    That is something the sport will never solve; when the championship is decided/ or can't be won, many drivers won't enter the remaining rounds. Many years ago I thought we'd eventually see entries for the whole season; as you see in the WRC, or top line racing series; like the BTCC for example.

    As we've said countless times, most UK competitors only want to do a one day 45 mile event. There aren't many who want to do more than that......

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

    Rally North Wales moves to Welshpool for next year. I wonder if that means a move for the stages too, it’d be s shame to lose Dyfi but perhaps a route similar to the 2019 Plains would be used… (Dyfnant, Aberhirnant, Llangower)

    Looks like a date has been set for the closed road event in my neck of the woods.

    Remember this is the old Bulldog (previously run in October); and they used to be a month apart - and would use similar stages. I can recall going to Dyfi in the morning, and then onto Dyfnant in the afternoon. I did wonder whether they could use Sweetlamb/ Hafren, but the Severn Valley now runs mid April, and uses those stages.

    Good news, that's an event to look forward to.

    Great news will be keeping an eye on this to hopefully compete. Based off postcode will presumably be based out of Thirsk Auction mart.

    They could just be replicate their 80s Audi Sport Rally years and early 90s, when Dyfnant and Dyfi were both at its core. In those days they had to start at and get back to Telford at the end... Dyfnant could be used to bridge the gap somewhat to Welshpool.

    Epynt moving to August… I didn’t see that coming. I wonder if Mewla will run at the end of the same month or if they move it to another time of year.

    East Riding should be a good season opener, I quite liked the look of it from video footage this year.

    Perhaps it could be a loop of Dyfnant-Dyfi-Aberhirnant. Perhaps with one of those only running once to prevent them all having to be about a dozen km long - too short IMO to really appreciate Dyfi and Dyfnant in their full glory!
