“Rallying emits Co2 which does not need to be emitted, hastening global ecosystem collapse.” So does everything else mate, get a life. How about we cancel all sport because of the Co2 which does not need to be emitted?

Read this and weep environmentalists!

Problem you have is that the press are always looking for click bait and as the guy mentioned in the story is a retired journo no doubt he will know all about timing for effect. Remember what happened though with the 11th hour postponement of the new closed road event up in Sth Yorkshire late last year to see what could happen. There is so much self entitlement and poor spirit in flight in this country just now it really is disappointing.

“Rallying emits Co2 which does not need to be emitted, hastening global ecosystem collapse.” So does everything else mate, get a life. How about we cancel all sport because of the Co2 which does not need to be emitted?

So what is rallying doing to try and convince people otherwise?
Some events are offsetting carbon, some competitors are too. But as a whole, rallying is sleepwalking into an early grave, and not coming up with any answers to avoid it.
Spectators simply aren’t interested in offsetting, or, god forbid, things like park & rides to a single spectator area.

FLS are in the middle of negotiating a new master agreement for Scotland and are trying to massively increase costs, some events/MSUK are paying it and the Galloway Hills has cancelled with presumably more to follow. The warning signs have been there since the last forest review which basically said that rallying needs to do much more. And yet pretty much nothing has been done.

Just to bring some money to an area, and insulting those who dare to ask questions, isn’t good enough. Then questioning why rallying is dying…..

Ironic when "Rali Ceredigion Receives Motorsport UK Environmental Sustainability Award"

Sad news for Yorkshire/North East rallying in that the landowner of the Melbourne airfield outside of York has decided to expand farming at the site and the last rally will now take place there in September. Leaves the county without a venue which is a massive shame. Spent many a happy hour there.

[J4MIE]

Single venue rallying will soon only be available at circuits in the winter off season.

It'll be great to see Matt Edwards back for Rali Ceredigion...

Not so great for Edwards on the Ulster Rally today...

Edwards Out 💥

Title contender Matt Edwards has come unstuck on Ulster Rally's third test. His Fiesta clipped a bank, dropping him out of the race for Ulster honours.

[Fast Eddie WRC]

So with the win going to Cronin in Ulster he has gone a warm favourite for the ITRC Title.

I wonder if he'll focus on that now as he's not had many good events so far in the BRC. The cost of doing both Championships must be pretty high.

[archie106]

Cronin hasn't had the best season so far in the BRC, however he isn't too far off the championship lead. There are two championship rounds at Ceredigion, and 1.5x points for the Cambrian so the BRC is only just over halfway through in terms of available points. He also hasn't yet used his joker points.

If he has a good run at Rali Ceredigion, he'll be right back in the hunt.
