It sounds great but . . . .
How much would the entry fees be (don't forget that if MSUK organise it there will be salaries to pay that current events don't pay)?
How many competitors would be interested in entering?
Without a significant sponsorship deal I doubt that it would be viable. Back in the golden years events could offer free entries & start money to significant entrants.
The RAC is a special case. It only happens once every two years, and it isn't a coincidence that that it takes place on the years that there isn't a Silver Fern rally. It lets the really wealthy historic competitors have an adventure every year - one in each hemisphere. It also lets those who aren't quite so well heeled save up for a couple of years between the events. It's rare so it's aspirational. BRC is seen as humdrum. It will need a special marketing effort to turn that attitude around, particularly in the eyes of those who think that BTRDA is a national championship rather that the club championship that it actually is.
This is not so important. This stage is only not to make a mistake and not to destroy the tyres. We will see tomorrow on proper stages.
