British & Irish Championships 2024

Only just noticed this: the Woodpecker is moving to a Newtown/Sweet Lamb base this year, so could out watching the cars in Hafren again later this year.

Using some of the stages as seen in Saturday's Severn Valley.
In years past the Rallynuts/Severn Valley/ Kerridge/ Mutiny used the stages around Crychan, Halfway, Tywi, Radnor........And it was in late May/ early June; I never heard the reason for the date change, or the change of forests.

Hopefully that will be day two’s itinerary for the Severn Valley next year

Ingram still leads the BRC after Rd2..

Yes, a two day gravel event is a pipe dream.......

Nice to see the Appleby TR7 V8 making progress at the weekend with Miggins at the wheel. Exciting prospect for the Manx.

Yes, I meant BRC...and running Saturday/ Sunday. Not Friday night/ Saturday like Cambrian & Trackrod have done.

Well I think for once the new BRC season has lived up to the hype - we couldn’t reasonably expect much better than a former ERC champion and last year’s JWRC champion, among other high calibre entrants.

And everybody seemed happy enough doing 100 forestry kilometres last weekend so it might not be out of the realms of possibility that next year or the year after there could be at least one 2-day BRC gravel round. As this year has already proved doing more than 70km clubman rallies was always plausible, just so long as there was good promotional benefit in the BRC for the competitors to be interested

Can anyone tell me how Ingram managed to start 4th on the road with out penalty?
Seems unfair if road position tactics can be played, with out time penaltys?

Yeah, it's going really well - and one hopes everybody keeps doing the full series; and not pulling out when they can't win the series.

As for promotion, we just need them to put the live end of stage stuff on You Tube; I can't fathom why it's Facebook only.......It's 2024, not 2014.
