British & Irish Championships 2024

[Sal yet again]

To say the East Riding isnt in any major championship this year its still attracted a proper entry if most of these crews make it to the start line.

… Found this with rallies.info, great site but entries come and go …

What you're looking at with an unseeded entry list on Rallies.info is a report extracted directly from the entries data file for that rally. The data is updated, edited &c by the entrants themselves, so it will change whenever they alter it. If an entry goes missing it's generally because the entrant has withdrawn it.

Rallies.info operate an on-line entry system, used by a great many events. When the event organisers decide to allow unseeded entries & seeded entries to be released the Rallies.info system is updated to allow general viewing of the list by the reports you're familiar with. Obviously, personal data like home addresses & phone numbers that are also in the data files are kept confidential to the system admin and event organisers. You also need to bear in mind that often there isn't any verification of the data until signing-on at the event. It isn't unheard of for a really big, fast all-wheel drive turbo monster to be entered in the RF1.4 class because whoever filled the on-line form in never bothered to select the right class when they put the entry in, so treat anything you see as "subject to change".

I know you counter a lot of my posts and I appreciate it however was aware of the site in question and was just trying to re-assure our fellow forum member that even come the day of the races the entry is subject to change obviously.

Still intrigued by those 2 M Sport entries on the NW though...

I cant imagine who they would be for if they're for their Rally2 cars. Maybe they could be for Fiesta Rally3's to try to promote and sell some ?

Does it necessarily mean it’s an M-Sport entry though? Wasn’t Matt Edwards BRC years for example run by M-Sport (as opposed to say, Autotek or CA1 Sport) but that doesn’t mean it was M-Sport choosing to place him in their team for the season…

Sorry.
The way I read your post, it seemed as though it was a bit of a mystery that entries on the unseeded list would change. Just thought I'd explain, for those who might not be aware, that the info in Rallies.info is directly linked to the actual entry data, rather than being scraped off the web as is the case with some other sources, and that it's under the control of the entrants themselves until immediately before the event.

Hi Chris
I tried to reply to your PM but when I clicked to submit it, I got a database error page and whatever I've tried to do to it since has resulted in the same error. I also now have a notification saying I've got 15 unread PM's
It looks like I've broken the forum and I did it using a PC with a proper keyboard so I can't even claim fat-finger on phone syndrome!
If your inbox is now cluttered with shite following my attempts, I apologise.
Steve

Nearly didnt go to the East Riding stages yesterday as been suffering from old man back problems however really glad I braved the early fog as the weather was stunning if a bit nippy. Just did SS2 at the 90 left past the church but some great action including young Mr Payne who obviously thought he was still doing the Riponian such was the angle he attacked the corner at! Dave Bogie's lovely Escort wasn't as lovely when it went past with the rear in tatters but for me just seeing that big Aston on the stage was worth the trip alone. Looks from the YT videos that there were good sized crowds out and hopefully the event will be back next year and in the Tarmac championship again at least.
