British Rally Championship 2022

Has anyone seen any of the onboards? The stages look absolutely cracking. Nant-y-moch and Pendam in particular look insane and much better in this direction (that loop of Nant-y-moch/Bont Goch/Pendam was run clockwise in ‘19).

The moorland section of Devil’s Bridge/Llanfihangel was another highlight.

Bont Goch was a slightly different route for the second half, and they didn’t use the small concrete bridge next to the dam. But yes a good route - can’t help but think though that longer stages just give a higher risk of losing a lot of mileage in case of accidents, as we discovered on the Friday night. Splitting them into two smaller stages would give better options but of course needs an extra set of timing marshals and senior officials.

I have heard of brilliant route ideas for next year too.

Yes I was thinking that about Glan yr Afon and Devil’s bridge being joined as one mammoth stage for Llanfihangel. Luckily no stage cancellations in the end.

What sort of thing have you heard for next year? I was wonderinng if residents had opposed to the Ystumtuen stage being used again this year but I found on the Ceredigion Council website for all the road closures there was an ‘Ystumtuen Spare Closure’ suggesting it wasn’t completely dead in the water… Perhaps though this was just from back in the early planning stages?

Yep for the Motor Race Order (whatever the Welsh equivalent is) it’s much easier to not use a road that’s been approved, but you can’t add it later if for whatever reason one of the others can’t be used.
Three Shires are surely about to find out that they can’t simply reschedule, they need a new MRO which needs to be applied for a minimum of 6 months in advance.

I'm sure that one or two switched on organisers have applied for an MRO for all the intended stages plus a reserve stage, in case it's needed.

Massive praise from everyone for this event makes it a real beacon of hope for UK rallying.

I heard a couple of mentions that it could try to be part of the ERC in future. That would also be a big lift to the sport here if it happens. Anything that can raise the profile has to be a good thing.

[AndyRAC]

Yes, it's more than capable on the organisational side of being in the ERC. The issue will be ££££££

Yes, but a MRO is for a specific date.

Have heard from a reliable source that Ceredigion ran at a huge loss. Great event with big ambitions, but not sure how sustainable it is like that, and only had a couple of ERT entries.
