The younger Brits like Greensmith and Ingram (while he lasted) did well.

And driver's like Cave and Yates show we have some decent prospects coming up.

No doubt there are fast young Brits. Perhaps more now than ever. Greensmith, Ingram, Cave, Bogie, Pryce, but only one of them felt compelled and was able to raise a budget to do the BRC this year, and seemingly Bogie may not be interested next year.

More positively, just came across this video on the BBC Sport site. A short but really pretty comprehensive review of the conclusion of the BRC from Rally GB. Sounds like the BRC might have found a friend at BBC Northern Ireland? Good job. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/av/motorsport/45795413

Shall we wait a while b4 starting a 2019 BRC thread?!

Notice that Pete Smith is hoping to help Matt Edwards into the ERC or WRC2 next year. Wonder if the likes of Yates will follow him...

Edwards in WRC2 is a waste of money. Too old already. Yates has the right age, but better do ERC first and get consistent first.

I agree - if the funding is there then ERC is the way to go for Matt Edwards.

Matt Edwards sounds hopeful:
