Not really got high hopes to be honest. Hopefully the shorter calendar, plus GB finale, will ensure at least the entries we do get remain throughout the season.
With Dmack rolling back their WRC commitments I wonder whether they'd be open to a BRC return? Not really heard too many rumours beyond Kalle - but the amount of WRC clashes is troublesome in that regard. Not really sure what Ahlin has to gain by doing another year of BRC either.RS Motorsport Media - Follow me on Instagram: rsmotorsportmedia

I'm not overly optimistic to be honest. Instead of progressing, it looks like the opposite could happen. They need to organise the calendar better; no clashes with the WRC is a priority.
And, really, a BRC round need to be an 'event' - not a local club event jumping up to the BRC. They need to improve the promotion massively; it's nowhere near were it needs to be.
We're now in year three; time to move on.
Is there a better sound than that of Porsche engined Flat-6 ???

Pity the rumoured season for Kalle Rovanperä in BRC with M-Sport hasnt happened. Suppose it cant compete with a WRC2 factory drive...

A 'name' like Rovanperä would've been the early boost the 2018 BRC needed.
We just have to hope something big comes along in January. If not, all that BRC comeback buzz will be wasted..

What teams and drivers have given signals that they will be in BRC in 2018?
Not only in BRC1 but also in the lower classes!

It's a concern I must say. I can't speak directly about our past Toyota deal but there was factory backing there in 2016 and available again in 2017 but sadly no crews wanted to play in r3.
The series has concentrated way way too much on the R5 class and R2 juniors, with pretty much all prize money and coverage going there. In fairness it seems from what I'm seeing in the 2018 guide feedback has been listened too and a more even spread of prize structure is coming.

R3 is not so interesting anymore. Here in Belgium also.
