    Surely it depends on whether you're in Tier 3? If so, then I'd probably say no.

    Is there a better sound than that of Porsche engined Flat-6 ???

    I've heard they will be serving substantial meals there so should be okay...

    Who knows what will happen in all seriousness.

    With its location is it likely more entrants are from the North ? If so most of it is in Tier 3 and travel only ok for work or study.

    Could this be considered work ?

    The Cambrian Rally slated for Spring 2021 has been put back and would be the closing BRC event...

    But... its reported that the BRC still needs a 'commercial partner' to run at all next year.

    This will be a pretty hard sell in these grim times.

    No surprise, all 'non Elite' permits have been pulled by Motorsport UK following advice from the DCMS. So, it seems only the BTCC will run. The Neil Howard at Oulton Park has been moved back to February.
    To be honest, the future is looking pretty bleak for the sport - with no forest events likely until the spring - and even that is being optimistic.

    Absolutely gutted by the news, as I have been looking forward to the British RX at Lydden this weekend.

    Bloody annoying as the lockdown should have been stepped up six weeks ago and, if they had done that, we'd likely have no cancellations now.

    Not really rally related, but another indication of rallying in the UK being the poor relation.

    I'm fascinated to see if/how MSUK will play a part in reviving rally. And I don't mean sending out masks to clubs...

    It really is hard to be optimistic about the future of rallying in the UK; even with the possibility of having the WRC Champion. It really has been decimated by Covid-19.
