British Rally Championship 2022

Yeah I wasn’t expecting the regs with full itinerary up yet but I was hoping for at least a short article with their plans for the rally outlined.

They tried a longer rally just for the BRC first time round in 2019 but had to cancel the extra stages at the last minute IIRC for 2020. Perhaps they’ve seen that the way the Trackrod does it works a bit better…

Lets hope they get the entries, and the Friday night stages can run. Should be fantastic - I always enjoy the Cambrian, and the return to the late October date suits the event better than February.

Will this have any impact on the title balance between Pryce and Cronin? I would presume Pryce will be hoping not in his comeback after Jim Clark.

I’m struggling to find any more info on the Cambrian Rally website but the itinerary is up on ewrc-results (without stage kms though). It looks like it’ll be a two-leg rally, similar to Rally Yorkshire, with two runs of ‘Nebo’ on the Friday night.

Any guesses at what 'Nebo' might be? A tarmac stage?


Btw, what did people make of Iain Campbell's recent tweet? https://twitter.com/skunnercampbell/...58079382020110

And @krispybacon60 thinks the UK should be automatically on the WRC calendar.
Quite some comparison between Llandudno and Tartu.

Some work to be done.

I'm still not sure how anyone would not consider this an own goal. Other than the backstreet service park year, I don't think anyone else really considered Llandudno to be a failing of Wales Rally GB. I'm not sure what he was going for, unless it was some kind of reverse psychology, whereby it was intended that everyone would reply telling him that Llandudno was actually quite good and he could take the praise!

That’s what I was thinking. It’s not a renaming of Twin Lakes from last year, miles away from each other. The nearest forest stages to Nebo are Penmachno and Gwydir, but we know Penmachno is on the itinerary and it would unlikely be a renaming of Gwydir.

Nebo itself seems like a very unlikely place to have a public road stage, maybe its up a farm track or something? Maybe one of the B- or C-roads up the nearby mountains???

Whatever it is I’ll be interested to find out and hope the competitive kms are closer to the Trackrod this time round!

I think I’ll definitely be making the trip through Wales to watch that one, probably the Saturday evening Devil’s Bridge stage. I wonder if it’ll be similar roads to the one I drove up to get to Myherin for last November’s Rallynuts…

I think he's trying to be too clever for his own good; Rally GB has had many faults, but Llandudno was perfectly fine as a host town; and the crowds turned out in numbers. He's been involved with IRC Rally Scotland, the BRC & Rally GB......There seems to be a pattern emerging here.....

As for Nebo; Google maps may help.....I'm guessing it's on the left turn off the B5113; As that is the only way you can work out a viable stage.

However, I maybe completely wrong...

Cant imagine Hayden registering for the BRC at this stage of the season so think he will just be a distraction in that sense. I trust he will be driving one of Andy Scott's cars if its from Albatec so not sure how recent an i20 it will be.

TER series is a bit of a novelty and kind of surprised its still kicking but anything that brings a bit of overseas focus to UK rallying has to be a good thing hasnt it?

[AndyRAC]

Yes, the chance to see a WRC event winner on the mainland is going to become rare, so seeing Hayden is not to be missed.
