    2nd place for Matt Edwards on his 2023 'comeback' in the Irish National Championship Midland Moto Stages.

    A great result in the Fiesta beating of both the Moffett's (i20s) and just 10s behind the Polo of Devine.

    The BRC really ought not to be catering for those who are only prepared to do a 45 mile rally, it’s meant to be the top rung of the sport in this country.

    It should be positioned towards those semi-professionals who aren’t quite at WRC level yet or have had their chance and accept they should step back into another strong championship. Østberg went to do the Hungarian championship, Kristensson went to Poland, the French championship has loads of top WRC-2/former WRC-2 level drivers, Breen is doing the Portuguese championship…

    It’s not easy, but still not impossible to add value to those pro/semi-pro competitors who fancy the challenge of British forests and lanes. MSUK’s stance appears to be ‘we’ll make an effort to edge slightly away from clubman-level events and hope that the competitors and sponsors take a leap of faith on the BRC so we don’t have to put the real hard work in to make this a credible domestic championship again’

    Having heard of some quite disturbing behaviour at a BTRDA awards evening a few years back, I hope he is having a quite miserable future ahead of him. Dickhead.

    Never feel the Malcolm Wilson is the most 'spectator friendly' event. The Whinlatter stages are quite early, then it's a drive south to get to Grizedale.
    The Greystoke stage becoming non-spectator was a real blow for spectators on the event. Greystoke was always a relatively easy forest to access from the M6 with decent view points. I've marshalled in the Whinlatter area and they are great stages with good viewing points, but with the restriction of running so early it was a mad early start to the day.

    Yes, I'd agree with that. I recall when Whinlatter was run morning and afternoon; then it became one run in the morning, then it became early morning.....so the FC can re-open mid morning for walkers/MTB-ers.
    Having been to Greystoke, there were issues with parking on verges, which may have caused the issue.
    As I said earlier, for a BRC round, it's not spectator friendly; they should be trying to reduce traffic on the local roads, and run some spectator stages twice.

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

    Reading further down this article on Kieth Cronin it appears Adrien Fourmaux is doing the championship, just nobody is sure how many rounds he’ll do:

    I can see it being cancelled already as with snow Thurs/Fri it’ll all be ice by Saturday. All depends what FC decides.
