Surely the new promoter will switch the main class to R5/S2000? It seems inconceivable to me that they'd persist with running R3 as the top class, as surely that move can only be seen as an utter failure? There are people running R5s and S2000 in the UK who would surely be interested in BRC were they the top class? For instance Simpsons Skoda, David Bogie (he's doing the Scottish Rally in an R5+) or maybe Robert Barrable is he's not totally set on a few WRC outings? Even Mark Higgins was out on Rally GB last year in an R5...

In an ideal world I'd also like to see the new promoter at least try and encourage its rally organisers to run longer rallies. Though I appreciate the implications in organisation and cost of this, the gravel rallies in particular this year and in recent times have virtually been none events (the Wales rounds has been a real none event ), what with them being so short. The 220km limit for events in the ERC should be an aspiration for BRC events. All two day events, with the calender ending with a single round, 3 day rally on the Isle of Man would be nice.
