    Yeah, we've often seen rallying moaning about the leisure side impacting on rallying - and MTB gets mentioned; however MTB is fighting it's corner in some parts as it seems they're not wanted either. Quite a few articles on MTB websites, forums, and even petitions.

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

    Interesting to see the Cambrian Rally on ITV and that Creighton's spin was caused by him being distracted by a marshal. I hadn't heard this before, dont know if you guys had ?

    Anyway, it was quite a good highlights package, well-filmed and and an improvement on some earlier rounds. Great Welsh autumnal scenery and glorious weather too.

    You can now add midges to that!

    It isn't just the MTB's though, it's all the other forest users. I was running a passage control at the Langdale end of the Dalby Forest Drive many years ago when a family turned up wanting to enter the forest from that end and the driver complained bitterly that "He hadn't been told" the forest drive was closed for the day and that they'd driven all the way from Middlesborough. Going around to the other end & driving into the forest to watch the rally just wasn't acceptable. If the local forestry office got complaints of that nature regularly over the summer months then it's no surprise that they want to restrict rallying to the colder months.

    I particularly enjoyed the casting of Stig Blomqvist as the bartender in the "shoot-out" video at the start.

    Bit of a pity that Rob Jones wasn't there to give Stig some competition. He did 25 consecutive Cambrian Rallies in his Mini!

    SS1 and SS2 of Rally Anglo-Caledonian cancelled due to forecasted snow overnight.

    Hopefully the rest of the route can go ahead unaffected.

    The Grizedale Stages this weekend will make use of Grizedale East twice: https://www.ewrc-results.com/timetab...es-rally-2024/

    If all the forestry allocations of both GSR and MWR were clubbed together in one rally that would be one hell of a rally!

    When the Malcolm Wilson Rally was a British Rally Championship round in 2023 this is what I kind of hoped would happen. The extra mileage would mean full usage of as much lake district roads as possible. Unfortunately the event had stages cancelled before the rally and due to weather. But agree the idea itself is a great one although I imagine organisationally difficult.
