

I don't blame anyone for going abroad for their sport; they seem to get better value for money.

Going slightly off topic, but UK Off road motorsport is the poor relation, when compared to circuit...

I haven't seen that story, but I can guess that maybe the importers in those countries are quite friendly to the sport, in regards to one make series.

Maybe they're getting confused with the BTCC, which is also celebrating 60 years.......

Blimey, reading that you'd think the BRC was in rude health.......it couldn't be further from the truth. Watching both BSB and British GT over the weekend, one couldn't help feeling a tad jealous;...

Both Malcolm Wilson & Border Counties now pulled.......not good, all the time and hard work by volunteers - gone! I'm particularly angry about the MW, as they had help from other events, and seemed...

Exactly! Which is what the other UK motorsport series are like - and they are a success. It should be showcase for the sport in the UK.
