The championship sporting regulations (available here: https://britishrallychampionship.co....ulations-1.pdf) has one class in the National section for 4WD cars, which is class 6. The definition is
Class 6 - Any 4WD car not classified in BRC1, BRC3 or Motorsport UK Open Title classWRC cars running in their homologation specification from before 31/10/2016, as well as any Rally2/R5 derived car not complying with BRC1
Any Rally2 or R5 car running outside its homologated specification (apart from an authorised coversion from LHD to RHD) would have to run as an Open entry.
Rally2 or R5 running as homologated are in BRC1.
Rally3 cars are in BRC3.
So that leaves National Class 6 for GpA & GpN 4WD cars and their derivatives (& GpB Citröen Visas - if there are any left!).

Although its been snowing pretty consistently for most of the day (I live about 10 minutes away from Wass) its not been really heavy so hopefully wont interfere with the running of the Riponian. May mean a few crews dont make it from Scotland etc though.

Hopefully the snow has cleared by then and it runs; otherwise, the Forestry in Yorkshire may well make the decision for the organisers.
Is there a better sound than that of Porsche engined Flat-6 ???

Met Office forecast for Helmsley has the temperature above freezing from now until after the event finishes, so hopefully it will go ahead as planned.

Nice to see Mr Perez continuing to support drivers outside of the family unit. Probably wont be as clean as that when it passes us on Sunday but suspect the sky will look the same!

Very wet and muddy Riponian today and would have struggled to get from my house to Wass if didnt drive an SUV as the flooding we have suffered locally for a while now was made a lot worse by heavy overnight rain.
Mainly enjoyable day in Wass for both runs only spoilt by a little over the top marshalling at one spot but great action provided by the Irish contingent in the Historics particularly. Shame that Chris seemed to be struggling in the TR but I suppose it was always going to take time to develop the car when Appleby's are ploughing a lone furrow against the Fords. Young Payne in the Fiesta though looked really quick and think he might just ruffle a few feathers in the BRC this year.
Great to see so many spectators out and goes to show there is still an appetite for the sport in this Shire.

M-Sport/ Ford have been testing using a 'simulator' in the USA. They say its helped improve the Puma Rally1 car, especially for tarmac. Does anyone know what this simulator could be like ? Story...
