British & Irish Championships 2024

Especially with a few of those cars being ex-Colin McRae (or at least his era of Subaru) cars and the general public still, just, remember who he was

Getting a British version of this would help raise the profile of the sport here...

I'm not that impressed by that story; oh, what a surprise, a Finnish TV star makes it to the WRC.......If it was somebody from Australia, NZ or Peru then it's a story.

Or from Britain...

2024 Asphalt championship calendar has been unveiled and sadly no place for the East Riding stages but kicks off with the North West Stages instead.

‘Hills Ford Stages’? Are they no longer calling it the Three Shires?

[Sal yet again]

With the NW Stages being bi-annual wouldnt be at all surprised if the Three Shires is being viewed as a potential BRC round for '25..

[HKSjbg]

Hmmmm I hope not. It’s not the most exciting looking tarmac rally in the country. I was busy that weekend this year so I couldn’t have gone - Ledbury is less than half an hour from where I live - but even so I wasn’t that fussed, couldn’t have compared to Ceredigion.

The BRC needs to concentrate on quality rallies, not rounds for the sake of it.

Wouldn’t East Riding make more sense? It’s at the start of the season again, Yorkshire has already been lost from the BRC roster and wasn’t there discussion here a while back that the organisers had lofty ambitions of the ERC much like the Ceredigion team?

BRC status maybe a good leg up for the East Riding and sure they were talking about some night stages on the first day for '24. There was an "incident" this year but not sure that will stand against them in the long run and hopefully we will see a strong rally again next time around to build on.

From the spectator info available it looks like the Cambrian itinerary is going to be two runs through Brenig, once through Cloc and thrice through Elsi.

I don’t know if that is a change from the original plan or whether that was what it always was gonna be, it doesn’t exactly fill me with heightened anticipation for the BRC double-points season finale!
