Thanks for all the comments, good to know people tuned in!
In relation to the above it’s one scenario I was getting at and very much the cycling Tour concept (which admittedly is over a ten day or so period) and indeed the BTCC concept more so. Centrally organized / promoted but with input locally at each round etc. That way there’s a uniform package to sell to those concerned.
You can go from superbly promoted and run events to superbly run but invisible promotion. The latter is what drives manufacturers , sponsors, fans etc away as you no doubt heard.
BTCC, British GT, British Historic Rally, British Hillclimb, Etc etc all promoted and managed independently …why does msuk want to run BRC themselves ?
I think we’re at a real cross roads where if it’s not sorted in 12 months it’ll wither away and that makes me incredibly sad but even moreso frustrated.

I like the idea of rallies being more 'events' and quite a few that aren't in the BRC do this.
The North West Stages is a good example - involving a town, college and local people to produce a real community event. It can be done !

Speaking of events, look at what they have over in Donegal. Three days and 187 stage miles and drivers desperate to win it. Even Dirtfish are covering it...

Now that's what you call a rally EVENT !

I can’t quite believe there is a domestic rally these days going at WRC levels of stage KMs, mind boggling!

Yes, but it's good to see, proper mileage for an event. That WRC events barely make 200 miles is another matter.....
Is there a better sound than that of Porsche engined Flat-6 ???

The maps for the Nicky Grist are up already, I’m assuming this means it’s not ‘no spectators allowed’ again this year???

Looks like two locations; Crychan & Halfway.....but no access to Route 60 like there usually is for this event, as they're not using that part of the stage.Last edited by AndyRAC; 4th July 2022 at 21:00.

I can recommend downloading the Sportity app, and any info that is added pops up in your notifications.
